• Species diversity, taxonomy and distribution of Chondrichthyes in the Mediterranean and Black Sea (2020, background): “Today more careful studies tend to separate the common skate D. batis species-complex into two nominal species, the blue skate (temporarily called Dipturus cf. flossada [Risso, 1826]) and the flapper skate (Dipturus cf. intermedia [Parnell, 1837]) (Iglésias et al. 2010).”
• Mapping the biosphere: exploring species to understand the origin, organization and sustainability of biodiversity (2012, background): “One uncorrected 80-year-old mistaken species identification is leading to the possible extinction of a commercially important fish species ( Iglesias et al , 2009 ).”
• The importance of research and public opinion to conservation management of sharks and rays: a synthesis (2011, unknown): “For example, Iglésias et al. (2010) revealed that catches of the Critically Endangered flapper skate (Dipturus batis) are a species complex, and in the north-eastern Atlantic, the catches actually belong to two different species.”
• A DNA Sequence–Based Approach To the Identification of Shark and Ray Species and Its Implications for Global Elasmobranch Diversity and Parasitology (2012, result): “Recent published work by Iglésias et al. (2009) reveals that the D. batis complex likely consists of two species, both of which should be considered as valid, i.e., D. cf. flossada and D. cf. intermedia. Following these designations and morphological characters provided by Iglésias et al. (2009), th”
