Species Delimitation: A Decade After the Renaissance (2013, unknown): “ods), and as also noted by de Queiroz [12], due to the contingencies of speciation processes, any single criterion or data set will artificially reduce the complexity of evolving lineages.”
Molecules, ecology, morphology, and songs in concert: how many species is Arremon torquatus (Aves: Emberizidae)? (2009, background): “Accepting this unified concept of species (de Queiroz, 2005) implies that systematists can focus on identifying lineages and on testing hypotheses about where those lineages stand in the process of differentiation by examining whether they have attained properties such as phenotypic diagnosability,…”
A response to recent proposals for integrative taxonomy (2010, background): “The point of separation from the sister lineage is what marks the origin of a species (Wiley, 1978; Wiens, 2004), and neither subspecies nor ‘subspeciation’ are logically needed (Wilson & Brown, 1953; Wiley, 1978; Frost & Kluge, 1994; de Queiroz, 2005).”
Towards integrative taxonomy (2005, background): “The notion of lineage is a common component of all views of species proposed during the last 50 years (de Queiroz, 1999, 2005).”
Deciphering the products of evolution at the species level: the need for an integrative taxonomy (2009, background): “…from other lineages, and that no trait alone (e.g. reproductive incompatibility, morphological differentiation, etc.) can be considered as a biological property that a species must show to be recognized as such (Wiley 1978; Frost & Kluge 1994; Mayden 1997, 2002; de Queiroz 2005a,b,c, 2007).”
Integrative taxonomy reveals cryptic Amazonian species of Pristimantis (Anura: Strabomantidae) (2009, methodology): “We reviewed holotypes or paratypes of species taxa considered in this study (see Appendix), and also compared additional museum specimens for all species to assess intraspecific variation. We followed Lynch & Duellman (1997) for qualitative morphological character states used in the diagnoses and de”
