Revealing secret liaisons: DNA barcoding changes our understanding of food webs (2010, background): “…in which molecular markers have resolved multiple specialised cryptic taxa within what was thought to be a generalist species (Kankare et al., 2005; Smith et al., 2006, 2008; Bickford et al., 2007; Heraty et al., 2007; Pénzes et al., 2009; Nicholls et al., 2010), but contrasts with them by…”
Cryptic species within the wheat curl mite Aceria tosichella (Keifer) (Acari : Eriophyoidea), revealed by mitochondrial, nuclear and morphometric data (2012, background): “…revealed that presumed polyphagous taxa are, in fact, complexes of cryptic species that are specialised to different hosts (e.g. Drés and Mallet 2002; Hebert et al. 2003; Blair et al. 2005; Stireman et al. 2005; Smith et al. 2006; Rach et al. 2008; Skoracka and Dabert 2010).”
A comparison of algorithms for the identification of specimens using DNA barcodes: examples from gymnosperms (2007, background): “…et al., 2000, 2005; Floyd et al., 2002; Vra˚lstad et al., 2002; Rosling et al., 2003; Tedersoo et al., 2003; De Ley et al., 2005; Kopchinskiy et al., 2005; Kress et al., 2005; Markmann and Tautz, 2005; Monaghan et al., 2005; Steinke et al., 2005; Vences et al., 2005a,b; Smith et al., 2006).”
Molecular markers for biodiversity analysis of wildlife animals: a brief review (2009, methodology): “The COI–DNA barcode has been testified as a tool for spe� cies identification, biodiversity analysis and discovery for morphospecies of Belvosia parasitoid flies (Smith et al., 2006).”
Refined Global Analysis of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodoidea: Aleyrodidae) Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase 1 to Identify Species Level Genetic Boundaries (2010, background): “It is therefore likely that molecular data will aid in identifying the species-level boundaries within B. tabaci as it has with other complexes (Hebert et al. 2003a, Ward et al. 2005, Smith et al. 2006).”
Parasitoids, predators and PCR: the use of diagnostic molecular markers in biological control of Arthropods (2007, methodology): “However, extensive host-rearing records and DNA barcoding (of both the COI and ITS1 regions) of approximately 20 morphospecies of Belvosia revealed that there are 32 species, many being cryptic species with a high degree of specificity for their lepidopteran host (Smith et al. 2006).”
DNA barcoding: how it complements taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics and population genetics. (2007, background): “Alternate markers have also been used where COI sequences have not been produced robustly or are shown to be divergent within species [18] or as further molecular evidence in the discovery of cryptic species [ 19 ].”
Resolving Food-Web Structure (2020, background): “The discovery of such cryptic species has accelerated with the advent of modern molecular diagnostics, especially DNA barcoding (Hebert et al. 2004; Smith et al. 2006, 2007, 2008; Janzen et al. 2017).”
Integrating genetic data into management of marine resources: how can we do it better? (2008, background): “More broadly, genetic data are widely used in many aspects of global biodiversity conservation, including identification of species (Hebert et al. 2004; Smith et al. 2006) and conservation units (Waples 1991; Moritz 1994; Crandall et al.”
A minimalist barcode can identify a specimen whose DNA is degraded (2006, neutral): “2006; Smith et al .”
DNA barcoding for ecologists. (2009, background): “Several morphospecies of tachinid parasitoidflies thought to be generalist actually corresponded to many different cryptic species that were less generalist or even specialist [ 25 ,26].”
Current progress in DNA barcoding and future implications for entomology (2011, background): “Smith et al. (2006) evaluated the feasibility of using DNA barcodes for studying parasitoid insects.”
Integrative taxonomy identifies new (and old) species in the Lasioglossum (Dialictus) tegulare (Robertson) species group (Hymenoptera, Halictidae) (2009, background): “…amounts of differentiation are commonly found among species in the Halictidae (Wheeler 1928; Michener 2007), as well as in many other insects (Hebert et al. 2004; Smith et al. 2006, 2008) and as noted above, genetically well-differentiated species are sometimes morphologically indistinguishable.”
