Quantifying effects of pollution on biodiversity: a case study of highly diverse molluscan assemblages in the Mediterranean (2005, background): “…the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on multivariate assemblages may be continuously advanced by the development of innovative statistical procedures, the widespread demise of taxonomy (May 1990; Giangrande 2003) may yet prevent an adequate taxonomic definition of the considered variables.”
Use of DNA barcoding to detect invertebrate invasive species from diapausing eggs (2011, background): “Fourth, traditional taxonomic identification often demands a very high level of expertise and can be very time consuming, with misidentifications or high uncertainty being a common result (Giangrande 2003).”
