New, resurrected and redefined species of Mastocarpus (Phyllophoraceae, Rhodophyta) from the northeast Pacific (2011, background): “…not arising solely from the apophysis; papillae, habitats and distributions various . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 1 This species was described by Le Gall and Saunders (2010) from the west coast of Vancouver Island; it is also known from central California (Hughey, personal observations).”
An assessment of proposed DNA barcodes in freshwater green algae (2010, unknown): “…widely used in animals (Ferri et al., 2009; Wilson, DNA barcodes in freshwater green algae 531 2010, and references therein) and some algal lineages including red algae (Sherwood et al., 2008; Le Gall & Saunders, 2010), brown algae (McDevit & Saunders, 2010) and some diatoms (Evans et al., 2007).”
Goodbye morphology? A paradigm shift in the delimitation of species in lichenized fungi (2011, background): “However, DNA barcoding studies have also been instrumental in identifying cryptic species in a variety of organisms (e.g., Saunders 2008; Chantangsi et al. 2007; Le Gall and Saunders 2010; Johnson et al. 2008; Zemlak et al. 2009; Burns et al. 2008; Gomez et al. 2007; Moura et al. 2008).”
DNA-based species delimitation in algae (2014, background): “…Red algae rbcL, Rubisco spacer cox1, cox2-3 spacer Phycoerythrin, elongation factor, LSU rDNA Robba et al., 2006; Sherwood et al., 2008, 2010; Le Gall & Saunders, 2010; Kucera & Saunders, 2012; Saunders & McDevit, 2012; Janouškovec et al., 2013; Payo et al., 2013 Brown algae psbA, rbcL, Rubisco…”
A comparison of two DNA barcode markers for species discrimination in the red algal family Kallymeniaceae (Gigartinales, Florideophyceae), with a description of Euthora timburtonii sp. nov. (2010, methodology): “…there was either poor amplification using the above primers or contamination problems due to epiphytic/endophytic biota, the following primer combinations were used: GazF2 (Lane et al. 2007) and GazR1, GWSFn (Le Gall and Saunders 2010) and GWSR3 (Saunders 2009) and GWSF5 (Saunders 2009) and GazR1.”
An evaluation of rbcL, tufA, UPA, LSU and ITS as DNA barcode markers for the marine green macroalgae (2010, background): “…in species identification, discovery of cryptic species, or new records for red (Rhodophyta) and brown (Phaeophyceae) seaweeds (Saunders, 2005; Robba et al., 2006; Kucera & Saunders, 2008; Saunders, 2008; McDevit & Saunders, 2009; Saunders, 2009; Walker et al., 2009; Le Gall & Saunders, 2010).”
The use of partial cox1, rbcL and LSU rDNA sequences for phylogenetics and species identification within the Nitzschia palea species complex (Bacillariophyceae) (2010, background): “However, none of the genes studied can yet be claimed to be ideal, because there is no clear evidence of a barcode gap (a discontinuity between the levels of intraspecific and interspecific divergence such as was found in the red algae studied by Le Gall & Saunders, 2010), only a threshold.”
