• Deep-sea octocorals and antipatharians show no evidence of seamount-scale endemism in the NW Atlantic (2009, background): “Short sequences (<1000 bp) of mtDNA have not been shown to be variable at the intraspecific level in most anthozoans and therefore are not suitable for population-level studies (France & Hoover 2001, 2002, Shearer et al. 2002, McFadden et al. 2004, but see Chen et al. 2008a,b for scleractinians).”
• DNA Barcoding the Medusozoa using mtCOI (2010, background): “For example, mtCOI has been ineffective in barcoding corals (Shearer and Coffroth, 2008), due to slow mitochondrial evolution within the Anthozoa (France and Hoover, 2002; Shearer et al., 2002; Hellberg, 2006).”
• Barcoding animal life: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 divergences among closely related species (2003, background): “This result is not surprising as rates of mitochondrial evolution are exceptionally low in these organisms (France & Hoover 2002; Shearer et al. 2002).”
• Mitochondrial evolution and phylogeography in the hydrozoan Obelia geniculata (Cnidaria) (2005, background): “Anthozoans exhibit very low substitution rates in their mitochondrial sequences, even at COI third codon positions (which are under less selective pressure; Snell et al. 1998; Medina et al. 1999; France and Hoover 2002).”
• The campaign to DNA barcode all fishes, FISH-BOL. (2009, background): “For example, COI evolves very slowly in certain groups of benthic Cnidaria (France & Hoover, 2002; Shearer et al., 2002) and hence does not deliver species-level resolution (Hebert et al., 2003).”
