Prospects for using DNA barcoding to identify spiders in species-rich genera (2009, background): “…gene regions for species identifi cation and discovery (Hebert et al. 2003) – has proven to be very eff ective in identifying specimens to species level for many diff erent groups of organisms, from butterfl ies (Lukhtanov et al. 2009) to birds (Kerr et al. 2007) to plants (Kress et al. 2005).”
Testing the reliability of genetic methods of species identification via simulation. (2008, neutral): “, 2003), use either the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene for animals or one of a range of genes for plants (Kress et al., 2005; Little and Stevenson, 2007; Rubinoff et al., 2006a).”
Predicting tropical insect herbivore abundance from host plant traits and phylogeny (2012, methodology): “We sequenced according to published protocols (Kress et al. 2005, 2009, Kress and Erickson 2007), and all sequences were deposited in GenBank (accession numbers JF738369–JF739166; available online).6 We estimated phylogenetic relationships among all species of woody plants including trees, shrubs,…”
Closing the gaps: phylogenetic relationships in the Brassicaceae based on DNA sequence data of nuclear ribosomal ITS region (2010, neutral): “Greene Warwick et al. (2007) – DQ357540 Erysimum cheiranthoides L. Kress et al. (2005) – DQ005989 Euclidieae (EUCL) Braya alpina Sternb.”
Highly Variable Chloroplast Markers for Evaluating Plant Phylogeny at Low Taxonomic Levels and for DNA Barcoding (2012, background): “Some regions of the chloroplast genome, for example, atpF-H, matK, psbK-I, rbcL, rpoB, rpoC1 and trnH-psbA have been relied upon heavily for development of candidate markers for plant DNA barcoding [8,9,10,11,12].”
Association of insect life stages using DNA sequences: the larvae of Philodytes umbrinus (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) (2005, background): “Although sometimes indirectly suggested as a potential strength of the use of DNA sequence data in taxonomy (Barrett & Hebert, 2005; Kress et al., 2005), in entomology, such associations have been few.”
An In silico approach for the evaluation of DNA barcodes (2010, background): “Since then, other portions of DNA have been proposed as barcodes, because different DNA regions have different performances in some taxa (e.g., flowering plants [9,10]; amphibians [11]).”
Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants (2011, background): “The former two scenarios clearly suggest hybridization and introgression between closely related species or shared ancestral polymorphisms; the third scenario indicates either a lower mutation rate in plastid DNA compared with ITS or possible hybridization and introgression, as has been found by num”
A comparison of algorithms for the identification of specimens using DNA barcodes: examples from gymnosperms (2007, methodology): “…that our results strongly contrast with the ﬁndings of Hebert et al. (2003), Ball et al. (2005), Barrett and Hebert (2005), Chase et al. (2005), Kress et al. (2005), Steinke et al. (2005) and Vences et al. (2005a) while the results reported here are more or less in agreement with the ﬁndings…”
Choosing and Using a Plant DNA Barcode (2011, background): “[4,5]; Table 1), four main suggestions for a plant barcode were proposed by three different research groups/research consortia from the systematic community.”
Impact of DNA sequence-data on the taxonomy of anamorphic fungi (2007, background): “Their sequence analysis suggested that divergences in COI gene in fungi are considerable, unlike in plants (Kress et al., 2005).”
A Two-Locus Global DNA Barcode for Land Plants: The Coding rbcL Gene Complements the Non-Coding trnH-psbA Spacer Region (2007, methodology): “However, despite the promise of these regions as putative single-locus barcodes the overall lower levels of mutation rates in plants compared to animals [11] may necessitate a multi-locus barcode to maximally discriminate among plant species [7–8].”
DNA barcoding for ecologists. (2009, background): “For plants the situation is controversial, and many strategies have been proposed, either based on a single chloroplast region [ 6 ,7] or on a combination of different regions [8,9].”
