Plant DNA barcodes: Applications today and in the future (2017, methodology): “However, the publication of the first community phylogeny basedonDNAbarcode sequencedata for the trees in the forest dynamics plot on Barro Colorado Island in Panama (Kress et al., 2009; Fig.”
Change in community phylogenetic structure during tropical forest succession: evidence from New Guinea (2012, methodology): “Kress et al. (2009) advocated the use of DNA sequences over approximations of divergence times (Kembel and Hubbell 2006, Letcher 2010) or equal branch lengths (Webb 2000).”
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,…”
Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants (2011, background): “Finally, a combination of DNA markers from different genomes, which have different modes of inheritance and track different evolutionary histories, will further our understanding of species delimitation and evolutionary processes of speciation, another important aim of DNA barcoding (6) that may als”
CTFS‐ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (2015, background): “DNA barcoding provides a powerful means of species identification that allows elucidation of phylogenetic relationships and ecological roles (Dick & Kress, 2009; Kress et al., 2009, 2010).”
Collections‐based science in the 21st Century (2018, methodology): “This and other efforts (Webb, 2000) led Kress et al. (2009) to barcode all the tree species in the BCI plot and use those barcodes to produce amore reliable phylogeny than the one produced by Kembel & Hubbell (2006).”
Not All Sequence Tags Are Created Equal: Designing and Validating Sequence Identification Tags Robust to Indels (2012, methodology): “To test the design and resulting utility of PCR primers sequence-tagged using the helper program, we integrated the entire set (n = 164) of 10 nucleotide, edit distance five sequence tags (File S2) to primers amplifying the rbcLa locus in land plants [46,47].”
Discriminating plant species in a local temperate flora using the rbcL+matK DNA barcode (2011, methodology): “Indeed, the results we obtained for the complete data set are similar to previous findings for a local flora in both scope and magnitude [rbcL: 75%, matK: 99% (Kress et al. 2009)], although substantially lower values have been reported for Amazonian trees sampled at a much smaller spatial scale [rbc”

Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi (2012, methodology): “In plants, CO1 has limited value for differentiating species, and a two-marker system of chloroplast genes was adopted (7, 8) based on portions of the ribulose 1-5-biphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase large subunit gene and a maturase-encoding gene from the intron of the trnK gene.”
