Spatiotemporal analysis of population genetic structure in Geomonhystera disjuncta (Nematoda, Monhysteridae) reveals high levels of molecular diversity (2007, background): “tivity between populations and frequently uncover cryptic taxa (Schizas et al. 1999; Knowlton 2000; Rocha-Olivares et al. 2001; Govindarajan et al. 2005).”
The rapid evolution of reproductive proteins (2002, background): “The question of how speciation occurs is especially interesting for marine species that release their gametes into seawater and that have planktonic larvae capable of dispersing over long distance”
The deep-sea floor ecosystem: current status and prospects of anthropogenic change by the year 2025 (2003, background): “…analyses suggest that common polychaete species may range well beyond the scales of impact of individual mining operations (Glover et al. 2002), but these results must be verified with molecular techniques due to the frequency of cryptic species in marine invertebrates (Knowlton 2000).”
Reef-associated crustacean fauna: biodiversity estimates using semi-quantitative sampling and DNA barcoding (2009, background): “Especially, noteworthy is its ability to detect cryptic species, which are common on coral reefs and are difficult to detect using traditional taxonomic methods (Knowlton 1993, 2000).”
Polychaete species diversity in the central Pacific abyss: Local and regional patterns and relationships with productivity (2002, positive): “However, molecular studies have highlighted the potential for cryptic species in morphologically similar individuals (Grassle & Grassle 1977, Etter et al. 1999, Knowlton 2000, Westheide & Hass-Cordes 2001).”
DNA Barcoding the Medusozoa using mtCOI (2010, background): “Cryptic species (i.e., morphologically indistinguishable, yet genetically and evolutionarily distinct) can best be discovered through the use of molecular techniques (Knowlton, 1993, 2000).”
Molecular phylogeny of the American Callinectes Stimpson, 1860 (Brachyura: Portunidae), based on two partial mitochondrial genes (2007, background): “Molecular analyses are particularly useful in clarifying species status when analyses of morphological characters are not deWnitive (Knowlton 1993; Knowlton et al. 1993; Knowlton 2000).”
Toward a global reference database of COI barcodes for marine zooplankton (2021, background): “Some taxonomic groups (e.g., Copepoda) include numerous groups of sibling species, which are difficult or impossible (i.e., cryptic) to discriminate based on morphological characteristics (Knowlton 2000; Lindsay et al.”
Evolution of coral reef fish Thalassoma spp. (Labridae). 1. Molecular phylogeny and biogeography (2004, positive): “In other taxa, where morphological data (including color pattern and hue) shed little light on relationships, molecular approaches have proven useful (Avise 1994; Seehausen et al. 1999; Crochet et al. 2000; Knowlton 2000).”
Macro-morphological variation among cryptic species of the moon jellyfish, Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) (2003, positive): “This clearly has not been the case for Aurelia and many other marine invertebrates (Knowlton 1993, 2000).”
The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography (2008, background): “…of molecular tools to marine taxa has demonstrated that many supposed widespread ecological generalists are complexes of cryptic species (e.g., Knowlton, 1993, 2000), often occurring as archipelagic endemics (e.g. Paulay and Meyer, 2002; Williams and Reid, 2004), or in marine lake ‘islands’…”
DNA barcoding of Arctic Ocean holozooplankton for species identification and recognition (2010, background): “Population genetic and phylogeographic analysis using mtCOI can reveal ecologically and taxonomically significant geographic variation within widespread marine species (Knowlton, 2000).”
Genetic discontinuity among regional populations of Lophelia pertusa in the North Atlantic Ocean (2011, background): “…species are more spatially structured than would be predicted based on life history characteristics or geographic distributions (Barber et al. 2000; Knowlton 2000; Warner and Cowen 2002; Swearer et al. 2002; Taylor and Hellberg 2003; Ayre and Hughes 2004; Baums et al. 2005; Cowen et al. 2006;…”
