Barcoding diatoms: evaluation of the V4 subregion on the 18S rRNA gene, including new primers and protocols (2011, background): “Its potential to identify species is promising and has been demonstrated in many protists, fungi and plant groups (e.g. Gemeinholzer et al. 2006; Kelly et al. 2010; Litaker et al. 2007; Taylor et al. 2008).”
DNA-based species delimitation in algae (2014, background): “Evolution of the Fucaceae (Phaeophyceae) inferred from nrDNA-ITS.”
Specificity in communities of Symbiodinium in corals from Johnston Atoll (2009, background): “…repetition in rDNA drive intragenomic and intraspecific variation (Adachi et al. 1996, Le Blancq et al. 1997, Lott et al. 1998, Coleman 2003, Denboh et al. 2003, Litaker et al. 2003, 2007, Orsini et al. 2004, Rynearson & Armbrust 2004, Shankle et al. 2004, Godhe et al. 2006, Aktas et al. 2007,…”
Gambierdiscus excentricus sp. nov. (Dinophyceae), a benthic toxic dinoflagellate from the Canary Islands (NE Atlantic Ocean) (2011, background): “In a recent study, Litaker et al. (2007) screened the ITS/5.8S variation in 14 genera of dinoflagellates and proposed that uncorrected genetic distance (p) values exceeding 0.04 would represent the boundary at specieslevel.”
Taxonomic reassessment of the genus Chlorella (Trebouxiophyceae) using molecular signatures (barcodes), including description of seven new species. (2011, methodology): “Biotests with Scenedesmus in culture revealed an increase in the colony–size due to “Daphnia–factors” (hessen & van donk 1993; lamPert et al. 1994; lürling 1998; von elert & Frank 1999; Wiltshire & lamPert 1999) as well as “Brachionus–factors” (verschoor et al. 2004).”
Understanding diversity in coral-algal symbiosis: a cluster-based approach to interpreting fine-scale genetic variation in the genus Symbiodinium (2009, background): “1992) within both soft corals and dinoflagellates (Adachi et al. 1996, 1997; McFadden and Hutchinson 2004; Shao et al. 2004; Litaker et al. 2007).”
Taxonomy of Gambierdiscus including four new species, Gambierdiscus caribaeus, Gambierdiscus carolinianus, Gambierdiscus carpenteri and Gambierdiscus ruetzleri (Gonyaulacales, Dinophyceae) (2009, methodology): “Another interesting observation was that the variation between rDNA alleles of the same species was higher than observed in other previously examined species (Litaker et al. 2007).”
Long‐standing environmental conditions, geographic isolation and host–symbiont specificity influence the relative ecological dominance and genetic diversification of coral endosymbionts in the genus Symbiodinium (2010, background): “Slight differences in ITS sequences are usually attributed to inter-individual variation (Litaker et al., 2007; Alverson, 2008).”
