• Annotated checklist of the birds of Brazil by the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee—second edition (2021, methodology): “To assess the limit and validity of species, CBRO adopts the General Lineage Species Concept (de Queiroz 2005; Aleixo 2007).”
• Species concepts and species delimitation. (2007, background): “As I have argued previously (e.g., de Queiroz, 1998, 1999, 2005a, 2005b, 2005c), the key to reconciling the alternative species concepts is identifying a common element, which implies a single, more general, concept of species.”
• IS A NEW AND GENERAL THEORY OF MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS EMERGING? (2009, background): “For example, the “metapopulation lineage species concept” proposed by de Queiroz (2005) views species as sets of wholly or partially interbreeding units and subsumes many of the positive aspects of multiple species concepts.”
• Ecological explanations for (incomplete) speciation. (2009, background): “characteristic of having stages of divergence [14, 25 ].”
• What are fungal species and how to delineate them? (2021, background): “Even before Darwin published the ‘On the origin of species’, speciation was highly debated among biologists (De Queiroz 2005).”
• Species concepts and speciation factors in cyanobacteria, with connection to the problems of diversity and classification (2015, background): “Staley (2006) proposed the genomic-phylogenetic species concept, while Achtman and Wagner (2008) adapted the de Queiroz (2005, 2007) general lineage concept to a prokaryote-limited metapopulation lineages concept, requiring only that ‘‘members’’ of a species (lineage) evolve separately from other…”
• Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “Biodiversity can be subdivided into a range of categories from genes to ecosystems, but it is the species category in particular that underpins much of biology, ecology and conservation (May 1990, Mace 2004, de Queiroz 2005).”
• Species taxonomy of birds: Which null hypothesis? (2014, background): “Mayr championed the Biological Species Concept (BSC), which portrays species as arrays of local populations that are linked reproductively through exchange of individuals and/or their gametes and progeny (Hastings and Harrison 1994, De Queiroz 2005).”
