Molecular and morphological methods for identifying plankton: what makes a successful marriage? (2009, methodology): “…subunit or other ribosomal gene) is another molecular technique that has been widely used for the identification of plankton (e.g. Lopez-Garcia et al., 2001; Moon-van der Staay et al., 2001; Stoeck and Epstein, 2003; Bass and Cavalier-Smith, 2004; reviewed in Epstein and López-Garcı́a, 2008).”

Application of Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) To Study the Diversity of Marine Picoeukaryotic Assemblages and Comparison of DGGE with Other Molecular Techniques (2001, background): “Significant levels of prasinophytes in other open ocean and coastal environments were detected in libraries of 18S rDNA genes (9, 35), in an analysis of plastidic clones of a bacterial 16S rDNA library (44), by HPLC pigment analysis (20), and by electron microscopy (5).”
EARLY EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF DINOFLAGELLATES AND APICOMPLEXANS (ALVEOLATA) AS INFERRED FROM HSP90 AND ACTIN PHYLOGENIES 1 (2004, background): “…indicate that the earliest stages of dinoflagellate evolution appear to be dominated by parasitic lineages, such as perkinsids and syndinians (e.g. Amoebophrya and Hematodinium) (Gunderson et al. 1999, 2002, Lopez-Garcia et al. 2001, Moon-van der Staay et al. 2001, Saldarriaga et al. 2001).”
“Missing” protists: a molecular prospective (2008, methodology): “The Wrst molecular diversity studies carried out on marine picoplankton revealed the presence of two large clusters of alveolate sequences, initially termed marine alveolates Group I and II (Díez et al. 2001; López-García et al. 2001; Moon-van der Staay et al. 2001; Moreira and López-García 2002).”
Genetic diversity of eukaryotic ultraphytoplankton in the Gulf of Naples during an annual cycle (2007, background): “Recent genetic studies have highlighted the taxonomic diversity of these small cells (Rappé et al. 1995, Potter et al. 1997, Díez et al. 2001a,b, Moon-van der Staay et al. 2001, Medlin et al. 2006), including revealing new classes and novel lineages (Guillou et al. 1999, Massana et al. 2002).”
Contribution of picoplankton to the total particulate organic carbon concentration in the eastern South Pacific (2007, background): “Here the photosynthetic biomass is dominated by three main picophytoplanktonic ( 2–3µm) groups (e.g. Li, 1995): cyanobacteria of the generaProchlorococcus (Chisholm et al., 1988) andSynechococcus (Waterbury et al., 1979), and eukaryotes belonging to diverse taxa (Moon-van der Staay et al., 2001).”
Protistan assemblages across the Indian Ocean, with a specific emphasis on the picoeukaryotes (2008, positive): “Since 2001, molecular techniques have been applied to qualitatively describe the diversity of picoeukaryotes in the open ocean (Dı́ez et al., 2001b; López Garcı́a et al., 2001; Moon-van der Staay et al., 2001).”
Phylogeny of Opisthokonta and the evolution of multicellularity and complexity in Fungi and Metazoa (2003, background): “Finally, an available SSU sequence, recovered from an environmental sample of picoplankton (Moon-van der Staay et al. 2001), appears to represent a phantom choanoflagellate that is more closely related to Salpinoeca infusionum than to any other sampled species.”
Reconciling classical and molecular phylogenies in the stichotrichines (Ciliophora, Spirotrichea), including new sequences from some rare species (2004, methodology): “The 18S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR with the oligonucleotide primers targeting the conserved sequences close to the 50 and 30 termini of the gene (Moon-van der Staay et al. 2001).”
