• DNA BARCODING IS A POWERFUL TOOL TO UNCOVER ALGAL DIVERSITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE PHYLLOPHORACEAE (GIGARTINALES, RHODOPHYTA) IN THE CANADIAN FLORA 1 (2010, background): “…bamfieldiensis Abbreviations: COI, cytochrome oxidase subunit I; L, likelihood; rbcL, RUBISCO LSU Red algal systematists are relying increasingly on molecular data to resolve deep phylogenies (Yoon et al. 2006, Le Gall and Saunders 2007), as well as species boundaries (Saunders and Lehmkuhl 2005).”
• An evaluation of rbcL, tufA, UPA, LSU and ITS as DNA barcode markers for the marine green macroalgae (2010, background): “…region of the LSU is known to be variable at the species level in some lineages and has been used to identify and screen for new species in taxonomic groups including animals, plants and algae (e.g., Saunders & Lehmkuhl, 2005; Subbotin et al., 2005; Hajieghrari et al., 2007; Heraty et al., 2007).”
• Testing a new classification of morphological functional groups of marine macroalgae for the detection of responses to stress (2011, background): “algal species. Several studies have revealed cryptic diversity in many macroalgae, demonstrating that morphologybased observations led to misidentifications for a long time ( Saunders and Lehmkuhl 2005; Lindstrom 2008; Tronholm et al. 2010).”
• European seaweeds under pressure: Consequences for communities and ecosystem functioning (2015, background): “Difficulties in distinguishing morphological plasticity from fixed diagnostic traits that separate the various species in the absence of molecular sequence data have resulted in an underestimation of species diversity (e.g. Brodie et al., 2007; Saunders and Lehmkuhl, 2005).”
• A DNA barcode examination of the red algal family Dumontiaceae in Canadian waters reveals substantial cryptic species diversity. 1. The foliose Dilsea - Neodilsea complex and Weeksia (2008, background): “COMMENTS: Setchell (1901) described Weeksia as a new genus of the Dumontiaceae, based on the new species Weeksia reticulata (discussed below) describing ‘‘A genus with the habit of a Callymenia but the cystocarp of the Dumontiaceae as understood by Schmitz.”
