Nutritional evaluation of cookies produced from pigeon pea, cocoyam and sorghum flour blends (2011, background): “, 2003a; Fre ́zal and Leblois, 2008), but the second does not attempt to employ molecular data in line with what are traditionally considered “species” (Blaxter, 2003, 2004; Blaxter and Floyd, 2003; Floyd et al., 2002).”
DNA barcoding and taxonomy in Diptera: a tale of high intraspecific variability and low identification success. (2006, methodology): “However, these approaches using "molecular operational taxonomic units" (Blaxter, 2003; Blaxter and Floyd, 2003; Floyd et al., 2002) generally use pairwise distances for clustering sequences by similarity, although the choice of threshold value for distinguishing intra-from interspecific distances…”
The power and promise of population genomics: from genotyping to genome typing (2003, methodology): “Quick and inexpensive genome typing could greatly speed up the inventory and identification of tax”
Multi-rate Poisson tree processes for single-locus species delimitation under maximum likelihood and Markov chain Monte Carlo (2016, background): “…caused mixed reactions within the scientific community, from those highly enthusiastic about its potential to accelerate biodiversity cataloging (Blaxter, 2003; Blaxter and Floyd, 2003) to those very critical about its role in shaping modern systematics (Bauer et al. , 2010; Will et al. , 2005).”
Integrative taxonomy in two free-living nematode species complexes (2008, background): “The discovery of cryptic species, i.e. genetically divergent but morphologically identical species (Avise & Walker, 1999), has polarized taxonomy between ‘classical’ and molecular biologists (Blaxter & Floyd, 2003; Sites & Marshall, 2003; Tautz et al., 2003).”
The promise of a DNA taxonomy. (2004, unknown): “Therefore, in conclusion, the idea of molecular barcoding for taxonomic purposes is already a reality (Blaxter 2003; Blaxter & Floyd 2003).”
DNA barcoding in land plants: evaluation of rbcL in a multigene tiered approach (2006, background): “…the need to catalogue and describe life is greater than ever, and there is a growing realization that it will be critical to seek technological assistance for a species’ initial recognition and its subsequent identification (Godfray 2002; Blaxter and Floyd 2003; Godfray and Knapp 2004).”
The unholy trinity: taxonomy, species delimitation and DNA barcoding (2005, background): “…perspective (Agosti 2003; Dunn 2003; Lipscomb et al. 2003; Proudlove & Wood 2003; Seberg et al. 2003), the molecular perspective (Baker et al. 2003; Blaxter & Floyd 2003; Ronquist & Gardenfors 2003; Tautz et al. 2003) and commentaries sympathetic to both (Mallet & Willmott 2003; Wilson 2003).”
Accelerated species inventory on Madagascar using coalescent-based models of species delineation. (2009, background): “DNA-based procedures may overcome some of these problems by providing a readily assessed character system (Blaxter and Floyd 2003; Tautz et al. 2003; DeSalle et al. 2005).”
Defining operational taxonomic units using DNA barcode data (2005, methodology): “By comparing the barcode sequence with a database of sequences from specimens identified to Linnaean taxa before sequencing, the anonymous survey specimens can be placed within the known taxonomic framework, and the organismal biology of the organisms from which they derived inferred (Floyd et al. 2”
Comment on "Identifying spiders through DNA barcodes" (2005, background): “Despite opinions to the contrary (Wiens and Penkrot 2002; Blaxter 2003, 2004; Blaxter and Floyd 2003; Hebert et al. 2003a, 2003b, 2004a), DNA sequences used in isolation are widely considered inadequate for species delimitation, at least in eukaryotes (Ferguson 2002; Tautz et al.”
