Taxonomic Impediment or Impediment to Taxonomy? A Commentary on Systematics and the Cybertaxonomic-Automation Paradigm (2007, background): “Godfray’s criticism, echoed in other circles (Tautz et al. 2003; Gaston and O’Neill 2004; Blaxter 2004; Miller 2007), is cast in what he has termed the ‘second bioinformatics crisis’, viz. that the alleged lethargy of modern taxonomy is mostly due to the lack of an adequate cyberstructure to…”
DNA barcoding as a tool for coral reef conservation (2007, background): “Perhaps it is not surprising that a nematode biologist has been a strong proponent of this approach to taxonomy (Blaxter 2004), which has proven its value in surveys of terrestrial meiofauna (Blaxter et al.”
DNA barcoding of a large genus, Aspalathus L. (Fabaceae) (2008, background): “However, if a criterion for the selection of DNA barcoding regions is that sequences are also to be used in phylogeny reconstruction (Seberg & al., 2003; Blaxter, 2004), then difficult to align indel-rich regions might be discounted.”
Females do count: Documenting Chironomidae (Diptera) species diversity using DNA barcoding (2010, background): “An acknowledged advantage of DNA barcoding is the possibility to easily associate different life stages of the same species (Blaxter 2004; Ekrem et al. 2007; Stoeckle 2003).”
DNA barcoding in land plants: evaluation of rbcL in a multigene tiered approach (2006, background): “Barcoding has been equated with ‘‘molecular taxonomy’’ (Blaxter 2004) or the ‘‘DNA taxonomy’’ of Tautz et al.”
DNA barcoding reveals new insights into the diversity of Antarctic species of Orchomene sensu lato (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Lysianassoidea) (2011, background): “…of the current biodiversity crisis and the declining number of taxonomists, several authors suggest the use of DNA barcoding to accelerate and simplify species identification (Hebert et al., 2003a,b; Blaxter, 2004; Janzen et al., 2005; Schander and Willassen, 2005; Schindel and Miller, 2005).”
Accelerated species inventory on Madagascar using coalescent-based models of species delineation. (2009, background): “This is particularly true where samples will be collected in bulk or where there is little or no means to apply morphological or ecological criteria (Blaxter 2004; Forney et al. 2004; Bass et al. 2007).”
Molecular identification methods of fish species: reassessment and possible applications (2009, background): “…concept of species (Mallet and Willmott 2003; Seberg et al. 2003; Will and Rubinoff 2004) and has revived the old controversy in systematics about the relative importance of DNA technology versus morphological traits (Blaxter 2003, 2004; Wheeler et al. 2004; DeSalle et al. 2005; Will et al. 2005).”
Standard Percent DNA Sequence Difference for Insects Does Not Predict Species Boundaries (2006, background): “Application of percent DNA similarity for the identiÞcation of species and other taxa is currently popularized by the scheme to DNA “barcode” all life (Hebert et al. 2003a, Blaxter 2004).”
DNA barcoding using chitons (genus Mopalia) (2007, methodology): “By preserving character state information and reporting diagnostic differences for each node and hence for each species, our DNA barcoding method may be useful to taxonomists in identifying and describing divergent organismal groups (whether putative new species, ESUs, management units, etc.) that c”
Molecular Poltergeists: Mitochondrial DNA Copies (numts) in Sequenced Nuclear Genomes (2010, methodology): “The DNA barcoding technique for animals aims to identify organisms by using a short fragment of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene [86,87].”
Sequence-based species delimitation for the DNA taxonomy of undescribed insects. (2006, methodology): “However, to our knowledge there have been no previous attempts to utilise this information in a quantitative procedure of species delimitation, despite the development of methods for clustering of sequences (Blaxter, 2004) and matching them to predefined taxonomic groups (Steinke et al.”
Plant DNA barcoding: from gene to genome (2015, background): “Despite these limitations, rbcL was still suggested as one of the best potential candidate plant barcodes based on the straightforward recovery of the gene sequence, the large amount of easily accessible data and good, but not outstanding, discriminatory power (Blaxter, 2004; CBOL Plant Working Grou”
Species delimitation and relationships: The dance of the seven veils (2015, background): “…many controversies that DNA barcoding has provoked, it has had the positive effect of reviving the discussion on species concepts, species boundaries, and species discovery (Wheeler & Meier, 2000; Tautz & al., 2002, 2003; Seberg & al., 2003; Blaxter, 2004; Will & Rubinoff, 2004; Rubinoff, 2006).”
