Phylogeography's past, present, and future: 10 years after Avise, 2000. (2010, background): “These can be incorporated into phylogeographic methods of species delimitation and provide operational practicality in the face of real data (Leavitt et al., 2007; Morando et al., 2003; Sites and Marshall, 2004).”
Phylogenetic species delimitation of the earthworms Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) and Eisenia andrei Bouché, 1972 (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences (2005, methodology): “A better understanding of these large-scale processes requires that researchers employ methods to delimit objectively and rigorously which species are in nature (Sites and Marshall, 2003).”
Molecular identification methods of fish species: reassessment and possible applications (2009, background): “The species problem The literature about species concepts might be more extensive than that about any other subject in evolutionary biology and therefore it is obviously out of the scope of the present review to discuss the validity of all these concepts (see e.g., Sites and Marshall 2003).”
Concordant molecular and phenotypic data delineate new taxonomy and conservation priorities for the endangered mountain yellow‐legged frog (2007, background): “In general, the case for delimiting separate species is strongest when results from multiple sets of independent classes of characters are concordant ( Sites & Marshall, 2003 ).”
OPERATIONAL CRITERIA FOR DELIMITING SPECIES (2004, methodology): “Some of these methods were reviewed by Sites & Marshall (2003) and are again covered here but in the context of several versions of the PSC not covered by that review.”
Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “Many of these techniques are of limited utility, however, because they are geared to comparing taxa on the basis of detailed phenotypic (Wiens & Servedio 2000) and genetic datasets (Sites & Marshall 2003, 2004, Knowles & Carstens 2007, Shaffer & Thomson 2007).”
Delimiting Species Using Single-Locus Data and the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent Approach: A Revised Method and Evaluation on Simulated Data Sets (2013, methodology): “…example, reproductive isolation (Coyne and Orr 1998; yet by Knowles and Carstens 2007), ecological divergence (Fontaneto et al. 2007; Leaché et al. 2009), and other traits (Feulner et al. 2007), rather than relying on qualitative taxonomic methods (see discussion by Sites and Marshall 2003).”
DNA-based species delimitation in algae (2014, methodology): “…in algae The idea that species are separately evolving metapopulation lineages, along with theoretical progress in phylogenetic and population genetic analyses, has led to the development of new methods of species delimitation (Sites & Marshall, 2003; Camargo & Sites, 2013; Carstens et al., 2013).”
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. 2002, 2003; Mallet ”
Species Delimitation: A Decade After the Renaissance (2013, positive): “Sites and Marshall [1,13] separated SDL methods into non-tree and tree-based approaches, and included among the former (1) pairwise genetic distances that could be tested for either correlations with reproductive isolation [31,32], morphological distances [33], or geographic distances [34]; (2) gene”
Phylogeographic information systems: putting the geography into phylogeography (2006, methodology): “We hope that this paper will further stimulate the resurgence of geography as an equal partner in the symbiosis that is phylogeography as well as advertise some benefits that can be obtained from the application of GIS practices and technologies.”
Integrative taxonomy, or iterative taxonomy? (2011, methodology): “This is in essence a codification of a standard traditional method for delimiting species based on one or more diagnostic character differences (Sites & Marshall, 2003).”
Standard Percent DNA Sequence Difference for Insects Does Not Predict Species Boundaries (2006, background): “Recognition of species among the monophyletic groups can be subjective (Wiens and Penkrot 2002, Sites and Marshall 2003).”
