Journal ArticleDOI

DNA Barcoding: Error Rates Based on Comprehensive Sampling

TL;DR: This is the first examination of barcoding performance in a comprehensively sampled, diverse group (cypraeid marine gastropods, or cowries) and employs a novel phylogenetic approach to calculate intraspecific variation and interspecific divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI

The magnitude of global marine species diversity

Ward Appeltans, +125 more
- 04 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The first register of the marine species of the world is compiled and it is estimated that between one-third and two-thirds of marine species may be undescribed, and previous estimates of there being well over one million marine species appear highly unlikely.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conventional taxonomy obscures deep divergence between Pacific and Atlantic corals

TL;DR: Although Pacific reefs have larger numbers of more narrowly distributed species, and therefore rank higher in biodiversity hotspot analyses, the deep evolutionary distinctiveness of many Atlantic corals should also be considered when setting conservation priorities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine scale endemism on coral reefs: archipelagic differentiation in turbinid gastropods

TL;DR: It is shown that the gastropod Astralium “rhodostomum” has developed endemic clades on almost every Pacific archipelago sampled, a pattern unprecedented in marine biogeography, and reminiscent of the terrestrial biota of oceanic islands, implying that marine speciation can regularly occur over much finer spatial scales.
