I was recently notified of this: our article ‘DNA barcodes for 1/1000 of the Animal Kingdom‘ is one of the top ten most cited Biology Letters articles for 2010. Here’s one good paper that cited it, a recent PLoS ONE paper by Axel Hausmann and colleagues.
Another chapter from my thesis came out in PLoS ONE recently. It’s a brief study that compiles and assesses a nearly complete barcode library for the geometrids of BC (for a great overview of this family in BC, see p75 of Scudder and Cannings 2007). If you’re curious, the only species on our checklist that we didn’t successfully barcode was Hydrelia brunneifasciata (Packard)). Grab the open-access article here or from my ‘publications’ page, and the reference is as follows:
deWaard, J.R., Hebert, P.D.N., and Humble, L.M. (2011). A comprehensive DNA barcode library for the looper moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) of British Columbia, Canada. PLoS ONE 6: e18290.
Not long after the milestone of 1 million barcodes was reached in time for the official launch of the International Barcode of Life Project, our original barcoding paper has now reached 1000 citations according to ISI Web of Knowledge.
