Are plant DNA barcodes a search for the Holy Grail?Daniel Rubinoff
Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA
Trends Ecol Evol 21:1-2. 2006..Kress et al. suggest the use of multiple genes, reflecting an integrated approach that is likely to be the best answer to identifying species quickly and accurately...
Between two extremes: mitochondrial DNA is neither the panacea nor the nemesis of phylogenetic and taxonomic inferenceDaniel Rubinoff

Web-spinning caterpillar stalks snailsDaniel Rubinoff
310 Gilmore Hall, Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences, 3050 Maile Way, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA
Science 309:575. 2005..Considering the canalization of caterpillar diets, evolution to attack and feed on snails is an anomaly. Hawaii s isolation and consequently disharmonic biota likely promote evolutionary experiments that occur nowhere else...

Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:5903-6. 2010..The uniqueness of the community assemblages of Hawaii's isolated biota is likely critical in generating such evolutionary novelty because this amphibious ecology is unknown anywhere else...

Department of Plant and Environmental Protection Sciences, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America
PLoS ONE 8:e51885. 2013..Although few range shifts have been previously demonstrated in insects, such contractions caused by pressure from introduced species may be important factors in insect extinctions...
