Ambiguous taxa: effects on the characterization and interpretation of invertebrate assemblages (2007, methodology): “These studies were conducted by using a common study design (Coles et al. 2004, Cuffney et al. 2005, Tate et al. 2005) and common sampling (Cuffney et al. 1993 for BIR, BOS, SLC, Moulton et al. 2002 for RAL) and processing protocols (Moulton et al. 2000).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “…Metzeling and Miller 2001; Gayraud et al. 2003; Schmidt-Kloiber and Nijboer 2004; Marshall et al. 2006), and they require more specialized knowledge, techniques (Hilsenhoff 1977; Kaesler et al. 1978; Furse et al. 1984; Growns and Growns 1997; Moulton et al. 2000), and equipment (e.g., microscopes).”
Biological assessments of Appalachian streams based on predictive models for fish, macroinvertebrate, and diatom assemblages (2008, methodology): “Sample processing followed methods described in Moulton et al. (2000) and included removal of large organisms followed by a 300-organism fixedcount subsampling procedure.”
