Viability of invertebrate diapausing eggs collected from residual ballast sediment (2003, unknown): “Eggs were subsequently separated from the remaining sediment using a Ludoxt HS 40 protocol after Burgess (2001). Mean density of invertebrate diapausing eggs was calculated from the four subsamples after enumeration under a dissecting microscope.”
Separation of algae from detritus for stable isotope or ecological stoichiometry studies using density fractionation in colloidal silica (2005, background): “1974; Wolff 1975) and less often to separate algae or invertebrates from sediment (e.g., Schwinghamer et al. 1981; de Jonge 1979; Burgess 2001).”
Salinity tolerance of diapausing eggs of freshwater zooplankton (2004, methodology): “the coarse sediment using the colloidal silica Ludox HS 40 (Burgess, 2001) and counted under a dissecting microscope.”
