The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Seasonality of spiders (Araneae) in Mediterranean ecosystems and its implications in the optimum sampling period (2007, background): “Therefore, standardisation and calibration of sampling methods and protocols are fundamental for the comparison of sites or the definition of priority areas for conservation ( Stork, 1994; Cannon, 1997; Jones & Eggleton, 2000; Kitching et al. , 2001 ).”
Terrestrial invertebrate surveys and rapid biodiversity assessment in New Zealand: lessons from Australia (2004, background): “Second, sampling methods do not collect all species equally (New, 1998a; Kitching et al., 2001; Ward et al., 2002).”
Assessing spider species richness and composition in Mediterranean cork oak forests (2008, background): “Standardization and calibration of sampling methods and protocols are fundamental issues for the comparison of sites and the definition of priority areas for conservation (Stork, 1994; Cannon, 1997; Jones and Eggleton, 2000; Kitching et al., 2001; Pereira and Cooper, 2006).”
Discriminatory power of different arthropod data sets for the biological monitoring of anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests (2004, methodology): “The collecting methods were selected because they are simple, inexpensive, and behave more or less consistently across sites with respect to the profile of arthropods collected (Kitching et al. 2001).”
