How you count counts: the importance of methods research in applied ecology (2008, background): “…have addressed diverse issues, ranging from new sampling technologies (Parker, Harding & Berger 2004), to the consequences of sampling scale for ecological interpretations (Hill & Hamer 2004), to the unanticipated consequences of marking techniques (McCarthy & Parris 2004), among many others.”
Fidelity and dispersal in the pond-breeding amphibian, Ambystoma opacum: Implications for spatio-temporal population dynamics and conservation (2007, methodology): “Given the number of productive ponds and our desire to minimize the potential impacts of the marking method (e.g., see McCarthy and Parris, 2004), it was not feasible to administer a year- or individual-specific mark to juveniles.”
The BUGS project: Evolution, critique and future directions (2009, background): “Numerous applications of the software can be found in the literature, in a wide array of application areas, including disease mapping [4], pharmacometrics [5], ecology [6], health-economics [7], genetics [8], archaeology [9], psychometrics [10], coastal engineering [11], educational performance [12]”
Ecological Models and Data in R (2008, background): “It has already begun to appear in ecological journals (Jonsen et al., 2003; Morales et al., 2004; McCarthy and Parris, 2004; Okuyama and Bolker, 2005; Parris, 2006; Vesk, 2006), but statisticians continue to debate its exact meaning and appropriateness (both Spiegelhalter et al.”
Multi‐scale features for identifying individuals in large biological databases: an application of pattern recognition technology to the marbled salamander Ambystoma opacum (2007, methodology): “These methods are intrusive to varying degrees and in some cases may affect the fate and/or behaviour of the animals being studied (e.g. Powell & Proulx 2003; McCarthy & Parris 2004).”
Sex, isolation and fidelity: unbiased long-distance dispersal in a terrestrial amphibian (2006, background): “…clipping can potentially reduce the survivorship of individuals and therefore the recapture rate (Clarke 1972, Parris and McCarthy 2001, May 2004, McCarthy and Parris 2004, Funk et al. 2005), we observed no reduction in recapture rate between individuals with an increasing number of clipped toes…”
