• Relationships between environmental characteristics and macroinvertebrate communities in seasonal woodland ponds of Minnesota (2004, background): “The value of species or genus vs family classification recently has been debated for streams (Bailey et al. 2001, Lenat and Resh 2001) and, in wetlands, taxonomic resolution at the family level or higher may mask significant relationships (King and Richardson 2002).”
• The effect of taxonomic resolution on the assessment of ecological water quality classes (2004, background): “Studies concentrating on this issue showed that higher taxonomic levels increase the possibility of ‘misevaluating’ sampling sites (Hawkins et al., 2000; Lenat & Resh 2001; King & Richardson, 2002).”
• Bioassessment of streams with macroinvertebrates: effect of sampled habitat and taxonomic resolution (2007, methodology): “A tiered approach was suggested by Bailey et al. (2001) and tested by King and Richardson (2002), who found little difference between wetland bioassessment with all taxa taken to species/genus level and assessment with species-level data for Chironomidae tiered with family-level data for other taxa.”
• Patterns of composition and species richness of crustaceans and aquatic insects along environmental gradients in Mediterranean water bodies (2008, background): “…included in these studies such as predation pressure (e.g. Wellborn et al., 1996), connectivity (e.g., Cottenie et al., 2003), pond size (e.g. Oertli et al., 2002), pond age (e.g. Fairchild et al., 2000), sampling and sample processing (e.g., Turner & Trexler, 1997; King & Richardson, 2002), etc.”
• Microhabitat and landscape influences on aquatic beetle assemblages in a cluster of temporary and permanent ponds (2003, background): “…have long been used as bioindicators of water quality in streams (e.g., Rosenberg and Resh 1993), and recent studies have proposed the use of invertebrate-based metrics to evaluate water quality in ponds (Adamus 1996, Burton et al. 1999, Gernes and Helgen 1999, King and Richardson 2002).”
• Effects of sampling and sub-sampling variation using the STAR-AQEM sampling protocol on the precision of macroinvertebrate metrics (2006, background): “However, all extra identification increases costs and the aim is use the most costeffective sub-sample size and effort (Barbour & Gerritsen, 1996; King & Richardson, 2002).”
• Synthesising the trait information of European Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera): Towards a new database (2016, background): “…we defend the hypothesis that Chironomidae could be appropriate indicators of environmental conditions, as the same taxonomic group includes tolerant (e.g. Chironomus) and sensitive (e.g. Diamesa spp.) taxa to human impacts (Armitage et al., 1995; King and Richardson, 2002; Lencioni et al., 2012).”
• The use and application of freshwater midges (Chironomidae: Insecta: Diptera) in geographical research (2003, background): “Suggestions of the appropriate taxonomic resolution to use in studies that are interested in identifying community-level changes have been presented by a number of authors (King and Richardson, 2002).”
• Adult Odonata conservatism as an indicator of freshwater wetland condition (2014, methodology): “We collected IRAM data according to Kutcher (2011) at each of the 51 study ites.”
• Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, methodology): “…sufficiency as a compromise between the scientific ideal and political, financial, and logistic realities (e.g., Warwick 1993; Bowman and Bailey 1997; Bauernfeind and Moog 2000; Moog and Chovanec 2000; Stubauer and Moog 2000; Carter and Resh 2001; King and Richardson 2002; Marshall et al. 2006).”
• FAUNA OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK LAKES HAS LOW RESISTANCE BUT HIGH RESILIENCE TO FISH INTRODUCTIONS (2005, methodology): “For example, based on data from wetlands, King and Richardson (2002) concluded that subsample precision was relatively high and constant for subsamples with .200 individuals.”
• Sampling effort affects multivariate comparisons of stream assemblages (2002, background): “This general argument is supported by King and Richardson (2002).”
• Influence of cattle grazing and pasture land use on macroinvertebrate communities in freshwater wetlands (2003, methodology): “King and Richardson (2002) presented compelling evidence on the utility of species-level Chironomidae data for bioassessment in wetlands.”
