• Building capacity in biodiversity monitoring at the global scale (2017, background): “Thus, paraecologists and parataxonomists are more technically trained than citizen scientists (Basset et al. 2004).”
• Setting up tropical biodiversity for conservation through non-damaging use: participation by parataxonomists (2004, methodology): “This essay was inspired by the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Janzen 2002a) and its positive effect on the US National Park Service, by the ongoing use of parataxonomists for biodiversity inventory in Papua New Guinea ( Basset et al . 2000, 2004 ),”
• Conservation and the botanist effect (2011, unknown): “In this respect, botanists with an intermediate level of training can make extremely useful contributions by increasing data volumes and mitigating geographic biases (Abadie et al., 2008; Basset et al., 2004; Hopkins and Freckleton, 2002).”
• Elevational species richness gradients in a hyperdiverse insect taxon: a global meta-study on geometrid moths (2017, methodology): “treatments, making it necessary to rely on approximate, parataxonomic morphospecies sorting (groupings based on morphological differences within a dataset; Basset et al., 2004).”
• The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “Especially in the tropics, parataxonomists with training that allows them to recognize and sort morphospecies are often used with success (Basset et al., 2004; Janzen, 2004; Pearson et al., 2011).”
• How Many Species of Gall-Inducing Insects Are There on Earth, and Where Are They? (2009, background): “…and funded projects involving insect inventories usually only cover those groups of popular appeal (butterßies) (Kremen et al. 1993, Brown 1997, Basset et al. 2004, Lewinsohn et al. 2005) or of eco- nomic/health importance (mainly pollinators or pests of cultivated plants and their natural…”
