• Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “, fewer taxa) and fewer zero-values than are contained in specieslevel datasets (Norris and Georges 1993; Vanderklift et al. 1996; Cao et al. 2001; Anderson et al. 2005); (2) taxonomic detail constrains the analytical options available to a researcher; and (3) the effects of taxonomic resolution may”
• Identifying North American freshwater invertebrates using DNA barcodes: are existing COI sequence libraries fit for purpose? (2018, background): “Relatively uncommon taxa often are downweighted in biomonitoring studies because their occurrence is difficult to predict in most monitoring and reference-condition models (Cao et al. 2001, Reynoldson et al. 2001).”
• Do rare species have any place in multivariate analysis for bioassessment? (2002, background): “The organization of macroinvertebrate communities in the major tributaries of the La Trobe River, Victoria, Australia.”
• Effects of sampling error on bioassessments of stream ecosystems: application to RIVPACS-type models (2004, background): “The use of rare taxa in bioassessments is a continuing source of debate (Cao et al. 1998, 2001, Cao and Williams 1999, Marchant 1999, 2002).”
• Addressing the removal of rare species in multivariate bioassessments: The impact of methodological choices (2012, methodology): “Alternatively how can ne determine whether rare species are more sensitive to ecosysem stress than more common species (i.e., the biological impact rgument; Faith and Norris, 1989; Cao et al., 1999, 2001)?”
• Plant responses to agricultural intensification (2008, background): “This oversight could result in erroneous conclusions about the statistical distribution of responses within and among trait groups, particularly where dominant species differ in their responses to less-frequent species (Cao et al. 2001).”
• CO‐INERTIA ANALYSIS AND THE LINKING OF ECOLOGICAL DATA TABLES (2003, background): “Unequal sampling effort also introduces biases in the analysis (Cao et al. 2001, 2002) because sampling size is closely related to species richness.”
