• The distribution and diversity of Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) in western Finnish Lapland, with special emphasis on shallow lakes (2005, background): “…head capsules per sample were 68, 277 and 155, respectively, which exceeds the established criteria for minimum counts of head capsules per sample (50) necessary to provide a representative sample of the chironomid assemblage composition (Heiri & Lotter, 2001; Quinlan & Smol, 2001; Larocque, 2001).”
• Establishing reliable minimum count sizes for cladoceran subfossils sampled from lake sediments (2010, methodology): “blage (Heiri and Lotter 2001; Larocque 2001; Quinlan and Smol 2001; Payne and Mitchell 2009).”
• New Zealand chironomids as proxies for human-induced and natural environmental change: Transfer functions for temperature and lake production (chlorophyll a) (2006, background): “All samples were removed from the dataset if the chironomid head-capsule count was less than 50. Quinlan and Smol (2001) argue that a minimum count of 40‐50 head-capsules is sufficient for use in inference models where diversity is low.”
• The use and application of freshwater midges (Chironomidae: Insecta: Diptera) in geographical research (2003, methodology): “…as indicators of the trophic status of lakes and to assess the nature of lake ontogeny in relation to its nutrient history (Deevey, 1942; Hofmann, 1978; Warwick, 1980; Wiederholm, 1980; Walker et al., 1993; Lang and Lods-Crozet, 1997; Little and Smol, 2000, 2001; Quinlan and Smol, 2001).”
