Removal of natural populations of marine plankton by a large-scale ballast water treatment system (2003, methodology): “This method has been used in numerous studies conducted previously by Smith & Lane (e.g. Smith et al. 1985, Smith & Lane 1988, Flagg & Smith 1989, Ashjian et al. 1995, 1997) and conforms in general to other recently published zooplankton sample enumeration guidelines (Postel et al. 2000).”
Direct and indirect trophic interactions of Aurelia sp. (Scyphozoa) in a stratified marine environment (Mljet Lakes, Adriatic Sea) (2007, methodology): “Formaldehyde-fixed samples of microzooplankton and mesozooplankton were analysed according to standard procedures (Postel et al. 2000).”
Distinctions in the diets and distributions of larval tunas and the important role of appendicularians (2010, methodology): “This subsampling method has error levels similar to using a Folsom splitter (7–9% coefficient of variation vs. 5–18%, respectively [Postel et al. 2000]).”
A global assessment of mesozooplankton respiration in the ocean (2004, background): “2 (Postel et al., 2000), then to carbon as mentioned above.”
Biogeochemical fluxes through mesozooplankton (2006, neutral): “This set of conversion factors was used in preference over newer ones because it was based on 330 µm mesh nets, and because it provides a set of conversion factors that is consistent between the different measures of mesozooplankton concentration present (see also Postel, 2000).”
Changes in biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes and macrobenthos in the Southern Caspian Sea after the invasion of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis Leidyi (2010, background): “At least 100–150 individuals were counted per sample (Postel et al. 2000).”
Zooplankton in the eastern tropical north Pacific: Boundary effects of oxygen minimum zone expansion (2013, neutral): “Biomass processing generally followed protocols from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) and Zooplankton Methodology Manual (Wishner et al., 1998; Postel et al., 2000).”
Evidence for density-dependent changes in body condition and pregnancy rate of North Atlantic fin whales over four decades of varying environmental conditions (2013, methodology): “For the present analysis, we used dry weight values derived from these samples (Matthews and Heimdal, 1980; Postel et al., 2000), standardized per cubic metre of water filtered.”
Zooplankton biomass estimation from digitized images: a comparison between subtropical and Antarctic organisms (2009, methodology): “Analytical measurement of biomass using standard methods (see Postel et al. 2000) requires the destruction of the sample (dry weight, ash-free dry weight, elemental analysis of carbon, nitrogen, etc.).”
Modeling What We Sample and Sampling What We Model: Challenges for Zooplankton Model Assessment (2017, methodology): “Table B1 briefly outlines the different units used to measure zooplankton biomass; for detailed information on the various methods see Postel et al. (2000).”
