• Cross-scale Structure and Scale Breaks in Ecosystems and Other Complex Systems (2002, background): “The first ( Holling and Allen 2002 ) outlines the difficulties, and suggests a remedy, in analyzing seemingly intractable ecological data where causes are multiple, scales of influence many, and experimental manipulation impossible.”
• Departures from Gibrat's Law, Discontinuities and City Size Distributions (2007, background): “Maintaining constant power rather than constant alpha levels (i.e. keeping type II error rates constant, rather than type I error rates) is a more robust approach when the focus is the detection and comparison of pattern among datasets with greatly varying n (Holling and Allen, 2002).”
• As clear as mud: A critical review of evidence for the ecological roles of Australian dingoes (2013, background): “With ‘the cycle of adaptive inference’ in mind (sensu Holling and Allen, 2002), reflection on the type of data available (Table 2) indicate that there are now sufficient observational studies and correlative tests of the dingo–mesopredator patterns observed to warrant the mandatory consideration of…”
