Multiscale performance of landscape metrics as indicators of species richness of plants, insects and vertebrates (2013, methodology): “012 our study was an exploratory screening of the pattern of indicator values of the landscape metrics, we refrained from correcting the family-wise Type I error rate (Roback and Askins, 2005).”
The use of ants and other soil and litter arthropods as bio-indicators of the impacts of rainforest clearing and subsequent land use (2007, unknown): “This is because avoidance of Type II error was important for the purpose of this study, designed to screen for taxa which responded to habitat change ( Roback and Askins 2005, see also Moran 2003).”
Assessing community-based conservation projects: A systematic review and multilevel analysis of attitudinal, behavioral, ecological, and economic outcomes (2013, methodology): “Multiple testing was controlled for by adjusting significance levels for our (29 predictors * 4 outcomes) 116 significance tests using q values [86,87] to obtain approximate control of the False Discovery Rate (FDR).”
Effects of Habitat Conversion on Temporal Activity Patterns of Phyllostomid Bats in Lowland Amazonian Rain Forest (2009, methodology): “Nonetheless, for exploratory analyses such as those conducted here, corrections for multiple tests are not recommended (Roback and Askins 2005).”
The trophic role of a forest salamander: impacts on invertebrates, leaf litter retention, and the humification process (2014, methodology): “Because we applied the GLM once to each independent invertebrate group in each year in an exploratory (not confirmatory) analysis, we considered adjustments for multiple comparisons unnecessary and inappropriate (Roback and Askins 2005, Waite and Campbell 2006).”
Habitat engineering under dry conditions: The impact of pikas (Ochotona pallasi) on vegetation and site conditions in southern Mongolian steppes (2007, background): “Significances refer to uncorrected type 1 errors because our study had an exploratory character (Roback & Askins 2005).”
