The challenge of small and rare species in marine biodiversity surveys: microgastropod diversity in a complex tropical coastal environment (2011, background): “Although deep-sea biologists routinely use mesh sizes of 0.5 mm (Gage et al. 2002), most coral reef studies seem to be content with mesh sizes of 2 mm (e.g., Chardy et al. 1988; Schlacher et al. 1998) or even 4 mm (e.g., Barnes et al. 2009).”
Quantitative Fidelity of Brachiopod-Mollusk Assemblages from Modern Subtidal Environments of San Juan Islands, USA (2003, background): “…(2001b, 2003) who showed that mesh size can severely affect the outcome of fidelity analyses (for further discussion of biological and taphonomic effects of mesh size see also Okamoto & Leite, 1998; Peeters et al., 1999; Kidwell et al., 2001; Hoffmeister & Kowalewski, 2002; Gage et al., 2002).”
Diversity of the arctic deep-sea benthos (2011, background): “Differences in sieve size between studies also added to artificial differences between regions (see Gage et al. 2002 for extensive discussion of sieve size effects on diversity estimates).”
