Testing the performance of beta diversity measures based on incidence data: the robustness to undersampling (2009, methodology): “At each site, eight transects of 150 · 5 m were scattered in the forest to quantify arthropod diversity (see Borges et al., 2005, 2006; Ribeiro et al., 2005; Cardoso et al., 2007 for details).”
Diversity and distribution of arthropods in native forests of the Azores archipelago (2008, background): “Yet, errors may be considerably reduced if some precautions are taken, namely: (1) some previous training is given to the parataxonomists (Oliver & Beattie 1994; Derraik et al. 2002), (2) the same parataxonomists are used throughout the process, (3) some tools to assist parataxonomists are available”
Time, area and isolation: factors driving the diversification of Azorean arthropods (2009, unknown): “Forest diversity (i.e. the number of different types of natural forests; see Ribeiro et al., 2005; Borges et al., 2006) covaries also with maximum altitude (the highest islands also host more types of forests; see Heaney et al., 2005).”
Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species (2006, methodology): “In an isolated and recent volcanic oceanic island, such as that studied here, the endemic fauna is poor and disharmonic (Borges & Brown, 1999; Ribeiro et al., 2005).”
