Beta diversity and taxonomic sufficiency: Do higher‐level taxa reflect heterogeneity in species composition? (2009, methodology): “…of studies that suggest using higher-level taxa (e.g. genera or families) yields an affordable approach for depicting changes in the structure of assemblages (e.g. Olsgard & Somerfield, 2000; W l odarska-Kowalczuk & K # dra, 2007, see Terlizzi et al ., 2003 and Dauvin et al ., 2003, for reviews).”
Relationships between taxonomic resolution and spatial scales of multivariate variation (2005, background): “1998; Olsgard & Somerfield 2000; Stark et al .”
Quantifying effects of pollution on biodiversity: a case study of highly diverse molluscan assemblages in the Mediterranean (2005, background): “…based on coarse levels of resolution with those based on species-level analyses to quantitatively describe patterns of changes in assemblages under disturbance regimes must be demonstrated before coarse taxonomic resolution can be proposed for routine monitoring (Olsgard and Somerfield 2000).”
Surrogacy in natural patterns of benthic distribution and diversity: selected taxa versus lower taxonomic resolution (2007, background): “Other benthic researchers postulated treating the patterns observed for a selected taxonomic group as a proxy of patterns of the whole benthic community (Olsgard & Somerfield 2000, Olsgard et al. 2003).”
On resemblance measures for ecological studies, including taxonomic dissimilarities and a zero-adjusted Bray–Curtis coefficient for denuded assemblages (2006, methodology): “This has since been used effectively (e.g. Kendall and Widdicombe, 1999; Olsgard et al., 1997, 1998; Olsgard and Somerfield, 2000) to understand the consequences for the resulting ordinations of changing the prior transformation applied to the raw data matrix, and/or identifying the taxa to coarser ”
Soft-sediment benthic biodiversity on the continental shelf in relation to environmental variability (2002, background): “Olsgard & Somerfield (2000) found that faunal patterns of polychaetes had stronger relationships to environmental variables than those of the other dominant taxonomic groups.”
Rapid assessment of invertebrate biodiversity on rocky shores: where there’s a whelk there’s a way (2005, result): “…and Cassola 1992; Oliver et al. 1997; Blair 1999; Ricketts et al. 2002), only recently have there been equivalent studies in marine systems (Vanderklift et al. 1998; Ward et al. 1999; Olsgard and Somerfield 2000; O’Hara 2001; Banks and Skilleter 2002; Gladstone 2002; Warwick and Light 2002).”
Polychaetes as surrogates for marine biodiversity: lower taxonomic resolution and indicator groups (2003, background): “For marine habitats the use of lower taxonomic resolution has also been promising in environmental monitoring and impact studies (Warwick 1988; Gray et al. 1990; Beattie and Oliver 1994; Somerfield and Clarke 1995; Olsgard et al. 1997, 1998; Olsgard and Somerfield 2000) Before general recommendation”
