• Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, result): “Finally, differences in sampling techniques can produce contrasting results (Pearman et al., 1995; Doan, 2003), as different methods are associated with different detection biases for different species (Heyer et al., 1994; and see Schmidt, 2003).”
• Evaluating the Effectiveness of Herpetofaunal Sampling Techniques across a Gradient of Habitat Change in a Tropical Forest Landscape (2008, methodology): “…sampling methodologies have focused either on comparing visual encounter techniques (quadrates, transects, plots; e.g., Pearman et al., 1995; Doan, 2003), or comparing between different passive trapping techniques (e.g., Bury and Corn, 1987; Greenberg et al., 1994; Enge, 2001), with very…”
• Topographic and edaphic effects on the distribution of terrestrially reproducing anurans in Central Amazonia: mesoscale spatial patterns (2007, methodology): “These methods are complementary and adequate to survey distribution and abundance of anurans in longand short-term studies (Doan 2003).”
• MEASURING AND MONITORING AMPHIBIAN DIVERSITY IN TROPICAL FORESTS. I. AN EVALUATION OF METHODS WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STANDARDIZATION (2004, methodology): “Although the combination of AES and VES provided an adequate approximation to real conditions (see also Doan 2003), this only holds true if species numbers alone are considered.”
• Conservation Biology of Caecilian Amphibians (2005, background): “For example, workers in one study involving more than 6000 person-hours of above-soil quadrat, transect, and visual encounter surveys in Peruvian rainforest (Doan 2003) found only one caecilian, a Caecilia sp., and it was under attack from ants (T.M. Doan, personal communication).”
