Seasonality of spiders (Araneae) in Mediterranean ecosystems and its implications in the optimum sampling period (2007, background): “Therefore, standardisation and calibration of sampling methods and protocols are fundamental for the comparison of sites or the definition of priority areas for conservation ( Stork, 1994; Cannon, 1997; Jones & Eggleton, 2000; Kitching et al. , 2001 ).”
The effects of altitude and rainfall on the composition of the termites (Isoptera) of the Leuser Ecosystem (Sumatra, Indonesia) (2001, methodology): “We sampled in September and October 1998 using a standardized transect method (Davies 1997, Jones & Eggleton 2000, Jones et al. 1998).”

Scale dependence of diversity measures in a leaf-litter ant assemblage (2004, background): “To circumvent the difficulty of comparing structured inventories with various spatial designs, an effort towards standardization of sampling protocols has been realized for a variety of taxa such as mammals (Wilson et al. 1996), amphibians (Heyer et al. 1993), termites (Eggleton et al. 1995, Jones ”
