• Large-scale patterns in diversity and community structure of surface water copepods from the Atlantic Ocean (2002, background): “Due to the net mesh used (200 µm), smaller genera and young copepodite stages were likely to be under-sampled (Gallienne & Robins 2001, Hopcroft et al. 2001), and absolute diversity to be under-estimated.”

• Trophic impact and prey selection by crustacean zooplankton on the microbial communities of an oligotrophic coastal area (NW Mediterranean Sea) (2004, background): “Within copepods, although small copepodites and nauplii are able to feed on ciliates, they are usually undersampled (Calbet et al. 2001b, Gallienne & Robins 2001) and negligently contemplated in budgets (but see Dolan 1991, where Acartia tonsa nauplii can account for up to 200% of the ciliate…”
