• Responses of invertebrate trophic level, feeding guild and body size to the management of improved grassland field margins (2009, unknown): “quantitative collection of grassland invertebrates (Brook et al. 2008).”
• How you count counts: the importance of methods research in applied ecology (2008, methodology): “Brook et al. (2008) took a similar approach, simulating invertebrate sampling by scattering known quantities of small plastic beads in hay meadows and determining how the recovery rate when using suction sampling varied in response to sward height.”
• The potential of parasitoid Hymenoptera as bioindicators of arthropod diversity in agricultural grasslands (2011, unknown): “arthropods in agricultural grassland vegetation (Brook et al. 2008).”
• Effects of vegetation structure and floristic diversity on detritivore, herbivore and predatory invertebrates within calcareous grasslands (2009, background): “Collecting techniques targeted at sampling invertebrates active on the vegetation (e.g. suction sampling) may be expected to collect a greater number of monophaogus species (Woodcock et al. 2005; Brook et al. 2008).”
