Declines in forage availability for bumblebees at a national scale (2006, methodology): “A weighted linear regression model was fitted to the relationship between these counts, and the standardised residual for each species taken to represent an index of its change in range size relative to the trend across all species (Telfer et al., 2002).”
Life-history strategies predict fish invasions and extirpations in the colorado river basin (2006, background): “Records include incidence, identity, and collection information for the complete holdings of major regional museum collections, numerous smaller holdings, and records from peer-reviewed and gray literature sources, and they are georeferenced to within 1 km of their collection site in a Geographic In”
Does the heathland flora in north-western Belgium show an extinction debt? (2006, methodology): “A more detailed trend analysis was performed by fitting a linear regression between the historic abundance categories (Cre´pin, 1860) and the present number of 4 km · 4 km squares occupied (McCollin et al., 2000; Telfer et al., 2002; Van der Veken et al., 2004).”
Butterfly monitoring in Europe: methods, applications and perspectives (2008, background): “Reliable estimates of trends can only be based on long series of distributional data, because only then correction for sampling effort is possible (Van Swaay 1990, Maes and Van Swaay 1997; Telfer et al 2002), but even then the results should be treated with caution.”
Bias and information in biological records (2015, background): “As recording intensity increases, the number of grid cells that appear to be occupied is likely to increase, even for species with stable distributions (Telfer et al., 2002).”
Ecological Predictors of Extinction Risk in the Flora of Lowland England, UK (2006, background): “Although these findings contain an element of circularity, as nationally rare species are also likely to be rare in counties such as Bedfordshire andNorthamptonshire, it does highlight the significant losses of rare species at the local scale in lowland England.”
The state of the Dutch larger moth fauna (2011, background): “Some volunteers that provide us with data do collect on an almost daily basis, but most data are the results of random excursions, holidays and so on. The calculated trends, therefore, may suffer from differences in the geographical coverage (cf Telfer et al. 2002 ).”
