Spatial scale and the diversity of macroinvertebrates in a Neotropical catchment (2010, background): “have reported large differences among riffles and among stream reaches within stream segments (Downes et al., 2000; Heino et al., 2004, 2005).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “, Bowman and Bailey 1997): At worst, they are ill-suited to handling datasets in which zero-values are prevalent (Downes et al. 2000; Landis 2003), and at best, ‘‘methods for managing large numbers of rare species .”
Beta diversity in stream macroinvertebrate assemblages: among-site and among-microhabitat components (2008, result): “For instance, Downes et al. (2000) found that variation among stream sites in the same river was considerably higher than that observed among rivers.”
The responses of small mammals to patches regenerating after fire and rainfall in the Simpson Desert, central Australia (2005, background): “Spatially replicated studies, such as this one, have the advantage of leading to predictive models of the effects of ecological processes and allow inferences to be made on the factors that cause between-site variations ( Downes et al. 2000; Thrush et al. 2000).”
