• Accurately Defining the Reference Condition for Summary Biotic Metrics: A Comparison of Four Approaches (2006, methodology): “…to more accurately estimate the slope of the MSRL by applying simple linear regression models (e.g. Yoder & Rankin, 1995), trendline regression (Belpaire et al., 2000) or quantile regression (Cade & Noon, 2003), and to estimate scoring thresholds (e.g. Liang & Menzel, 1997) also suffer from…”

• Growth and life history traits of introduced pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) in Europe, and the relevance to its potential invasiveness (2007, background): “Roule 1931, Vooren 1972, Belpaire et al. 2000). In conclusion, the initial evaluation of the available data on European pumpkinseed populations, Copp et al. (2002) suggested that the later maturation and slower growth of a pumpkinseed population in southern England resulted from the combined effects”
