• Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “Many other authors have commented on the widespread (and growing) use of rapid bioassessment methods (e.g., Schmidt-Kloiber and Nijboer 2004; Melo 2005), which typically involve qualitative or semiquantitative sampling, subsampling to obtain fixed-count samples, and coarse taxonomy (e.”
• Rapid Bioassessment Protocols using benthic macroinvertebrates in Brazil: evaluation of taxonomic sufficiency (2010, result): “Another study in a small basin in southeast Brazil found similar results (Melo 2005).”
• Spatial scale and the diversity of macroinvertebrates in a Neotropical catchment (2010, methodology): “Family level was used since previous studies, including one from the same region (Melo, 2005), have shown that ecological patterns detected using species or morphospecies are also revealed using data for genus or family (Marchant, 1990; Downes, Hindell & Bond, 2000; Boyero & Bailey, 2001).”
• How far can we go in simplifying biomonitoring assessments? An integrated analysis of taxonomic surrogacy, taxonomic sufficiency and numerical resolution in a megadiverse region (2012, methodology): “Some previous studies have evaluated the use of surrogate groups (e.g., Banks-Leite et al., 2011; Rooney and Bayley, 2012), and the effect of taxonomic (e.g., Greffard et al., 2011; Rimet and Bouchez, 2012) and numerical resolution (e.g., Melo, 2005; Carneiro et al., 2010).”
