The strong influence of collection bias on biodiversity knowledge shortfalls of Brazilian terrestrial biodiversity (2016, background): “The main sources of biodiversity information are specimens deposited in scientific collections and taxonomic publications (Meyer et al., 2004; Sousa-Baena et al., 2014), from which we can have the distribution of each taxa based on the localities where they were collected.”
Biodiversity inventory and informatics in Southeast Asia (2010, methodology): “Using the latter approach, Dolphin and Quicke (2001) predicted an increase of 100% to 200% in species numbers for Braconidae wasps, and Meier and Dikow (2004) predicted a 36‐41% increase for Euscelidia flies.”
Using taxonomic revision data to estimate the geographic and taxonomic distribution of undescribed species richness in the Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) (2009, methodology): “…(doubletons) to estimate ‘uncollected’ species richness using the Chao-1 estimator in a manner analogous to its use in ecological studies (Magurran, 2004), and as also applied by Meier and Dikow (2004) to estimate global species diversity in the robber fly genus Euscelidia (Asilidae, Diptera).”
DNA barcoding and taxonomy in Diptera: a tale of high intraspecific variability and low identification success. (2006, background): “…be generated based on museum specimens and existing tissues in cryo-collections, although the former contain many misidentified specimens (e.g., Meier and Dikow, 2004) and the latter frequently have poor vouchering policies; i.e., DNA barcode databases based on these sources will again be…”
