• Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “…benthic community to environmental stress tends to reduce richness by removing sensitive or specialist taxa (e.g., Lenat 1993; Chessman et al. 1997; Chessman 2003), Marshall et al. (2006) provided indirect evidence of a richness – taxonomic-sufficiency interaction by reporting that faunal patterns…”
• Bioassessment of streams with macroinvertebrates: effect of sampled habitat and taxonomic resolution (2007, methodology): “For those families with grades assigned for both SIGNAL-SF (this article) and SIGNAL2 (Chessman 2003), the difference in grades averaged 1.8 units.”
• Taxonomic Resolution and Quantification of Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Samples from an Australian Dryland River: The Benefits and Costs of Using Species Abundance Data (2006, background): “The effect of pollution is to remove sensitive taxa while only tolerant taxa remain (e.g. Lenat, 1993; Chessman et al., 1997; Chessman, 2003) and it is likely that the sensitive taxa are akin to the taxa that have undergone adaptive radiation sensu Hawkins & Norris (2000) (i.”
