... Characterization of the whole population based on sample groups will always have a representation error, which will change with growth of the sample group size. At a certain point it will be negligible and with further sampling beyond that point the error remains practically unchanged...

... The arthropod fauna of a Low Microphyll Vine Forest was sampled in January 1995 at Boyne Island, central Queensland. These dry rainforests resemble rainforests in having a relatively closed canopy and a high plant species diversity. They differ in that they have greater exposure to seasonal...

... of quality control, and not as a substitute for audit, compliance, survey or research. The most desirable attributes of a monitoring system were identified as simplicity, integrated sampling, efficient sampling, reliability, feasibility, credibility and affordability. It is recognized that it is not possible...

... Wetland classification and assessment of conservation significance are based on criteria that generally exclude one of the largest components of biodiversity in lentic systems: the invertebrates. Preliminary data are presented on sampling efficiency and methods required to describe invertebrate...
