Different approaches to deal with extreme observations such as outlier labeling, accommodation, and identification are summarized, using calculation and visualization methods, and a conceptual workflow as a general overview for data analysis is provided.
Diversity of predaceous arthropods in the almond tree canopy in Northeastern Portugal: A methodological approach
- J. Benhadi‐Marín, J. Pereira, J. Barrientos, A. Bento, S. Santos
- Environmental Science
- 1 July 2011
This work established a suitable sampling protocol for arthropods of the almond tree canopy to study the diversity of predaceous arthropod populations and generated accurate replicate samples to estimate species richness when the effect of agricultural management is studied.
Farmland biodiversity and agricultural management on 237 farms in 13 European and two African regions.

Araneae communities associated with the canopies of chestnut trees in the northeastern part of Portugal: The influence of soil management practices
- J. Benhadi‐Marín, J. Pereira, J. Barrientos, A. Bento, S. Santos
- Environmental Science
- 2013
It is shown that soil management may influence the diversity of spiders, but the effects were weak and not consistent between years, and tillage is not recommended for managing the incidence of pests in chestnut groves.
