A sample might be selected from a population in many ways. One is the stratified random sampling method. Stratified random sampling involves dividing the entire population into homogeneous groups ...

Abundance varies naturally and is further influenced by differences in sampling technique and effort. Richness differences can result from differences in the number of organisms sampled (Figure 2).

Researchers have developed a machine-learning workflow to optimize the output force of photo-actuated organic crystals. Using ...

place it at the sampling points and then you can count the number of organisms of one species or the number of different species. Whatever the method, respect the species you're studying by ...

In an article published by Policy@Manchester, Stephanie Gillibrand, Caroline Sanders, Emma Crosbie and Jennifer Davies argue that a national rollout of self-sampling methods including a novel ...

A team of researchers have developed a novel method that can quickly and automatically detect and monitor microbial ...

The key? Scaling up sampling-based search, a technique that relies on generating multiple responses and using the model itself to verify them. The core finding is that even a minimalist ...

If you are using the wrong kind of sampling method for your experiment, this can lead to biased results. Sampling of the area you are studying must be random. It must show no bias – for instance ...

At-home self-sampling cervical screening looks likely to be an option in the future. But scientists warn that steps must be ...

It's a clever twist on traditional gold standard methods, such as grab sampling, which gives a limited snapshot of soil quality. Lead author Dr. Lamiya Bata, a former Ph.D. candidate at the Monash ...
