Mays JD. 2002. A systematic approach to sampling the arthropod assemblage of Gregorys Cave, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Western Carolina University
Techniques for quantitatively sampling cave arthropod populations are few, and studies of this nature in GSMNP are non-existent. In this study, a systematic sampling approach with standardized, repeatable methods was used to estimate population sizes and spatial distributions for nine arthropod taxa found in Gregorys Cave, and to compile a comprehensive species list.
