The film clips and interview subjects seem to have been selected haphazardly, and are identified only at the end.
Two to three nearby groups, within 1 to 1.5 m distance were selected haphazardly.
Upon reaching the whale sharks, a record was made of the general behavior of the animals (e.g. "feeding" or "not feeding") and then sharks were selected haphazardly for tagging.
Colonies between 15 and 40 cm in diameter were selected haphazardly for tagging from within an area of ∼10 m×400 m in Nelly Bay (Magnetic Island) and ∼10 m×200 m in south-west Pelorus (Pelorus Island).
Fifteen seeds of each species were selected haphazardly and individually labelled.
Late instar juveniles (male and female) were selected haphazardly from the stock population and kept individually in 1 L polypropylene containers (Lida Trading Company, Brisbane, Australia) in order to allow for the tracking of individuals.
Twenty samples of five seeds of each species were selected haphazardly and incubated on water-moistened filter papers in 9-cm-diameter Petri dishes at ambient temperature and light conditions.
To address whether host species of sibling species pairs might share putative mite species, and to have a preliminary account of host species range of those mite "species", DNA extractions from 62 larval mites was performed (from 70 larval water mites selected haphazardly, based principally on host species and site of host collection).
To quantify AChE concentrations, we subsampled 10 individuals from each treatment by haphazardly selecting two individuals from each of the five replicates from Phase 2. We individually homogenized whole tadpoles with 10% octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (triton X-100) in 0.1 m tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane hydrochloride (pH = 7.4) using the Ellman method (1961).
For each site, five haphazardly selected leaves from six randomly selected plants were monitored to evaluate the temporal trend in the chlorophyll content (ChlSPAD) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence transient (FT) in relation to the onset and development of foliar injury.
All experimental host colonies were haphazardly selected, tagged, mapped and randomly assigned one of the five treatments.
