Re: JabRef entry warning
Paul, this is why I am getting irritated at the (ie his) persistent lack of sending in MWEs. Having to go through this (and every time) borders on the rude, and frustrates people like you (and me) who want to help. A small file such as your dummy file, producing the error with the required files allows anyone to just run the sucker and see where the issue comes from. Then one can also open the BIB file with another tool (I like BibDesk on the Mac) and see what errors this flags. I also find, when I have such an issue myself, reducing the file to nothing else but the error producing text often makes me find the error :-)-O Never mind (him) sending in stuff with typos. el 12/10/2021 20:56, Paul A.

Paul,
All key:value pairs end with commas except for the last one.
You also have a few places with a funky dash separating a pair of
numbers,
rather than a double dash ('--'). That might be the result of copying
from
a PDF and pasting. I don't know if that will also cause any indigestion.
Yes, that's not uncommon. I try to catch and repair them when I enter the
document in JabRef, but aren't always successful. Now corrected.
The error specified the document name, not any key:value pair between the
opening and closing braces:
WARN - Name in key 'Paul2012' is empty (probably consecutive 'and'):
skipping entry 'Paul2012'
The name key has no 'and' in it.
While this is a warning, not an error, I'd still like to have biber
accept
it as correct.
Still puzzled,
Rich

It's like the reading test where the paragraph has the word 'the' twice, once at the end of a line, the other at the beginning of the following line. I hadn't noticed that when I looked at each field, but your fresh eyes caught it. Thank you very much.

Maybe it was the two "ands" in a row in the author field:

Kornel,
Mea culpa! The proper entry is:

the U.S.
Geological Survey, this study examines the occurrence of nine trace
elements in bed sediment of varying mineralogy and land use and assesses
the possible effects of these trace elements on
aquatic-macroinvertebrate
community structure. Samples of bed sediment and macroinvertebrates
were collected from 154 streams at sites representative of undeveloped,
...
and Naididae all demonstrated resilience to trace-element exposure
and, in some cases, possible changes in physical habitat within stream
ecosystems. The taxa characteristics within the Ozark Highland ecoregion
were different than other ecoregions as evidenced by generally more
diverse mayfly populations. In addition, Baetis sp. was common and
dominated many of the mayfly populations found in the Rocky Mountain
streams within the Mountain Southern Rockies and Mountain Northern
Rockies ecoregions; however, within the Ozark Highland ecoregion,
Tricorythodes sp. appeared to be more common than Baetis sp.},

}
I redacted most of the abstract to save space as the issue is with the name.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake,
