The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Big city life: carnivores in urban environments (2012, background): “The pattern of increasing numbers of carnivore species present in towns and cities over recent decades (e.g. coyotes in the US: Gehrt, 2011; bears in the US: Beckmann & Lackey, 2008; and Europe: Quammen, 2003) may mark the future for the coexistence of carnivores with man.”
Variation in Life History and Demography of the American Black Bear (2011, background): “Beckmann and Lackey (2008) propose that wildland bears are acting as a source for urban bear populations in Nevada, and bear sanctuaries like Pisgah in the southeast have been established with the intention of providing source populations for surrounding hunted populations (Powell et al. 1996).”
The ecological effects of providing resource subsidies to predators (2015, background): “However, there were also negative effects on predators’ life histories when mortality rates increased due to human–wildlife conflicts (Beckmann & Lackey, 2008) (Appendix S1).”
