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

Convergence, contingency & morphospace (2012, background): “Brigandt and Griffiths (2007), for instance, point to three different concepts of homology.”
Model Organisms are Not (Theoretical) Models (2015, background): “10 How to best conceptualize homology is contentious issue (Brigandt and Griffiths [2007]; Ramsey and Peterson [2012]; Hall [2003]).”
Neural reuse: A fundamental organizational principle of the brain (2010, background): “, Carruthers 2006; Fodor 1983; 2000; Prinz 2006; Samuels 2006). Fodor’s (1983) foundational book identified nine criteria for modularity.”
Explanation in Biology: Reduction, Pluralism, and Explanatory Aims (2011, unknown): “A morphological structure that is recognized as the same structure in different species can develop by means of quite different developmental processes and the involvement of different genes in these species (Brigandt and Griffiths 2007; Laubichler and Wagner 2001).”
Beyond Reduction and Pluralism: Toward an Epistemology of Explanatory Integration in Biology (2010, background): “Vice versa, the same gene can be involved in different developmental pathways or in the production of non-homologous structures in different species (Brigandt, 2007; Brigandt and Griffiths, 2007).”
