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

The Developmental, Physiological, Neural, and Genetical Causes and Consequences of Frequency-Dependent Selection in the Wild (2006, background): “Moreover, a Batesian aposematic mimic (Kuchta 2005), Ensatina eschscholtizii xanthoptica, straddles two coevolutionary hotspots in the newt-garter snake dynamic—the San Francisco Bay Area and central Sierras of California— intensifying the arms race.”
Experimental Evidence for Aposematism in the Dendrobatid Poison Frog Oophaga pumilio (2007, background): “Previous studies have demonstrated that soft modeling clay will retain impressions from predation attempts and is an ideal medium from which to construct experimental models (Madsen, 1987; Brodie, 1993).”
What Salamanders Have Taught Us About Evolution (2009, methodology): “Extensive new data and different methods have failed to reject Stebbins’ biogeographic hypotheses, despite adding much that is new (Alexandrino et al. 2005; Jackman & Wake 1994; Kuchta 2005; Kuchta et al. 2009a,b; Moritz et al. 1992; Wake 1997; Wake et al. 1986, 1989).”
