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

Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Basal prey species, such as microbes, certain phytoplankton, macroscopic algae, krill, and small pelagic ‘forage’ fishes such as anchovies and sardines, form important prey for higher consumers in the food chain and influence the structure and stability of food web dynamics [84,109].”
Top-down and bottom-up factors affecting seabird population trends in the California current system (1985-2006) (2010, methodology): “We used the monthly upwelling index from the Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory (www.pfeg.noaa.gov/products/PFEL), for 36 N, 122 W and 39 N, 125 W, to identify the phasing and intensity of upwelling during cruises (Keiper et al., 2005; Thayer and Sydeman, 2007).”
