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

Selection, Tinkering, and Emergence in Complex Networks - Crossing the Land of Tinkering (2002, background): “Although the presence of historical contingencies plays certainly a role in evolution (Gould, 1989, Conway Morris, 1998, Gould, 2002) recent studies on fractal transport networks in biology seem to provide strong support for the presence of eﬁective optimization processes (Brown and West, 2000).”
Herbivory and plant resource competition: a review of two interacting interactions (2003, background): “On a more general level, integrating physiology in studies on plant competition and herbivory could be the most promising approach for developing a general framework for understanding the interaction between plants and herbivores across scales (Brown and West 2000).”
