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

Observed and predicted effects of climate change on Arctic caribou and reindeer (2018, background): “…have evolved such that the timing of high 119 energetic or nutritional requirements, such as parturition and lactation in Rangifer, 120 coincide with the timing of peak nutrient availability in forage species (Klein 1990; Post 121 and Klein 1999; Stenseth and Mysterud 2002; Post et al. 2003).”
Climate and the match or mismatch between predator requirements and resource availability (2007, background): “Studies of phenology provide some of the strongest evidence for the effects of climate change on organisms (Hughes 2000, Ottersen et al. 2001, Stenseth et al. 2002, Walther et al. 2002, Parmesan & Yohe 2003, Root et al. 2003, Dunn 2004).”
Climate change reduces reproductive success of an Arctic herbivore through trophic mismatch (2008, methodology): “The onset and progression of the calving season is recorded as the daily proportions of calves (calves/(adult femalesCcalves)) observed ( Post et al. 2003).”
