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

Founder effect and bottleneck signatures in an introduced, insular population of elk (2010, methodology): “Both methods were found to have low Type I and Type II error rates compared with other methods (Williamson-Natesan 2005).”
Conservation genetics in a globally changing environment: present problems, paradoxes and future challenges (2007, methodology): “Commonly used methods include gametic disequilibrium, heterozygote excess and the so-called “temporal method” (Turner 2001; Pearse and Crandall 2004 for a review, Williamson-Natesan 2005 ).”
Aquatic insects in a sea of desert: population genetic structure is shaped by limited dispersal in a naturally fragmented landscape (2013, methodology): “Although the heterozygosity-based test in BOTTLENECK is suitable for uncovering evidence of recent, moderate population bottlenecks, the M-ratio method (Garza and Williamson 2001) is better for detecting bottlenecks that occurred in the more distant past (Williamson-Natesan 2005).”
