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

Including species interactions in risk assessments for global change (2007, background): “Often, and perhaps usually, the geographical distribution of predators is smaller than that of their arthropod (Goolsby et al., 2004), plant (Lawton, 2000; Day et al.”
Mortality dynamics and population regulation in Bemisia tabaci (2005, background): “…observed in this study was primarily due to two native species, although in recent years most of the parasitism of B. tabaci in cotton and other crops in Arizona has been due to several exotic Eretmocerus and Encarsia species (Goolsby et al., 2005; L. Cañas, S.E. Naranjo & P.C. Ellsworth, unpubl.”
Selecting arthropod biological control agents against arthropod pests: Can the science be improved to decrease the risk of releasing ineffective agents? (2005, background): “Goolsby et al. (2005) retrospectively analyzed the establishment of whiteXy parasitoids introduced in the US and showed that those species having the best climate match between source and release locations tended to be the most eYcient in the evaluations.”
