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

Biotic homogenization and conservation prioritization (2007, background): “…on the assumption that taxonomic composition will remain constant through time, regional species pools can and do change, even in protected areas (Gurd et al., 2001; Sax and Gaines, 2003), with endemics, habitat specialists, species with large home range requirements, and migrants especially…”
Species distributions, surrogacy, and important conservation regions in Canada (2004, unknown): “The hexagon size reflects the constraints of reasonable spatial representation of species life history requirements ( Gurd et al. 2001 ), data collection, confidentiality of listed species locations and computational feasibility.”
Shapes and functions of species–area curves: a review of possible models (2003, background): “That species have minimum area requirements is well known, but these have not been estimated empirically for most species (Gurd et al., 2001).”
