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

The broad‐scale ecology of energy expenditure of endotherms (2005, background): “An animal’s metabolic rate determines its resource (e.g. food) requirements (Nagy 2001) and various life-history parameters (e.g. growth rate, lifespan, rmax; Brown et al. 2004 and references therein).”
Resource selection by sympatric wild equids in the Mongolian Gobi (2008, background): “They are about 20% smaller than Przewalski’s horses (Clark et al. 2006) and need less food to cover their daily energy demand (Nagy 2001).”
Toward a metabolic theory of ecology (2004, background): “Data from forests throughout the world show size distributions that are very similar to the predicted scaling (Enquist and Niklas 2001).”
