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

Poriferan paraphyly and its implications for Precambrian palaeobiology (2007, background): “Most arguments against a sponge affinity have focused on the sclerites (Bengtson 2005; Randall et al. 2005), and because there are clear differences between the spicules of chancelloriids and sponges, most authors agree that the two are not homologous.”
The Ecological Physiology of Earth's Second Oxygen Revolution (2015, background): “…has focused on pelagic animals in low-oxygen settings (Childress 1995), but, as it pertains to metazoans, Earth’s second oxygen revolution was essentially a benthic affair, with pelagic animals proliferating only near the end of the Cambrian radiation (Butterfield 1997, Peterson et al. 2005).”
SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “…factors, although environmental triggers and ecological feedbacks are currently in favour (e.g. Valentine 1995, 2004; Knoll and Carroll 1999; Ciampaglio 2002, 2004; Erwin 2005, 2007; Peterson et al. 2005; but for a blurring of the need for ‘either ⁄ or’ arguments, see Webster 2005; Marshall 2006).”
