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

An operating cost of learning in Drosophila melanogaster (2004, result): “Evidence in support of this prediction is growing (Simons et al. 1992; Prokopy et al. 1993; Potting et al. 1997; Geervliet et al. 1998; Sol & Lefebvre 2000; Egas & Sabelis 2001; Jackson & Carter 2001; McNeely & Singer 2001; Mery & Kawecki 2002).”
Integrating optimal foraging and optimal oviposition theory in plant–insect research (2002, background): “…physiological state of the animal (Minkenberg et al. 1992), information processing (Bernays 2001), and learning processes (Dukas and Bernays 2000, Egas and Sabelis 2001) on oviposition preference, still many studies keep reporting large amounts of unexplained variation in host choice quality…”
Evolutionary Biology of Animal Cognition (2004, background): “…success in parasitoid wasps (Biosteres arizanus) that were allowed to rely on learning for host choice (Dukas & Duan 2000); and (c) higher survival and reproduction of herbivorous mites (Tetranychus urticae) that learned to prefer one host plant species over another (Egas & Sabelis 2001).”
Individual variation in spontaneous problem-solving performance among wild great tits (2011, background): “Individual variation in cognitive traits is therefore likely to influence survival and reproductive success (Gailey et al. 1985;Morse & Stephens 1996; Egas & Sabelis 2001).”
