How researchers see this paper

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

Trees, networks, and hydrology (2006, methodology): “This is done by analyzing the general features of spanning networks serving an assigned volume [West et al., 1997, 1999a, 1999b; Banavar et al., 1999, 2002, 2003; Brown et al., 2000; Maritan et al., 2002].”
Scaling of phytoplankton photosynthesis and cell size in the ocean (2007, methodology): “184: 83–97.”
Size-dependent growth rates in eukaryotic and prokaryotic algae exemplified by green algae and cyanobacteria: comparisons between unicells and colonial growth forms (2006, background): “33 is predicted if size-dependent growth and metabolism are controlled by the relationship between surface, through which exchange of energy and matter with the surroundings take place, and volume in which all metabolic processes take place (Brown et al., 2000).”
Microbial biogeography: putting microorganisms on the map (2006, unknown): “This idea of allometry 39 serves as a useful structure for the discussion of biogeographic processes below.”
Biodiversity: Where's Hot and Where's Not (2003, result): “Though not presented here, similar ranking totals were obtained with a predicted z value of 0.25 (Preston 1962; Brown et al. 2000) and were strongly correlated with those for z 0.14 under all criteria (Spearman’s r s 0.94 to 0.98; p 0.01).”
