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

Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “A large body of research demonstrates that aquatic microorganisms can exhibit distinctive biogeographic patterns (Fontaneto, 2011; Incagnone et al., 2014, and references therein).”
How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds (2015, background): “At the base of this hypothesis there is likely our poor ability in distinguishing the different biological units based on morphology only (e.g. Pfenninger & Schwenk, 2007; Packer et al., 2009), which also hampers our ability to estimate how dispersal is in fact realized (Fontaneto & Brodie, 2011).”
Fifteen species in one: deciphering the Brachionus plicatilis species complex (Rotifera, Monogononta) through DNA taxonomy (2017, background): “Yet, distributional patterns and processes in microscopic animals are known to act at different spatial scales than in macroscopic organisms (Fontaneto, 2011), with rotifers having a larger distribution at the global scale than macroscopic animals (Fontaneto et al.”
