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

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): unforeseen successes in animal ecology (2011, background): “A good example of this is provided by Couturier et al. (2009), who demonstrated that reindeer birth mass—which was positively affected by NDVI in June—positively correlated with population productivity (in terms of number of calves produced per 100 females) 3 and 4 yr later (which corresponds to…”
Impacts of climate change on the seasonal distribution of migratory caribou (2009, background): “More adverse snow and ice conditions are expected under climate change scenarios and predicted to negatively impact caribou body condition (Couturier et al., 2009) and demography (Miller & Gunn, 2003).”
Berry production drives bottom – up effects on body mass and reproductive success in an omnivore (2018, background): “In large herbivores, reduced lifetime reproductive success has been documented for cohorts born in years with food shortage (Albon et al. 1987, Gaillard et al. 2000, Couturier et al. 2009).”
Influence of habitat degradation on fish replenishment (2010, background): “2009) and mammals (Conradt et al. 1999; Morris and Davidson 2000; Couturier et al. 2009), few studies assess the within-species costs of association with different habitats for coral reef fishes (but see Munday 2001).”
