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

Classification of hypotheses on the evolution of autumn colours (2009, background): “brightness rather than colour (Döring and Chittka 2007).”
Aphid-plant interactions: a review (2008, background): “The cues a winged aphid use to decide landing are visual (Doring and Chittka 2007) and chemical (Pickett et al. 1992).”
The role of olfaction in aphid host location (2012, background): “Although other senses, particularly vision (Doring & Chittka, 2007), undoubtedly play a significant role in aphid host location, it is now widely accepted that olfaction also plays a role in many aphid species.”
In the light of new greenhouse technologies: 2. Direct effects of artificial lighting on arthropods and integrated pest management in greenhouse crops (2011, background): “…to an insect if there is no low-reflecting background contrast, despite the fact that a small object of the same colour (e.g. yellow sticky card) presented against a neutral background such as soil is attractive (Kevan, 1974; Vernon & Gillespie, 1995; Döring & Chittka, 2007; Antignus, 2010).”
