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

Simultaneous study of particle reworking, irrigation transport and reaction rates in sediment bioturbated by the polychaetes Heteromastus and Marenzelleria (2007, background): “Only few studies have examined both particle reworking and irrigation simultaneously (Mermillod-Blondin et al., 2004).”
Geochemical ecosystem engineering by the mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensis (Crustacea: Thalassinidae) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon: Density‐dependent effects on organic matter remineralization and nutrient cycling (2009, background): “Spatial variation in carbon and nutrient cycles can be strongly affected by the composition of the infaunal community, particularly the presence of bioirrigating and bioturbating species (Mermillod-Blondin et al. 2004; Norling et al. 2007).”
Effects of the invasive red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) on soft-bottom fauna in Varangerfjorden, northern Norway (2011, background): “Generally, it seems that key ecosystem functions such as degradation of organic matter and regeneration of nutrients and microbial activity are negatively affected in impoverished macrofaunal communities (Lohrer et al. 2004; Mermillod-Blondin et al. 2004; Olsgard et al. 2008).”
