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

A fundamental dichotomy in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid abundance between and within marine and terrestrial ecosystems (2017, background): “…in our marine data set, other researchers have also observed that DHA was transferred and selectively retained in the aquatic food web and generally increased in higher trophic levels (Kainz et al. 2004; Persson and Vrede 2006; Koussoroplis et al. 2008; Hixson et al. 2015; Twining et al. 2016).”
The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “Studies on consumer nutritional requirements, especially on the ones linking multiple trophic levels, are needed to understand food web dynamics more thoroughly (Twining et al., 2016).”
