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

Extinction risk in fragmented habitats (2004, background): “Thus, smaller populations are more vulnerable to extinction because temporal variation in population size is greater in smaller populations (Taylor & Woiwood, 1980; Reed & Hobbs, 2004) and because inbreeding depression and genetic drift reduce fitness in smaller populations.”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “In particular isolated reserves should be capable of supporting a sufficient number of adult animals (Reed et al., 2003; Reed and Hobbs, 2004).”
Impact of urban fragmentation on the genetic structure of the eastern red-backed salamander (2007, background): “After fragmentation, the remaining populations are smaller and more susceptible to greater temporal variation in population size, which increase their extinction probabilities (Reed and Hobbs 2004).”
