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

The Ecological Role of the Mammalian Mesocarnivore (2009, background): “Mesocarnivores such as ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are major predators of dasyproctids and may be a primary driver of the abundance of large-bodied seed predators (Moreno et al. 2006).”
A comparison and critique of different scat‐analysis methods for determining carnivore diet (2011, methodology): “In one additional case an ill-suited model was used (Moreno et al. 2006; Table 1).”
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of living in a defaunated world (2013, background): “involved in trophic cascades is badly needed (Moreno et al., 2006).”
Predicting local extinctions of Amazonian vertebrates in forest islands created by a mega dam (2015, background): “Yet they were absent from mediumsized islands at Lago Guri, following a short isolation time (Terborgh et al., 2001), and no longer occur in the 1500-ha Barro Colorado Island, Panama (Moreno et al., 2006).”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “Such niche differentiation occurs in pumas and jaguars (Taber et al. 1997, Scognamillo et al. 2003), and character release of body size in puma and in ocelots associated with shifting to larger prey has been observed in areas where jaguars have been extirpated (Moreno et al. 2006).”
