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

On the selection of phylogenetic eigenvectors for ecological analyses (2012, background): “For instance, Diniz-Filho et al. (2009) showed that total mean body size in Carnivora decreases towards higher latitudes (see also Rodriguez et al. 2008), probably related to macroevolutionary events such as higher species turnover in these regions.”
Humidity levels drive reproductive modes and phylogenetic diversity of amphibians in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2012, background): “These variables operate at different spatial scales: elevational range is related to climatic effects at mesoscales, whereas annual mean temperature is a measure of climate variation at broader scales (Rodrı́guez et al., 2008).”
