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

Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “Honeybees have also increased competition for tree hollows with native mammals and birds, as bee nests are constructed and defended (Emison 1996; Harper et al. 2005).”
Specific nest box designs can improve habitat restoration for cavity‐dependent arboreal mammals (2015, background): “This is in contrast to an average instantaneous count of 9% of possum boxes used by brushtail possums in another urban landscape (Harper et al. 2005).”
Use of artificial tree hollows by Australian birds and bats (2009, background): “Harper et al. (2005b) installed nest boxes as habitat enhancement (~3 per ha) for vertebrate fauna across remnant vegetation within the urban and suburban landscape of Melbourne.”
The breeding performance of raptors in urban landscapes: a review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “Urban environments may also present some species with increased nesting habitat, including natural vegetation and artificial nest boxes (Harper et al. 2005; Jokimäki et al. 2016, 2017).”
