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

Ecology and natural history of the protochordates (2005, background): “However, recent studies show that too long a delay leads to drastic declines in energy reserves, resulting in lowered postlarval size, growth rate, and survivorship (Marshall and Keough 2003).”
Desperate larvae: influence of deferred costs and habitat requirements on habitat selection (2007, background): “Thus, older larvae are viewed as being increasingly ‘desperate’ to settle regardless of settlement cues, a conceptual model known as the ‘desperate larva hypothesis’ (Toonen & Pawlik 1994, 2001, Marshall & Keough 2003).”
Ascidians as models for studying invasion success (2015, background): “After a relative short planktonic larval phase (usually minutes to several days; Svane and Young 1989; Bingham and Young 1991; Marshall and Keough 2003), larvae metamorphose and settle down to become sessile adults.”
Causes of decoupling between larval supply and settlement and consequences for understanding recruitment and population connectivity (2010, background): “…inducers, presence of conspecifics, biofilms) and physical factors (e.g., light), biological interactions (e.g., cannibalism), and larval physiology (age, competency, energy reserves) (Olivier et al., 2000; Qian et al., 2000; Marshall and Keough, 2003; Koehl et al., 2007; Tremblay et al., 2007).”
