How researchers see this paper

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

Late Ediacaran redox stability and metazoan evolution (2012, background): “important role in animal diversification (Butterfield, 2007; Knoll, 1994), but what geochemical and paleontological features are”
Early evolution of the Eukaryota (2015, background): “By far, the best candidate for such a factor is animals and their unparalleled capacity to drive ecological, biogeochemical and macroevolutionary change (Butterfield 2007, 2011).”
SCALE AND HIERARCHY IN MACROEVOLUTION (2007, background): “…2004; Conway Morris 2006), mid-Palaeozoic land plants (Bateman et al. 1998; Boyce and Knoll 2002; Boyce 2005) and vertebrates (Ahlberg et al. 2006; Ruta et al. 2006), early angiosperms (Lupia 1999), and even in Proterozoic eukaryotes (Huntley et al. 2006; but see Butterfield 2007 for caveats).”
The Ecological Physiology of Earth's Second Oxygen Revolution (2015, unknown): “Still others (e.g., Butterfield 2009) speculate that the event that reordered the Earth system was, in fact, the emergence of animals themselves.”
GEODYNAMICS AND RATE OF VOLCANISM ON MASSIVE EARTH-LIKE PLANETS (2008, background): “Volcanism may underpin the long-term habitability that the fossil record teaches us is a prerequisite for advanced life (Butterfield 2007).”
