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

Beyond description: the active and effective way to infer processes from spatial patterns. (2009, background): “…explain the processes responsible for the observed ecological patterns (Cale et al. 1989, Silvertown and Wilson 1994, Moravie and Robert 2003, Borcard et al. 2004), leaving the biological significance of the pattern largely unknown if subsequent manipulations are not pursued (Murrell et al. 2001).”
Heteromyopia and the spatial coexistence of similar competitors (2002, background): “One reason is that conspecifics tend to develop into clusters segregated from other species, thereby increasing the importance of intraspecific competition relative to interspecific competition (Weiner & Conte 1981; Pacala & Levin 1997; Pacala 1997; Murrell et al. 2001).”
