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

Determining the fitness consequences of antipredation behavior (2005, background): “Despite the fact that gravid females suffered from reduced escape speed, they compensated for this by behaving cryptically, implying that vulnerability in this species is determined primarily by avoiding detection rather than escaping swiftly (see also Pérez-Tris et al., 2004).”
Habitat deterioration affects body condition of lizards: A behavioral approach with Iberolacerta cyreni lizards inhabiting ski resorts (2007, background): “For example, Podarcis muralis and Psammodromus algirus lizards submitted to a high predation pressure suffered a loss of body mass (Martı́n and López, 1999a; Pérez-Tris et al., 2004).”
