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

Herbivory mediated by coupling between biomechanical traits of plants and grasshoppers (2013, background): “Scaling relationships between functional traits of species that form interaction networks is a widespread pattern generally involving the species’ size (Honek et al. 2007; Petchey et al. 2008; Ibanez 2012).”
National-scale regulation of the weed seedbank by carabid predators (2011, unknown): “Carabid beetles have been studied as potential natural enemies of weeds, through predation of weed seeds by omnivorous and granivorous species (Tooley & Brust 2002; Westerman et al. 2003;Honek et al. 2007; Baraibar et al. 2009).”
The Role of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Weed Seed Consumption: A Review (2015, background): “Honek et al. (2003, 2007, 2011) experimented with adults of several carabid species and found that the preference for the seed depended on carabid body size.”
