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

BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “Siriwardena et al. (2007), found that Yellowhammer declines were less steep in areas where the species received more overwinter provisioning, providing experimental evidence for winter resource limitation.”
Farmland birds and late winter food: does seed supply fail to meet demand? (2008, background): “It is most likely that the significant improvements in breeding population trends associated with greater winter food use by species including Yellowhammer in WF1 (Siriwardena et al. 2007) result from the benefits of supplementary food in late winter for annual survival.”
French citizens monitoring ordinary birds provide tools for conservation and ecological sciences (2012, background): “Expected results are the winter displacement towards garden feeders of granivorous species which breeding numbers are declining (Siriwardena et al., 2007) because of agriculture intensification leading to a lower availability of wild seeds in farmed fields (Moorcroft et al., 2002).”
Biodiversity soup: metabarcoding of arthropods for rapid biodiversity assessment and biomonitoring (2012, background): “However, an understandable response has been to ‘teach to the test’ via supplemental winter feeding of farmland birds (Siriwardena et al. 2007; see also Newton 2011).”
