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

Best practice guidelines for surveys and monitoring of great ape populations (2008, background): “Therefore, studies should follow the stringent protocols developed for low quality and quantity samples (Taberlet and Luikart 1999; Taberlet et al. 1999; Mills et al. 2000; Morin et al. 2001; Waits 2004).”
Predicting carnivore occurrence with noninvasive surveys and occupancy modeling (2011, background): “Further, explicitly accounting for imperfect detectability is particularly important for studies of rare and elusive species (Thompson 2004) such as many carnivores.”
Using environmental DNA methods to improve winter surveys for rare carnivores: DNA from snow and improved noninvasive techniques (2019, background): “However, obtaining reliable information about rare carnivore populations to inform decisions is challenging due to their low densities, which make them difficult to detect (Thompson, 2004).”
Guidelines for developing and updating Bayesian belief networks applied to ecological modeling and conservation (2006, background): “Also, prediction of species presence or absence may be frought with errors in such factors as detectability of the organism and consistency of surveys (Thompson 2004).”
IMPROVING INFERENCES IN POPULATION STUDIES OF RARE SPECIES THAT ARE DETECTED IMPERFECTLY (2005, background): “We are pleased at recent efforts to meet this challenge, including this Special Feature and the new edited volume by W. L. Thompson (2004).”
