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

Patterns of species change in anthropogenically disturbed forests of Madagascar (2010, background): “…causes of diversity loss in fragments indicate that edge effects are important, possibly via effects on microclimate; all edge responses were found (edge-avoiders, interior-avoiders, omnipresent species) and edge sensitivity is correlated with extinction vulnerability (Lehtinen et al., 2003).”
Policies for Habitat Fragmentation: Combining Econometrics with GIS-Based Landscape Simulations (2007, background): “Many species of conservation interest are sensitive to habitat fragmentation, including birds (Askins 2002; Faaborg 2002), amphibians (Kolozsvary and and Swihart 1999; Lehtinen, Ramanamanjato, and Raveloarison 2003), and large mammals (Noss 1994; Costa et al. 2005).”
Theory meets reality: How habitat fragmentation research has transcended island biogeographic theory (2008, background): “Edge effects alter many aspects of the structure, microclimate, dynamics, and species composition of fragmented ecosystems (Lovejoy et al., 1986; Laurance et al., 2002; Lehtinen et al., 2003; Ries et al., 2004; Wirth et al., 2007).”
