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

Large carnivore impacts are context-dependent (2017, background): “Domestic livestock often aggregate more, and their limited ranging behaviour is exacerbated through herding and human directed foraging at convenient locations (Albon et al. 2007).”
Landscape‐level vegetation recovery from herbivory: progress after four decades of invasive red deer control (2009, background): “2004) and open-hill habitats (Rose & Platt 1987; Takahashi & Kaji 2001; Albon et al. 2007; Wolf et al. 2007).”
Rewilding – A New Paradigm for Nature Conservation in Scotland? (2011, background): “…declining in certain areas, but their grazing and browsing (particularly when combined with that of sheep) continue to have detrimental localised impacts on upland ecosystems, particularly through the inhibition of semi-natural native woodland regeneration (Côté et al. 2004; Albon et al. 2007).”
Identifying threshold densities for wild deer in the UK above which negative impacts may occur (2011, methodology): “…even at lower deer densities, but correlations between impact score and wider deer density for this community are extremely weak (R2 = 0.19; Albon et al. 2007); these Agrostis-Festuca ‘greens’ are known to be heavily preferred and attract a disproportionate amount of usage in relation to…”
