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

Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Other studies demonstrated that provisioning artificial perches attracts other birds of prey (Wolff et al. 1999; Sheffield et al. 2001), including kestrels (Falco sparverius), suggesting again that this method may enhance or concentrate foraging in potentially beneficial ways.”
Importance of ecological compensation areas for small mammals in intensively farmed areas (2007, background): “Many studies have shown that vole density is influenced by vegetation height, cover and litter (e.g. Ostfeld et al. 1985, Tattersall et al. 1997, Sheffield et al. 2001, Olson & Brewer 2003).”
Blue tail and striped body: why do lizards change their infant costume when growing up? (2006, unknown): “hatchlings therefore bear a high probability of encounter with a predator, particularly a visually oriented predator (Lima 1998; Sheffield et al. 2001).”
