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

Economic and ecological implications of geographic bias in pollinator ecology in the light of pollinator declines (2014, background): “Th is means that LEDCs that lack the research community, institutions, established fi eld stations or infrastructure to facilitate research are often understudied and their ecology poorly understood (Py š ek et al. 2008, Stocks et al. 2008, Martin et al. 2012).”
Plant–plant interactions in tropical alpine environments (2012, unknown): “De facto, there is a strong imbalance between the number of species found in the tropics and the number of ecological studies undertaken in tropical environments as compared with temperate ecosystems (Stocks et al., 2008).”
How well do we understand landscape effects on pollinators and pollination services (2012, background): “Highdiversity tropical regions are usually located in developing countries, which commonly have limited funds and specialized personnel with which to conduct high quality environmental research (e.g., Stocks et al. 2008).”
Volume and Geographical Distribution of Ecological Research in the Andes and the Amazon, 1995–2008 (2011, background): “[18] for the 1995-2004 volumes of Biotropica and Journal of Tropical Ecology.”
