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

Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “Even so, whilst major reviews have sought to bring much of this material together (Summers-Smith, 1988; Anderson, 2006), and similar environmental variables have been proposed to explain the trends in many traits, the connections between the different patterns have been little explored.”
A new bio-inspired optimisation algorithm: Bird Swarm Algorithm (2016, background): “They may roost communally, forage and ﬂy in ﬂocks (Anderson, 2006).”
Epigenetics for behavioral ecologists (2013, background): “Although most human-facilitated introductions of P. domesticus probably occurred during the 19th century, some recent introductions coincided with human development of certain areas (Anderson 2006).”
Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, result): “Synurbic species not only exploit but often have become dependent on sources provided by humans (Shochat et al. 2006), e.g. the Feral Pigeon Columba livia, House Sparrow or European Starling Sturnus vulgaris can be termed to be worldwidely synurbic.”
Urbanization, nestling growth and reproductive success in a moderately declining house sparrow population (2012, background): “Mortality of the captive adults was low compared to the natural annual rates of ca 40–50% (Anderson 2006): 7 out of 40 died during the two study years.”
