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

Imperfect detection and its consequences for monitoring for conservation (2008, background): “Three attitudes towards possible complications engendered by the fact of p < 1 are observed: ignorance, standardisation, and estimation (Schmidt 2004, Mazerolle et al. 2007).”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, methodology): “…results of elaborate field and laboratory experiments, and correlative work between amphibian abundances and environmental characteristics, relating this information to effects at the population level remains a major challenge and a source of ongoing debate (Sih et al., 2004a,b; Schmidt, 2004b).”
Making Great Leaps Forward: Accounting for Detectability in Herpetological Field Studies (2007, background): “Such issues are apparent in the evaluation of global amphibian declines (Houlahan et al., 2000; Alford et al., 2001; Green, 2003; Schmidt, 2004).”
