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

The aging of Wolff's "law": ontogeny and responses to mechanical loading in cortical bone. (2004, background): “As a field, evo-devo explicitly examines evolutionary transformations of the processes by which the genotype generates phenotype (for reviews, see Hall, 1999; Carroll et al., 2001; Wilkins, 2002).”
The juvenile transition: A developmental switch point in human life history (2009, unknown): “degree of ‘‘disconnection” between stage-specific phenotypes (West-Eberhard, 2003; Wilkins, 2002).”
Integration and Evolvability in Primate Hands and Feet (2009, background): “Future research into the evolution and tissue-specific roles of regulatory elements may improve our knowledge of how integration, evolvability and morphological diversity can evolve among serially homologous structures in complex organisms (Rudel and Sommer 2003; Wilkins 2002).”
Avida (2004, background): “Substantial evidence now exists that supports Darwin’s general model for the evolution of complexity (e.g., [12, 20, 31, 32, 54]), but it is still diﬃ-cult to provide a complete account of the origin of any complex feature due to the extinction of the intermediate forms, imperfection of the fossil…”
Do hormonal control systems produce evolutionary inertia? (2008, background): “That is, much of the cascade seems to be conserved even when the starting point (a ZZ/ZW versus XX/XY system) is not (Wilkins 2002).”
