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

Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “The drivers involved include pathogens (Whitehorn et al. 2013), environmental factors (e.g. flowers, pesticides), ecto-parasites (Meeus et al. 2011) and genetic factors (Cameron et al. 2011).”
Understanding and Enhancing Soil Biological Health: The Solution for Reversing Soil Degradation (2015, background): “Invertebrates are also important herbivores of weeds, and reduce weed seed density and emergence by consuming many of the weed seeds that fall to the soil surface [92–94].”
Isolation from forest reduces pollination, seed predation and insect scavenging in Swiss farmland (2009, background): “Insect pollination enhances fruit and seed production in most nongramineous crops (Klein et al. 2007) and seed predation can affect the dynamics of both weeds and crop plants in arable and grassland systems (White et al. 2007).”
The Role of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Weed Seed Consumption: A Review (2015, background): “…investigated the potential of carabid beetles for weed management across Europe (Westerman et al. 2003a, Honek et al. 2005, 2007; Mauchline et al. 2005) and the United States (Gaines and Gratton 2010; Lundgren et al. 2013;Menalled et al. 2000b, 2007; Shearin et al. 2007, 2008; White et al. 2007).”
