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

On raptors and rodents: testing the ecological fidelity and spatiotemporal resolution of cave death assemblages (2010, background): “The majority of live-dead studies have focused on shelled mollusks in soft-sediment environments (see meta-analysis of Kidwell 2001, 2002a,b; Olszewski and Kidwell 2007).”
Fidelity of variation in species composition and diversity partitioning by death assemblages: time-averaging transfers diversity from beta to alpha levels (2009, background): “The same mechanism predicted to reduce variation in species composition in DAs has also been assumed to underlie the excess of within-habitat alpha diversity observed in molluscan death assemblages, even after sample size-standardization (Kidwell 2002, 2007, 2008; Olszewski and Kidwell 2007).”
Predicting the effects of increasing temporal scale on species composition, diversity, and rank-abundance distributions (2010, background): “First, alpha diversity of timeaveraged death assemblages at habitat scales commonly exceeds that of counterpart living assemblages (Kidwell 2001, 2002; Lockwood and Chastant 2006; Olszewski and Kidwell 2007; for foraminiferal examples, see Murray 2003; Horton and Murray 2006).”
