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

The adaptive capacity of lake food webs: from individuals to ecosystems (2016, background): “Body size is a major structuring force in food webs (Petchey et al. 2008 ) that increases with trophic level in most aquatic ecosystems (Vander Zanden et al. 2000 , Jennings et al. 2001 , Gilljam et al. 2011 ).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “The recent development of allometric co-variation and trait-based food-web scaling (e.g. Gilljam et al., 2011) implies a shift away from the traditional focus on botanical taxonomy and binomial nomenclature to the broader ecology (Raffaelli, 2007).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, methodology): “As ecologists further unravel these traits, we can start to move towards developing a predictive framework for network architecture given community-wide traits of species (Gilljam et al., 2011; Petchey et al., 2008; Woodward et al., 2010b).”
