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

Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “Furthermore, frugivore vertebrates are more likely to become locally extinct in small fragments (Cordeiro and Howe, 2003; Rodrı́guez-Cabal et al., 2007).”
Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population (2009, background): “…of marsupials may be positively affected by mistletoe fruit availability (fruit resource tracking), but also by habitat structural features, such as the availability of forest (Rodríguez-Cabal et al. 2007) and of bamboo (a resource for den location and nest building; Jiménez & Rageot 1979).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “As a local patch shrinks, some species and links will go extinct (Pauw, 2007; Rodrı́guez-Cabal et al., 2007), the consequences of which will depend on the network and ecosystem type.”
