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

The Adaptive Significance of Coloration in Mammals (2005, background): “By contrast, quality advertisement might be directed at coursing predators, and both white rumps and dark faces are associated with pursuit by coursers in bovids and artiodactyls (Stoner et al. 2003a).”
The biology of color (2017, background): “Lastly, mammals, such as deer, are born with striped coats but take on uniform pelage as adults (71).”
Correlates of horn and antler shape in bovids and cervids (2003, methodology): “Analyses were conducted using the cervid and bovid phylogenies taken from Stoner et al. (2003) where methods and sources used to derive these trees are described in detail.”
Animal camouflage: current issues and new perspectives (2009, background): “We do not doubt that categorisation of appearances has merits in some circumstances, such as for comparative studies (e.g. Stoner et al. 2003).”
Mechanisms of Thermoregulation and Water Balance in Desert Ungulates (2006, unknown): “While pelage coloration may perform a thermoregulatory function in some species, concealment from predators and interspecific communication may exert stronger selective pressures for pelage coloration (Stoner et al. 2003).”
