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

Ecological specialization matters: long‐term trends in butterfly species richness and assemblage composition depend on multiple functional traits (2015, background): “Research on the relationship between diversity and functional aspects has so far been dominated by studies that focus on the dichotomy between resource specialists and generalists (Men endez et al., 2006; Stefanescu et al., 2011; B€orschig et al., 2013; but see Dapporto & Dennis, 2013).”
Insect responses to global change offer signposts for biodiversity and conservation (2020, background): “In British butterflies, distribution trends from 1995 to 2009 were most positive for habitat specialists for which conservation actions had been implemented (Dapporto & Dennis, 2013).”
