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

Net effects of multiple stressors in freshwater ecosystems: a meta‐analysis (2016, background): “Thus, functional resistance should be related to the response diversity and functional redundancy within stressed communities (Elmqvist et al., 2003; Nystr€om, 2006; Mori et al., 2012).”
Ecosystem services by birds and bees to coffee in a changing climate: A review of coffee berry borer control and pollination (2019, background): “In general, diverse communities are likely to show higher diversity in species responses to environmental change (Tilman and Downing, 1994; Klein et al., 2008; Philpott et al., 2009; Mori et al., 2013; Karp et al., 2013b; Martins et al., 2015).”
The three Rs of river ecosystem resilience: Resources, recruitment, and refugia (2019, background): “While these observations are sometimes counterintuitive in the global warming context, they reveal how trophic processes can provide insurance against biodiversity loss while underpinning ecosystem resilience (Peterson et al. , 1998; Mori et al. , 2013).”
CTFS‐ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (2015, background): “A diversity of tree physiological strategies implies a wide range of responses to global change that helps to provide ecosystem resilience (e.g., Isbell et al., 2011; Mori et al., 2013).”
