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

Limit theorems for discrete-time metapopulation models (2010, methodology): “This is Verhulst’s model [63] for population growth and Levins used Pearl’s rationale [51, 52, 53] to derive it.”
Mathematically modeling fixed-bed adsorption in aqueous systems (2013, unknown): “(66) is represented as (Pearl, 1977; Lin et al., 2002) 2F o 1 2ln 1 . i i i C b b t b t b t C”
Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “Lotka (1925) and Volterra (1926) mathematically incorporated the limiting effects of competition, predation, and parasitism into population growth models, and Pearl (1930) and others emphasized that analysis of population density and its end effects were of ‘‘significant biological importance’’.”
A succession of paradigms in ecology: Essentialism to materialism and probabilism (2004, background): “…virtually ignored until the early twentieth century, when it was simultaneously exhumed and exploited by Lotka (1907, 1925), Pearl and Reed (1920), Pearl (1925), and Volterra (1926, 1928); the first and last authors even became eponyms for the equation, which they elaborated into a pair of…”
Paradoxes in the logistic equation (2005, background): “Finally, its remarkable fitting abilities to early datasets have also contributed to the popularity of the model (Pearl, 1925; Feller, 1940; Hutchinson, 1978).”
