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

Variation of primary production during winter induces synchrony in survival rates in migratory white storks Ciconia ciconia (2005, methodology): “To fit the observer effect model together with age-dependent survival rates requires a special arrangement of the data (see Schmidt, Schaub & Anholt 2002 ).”
Demographic Processes Underlying Population Growth and Decline in Salamandra salamandra (2005, background): “Reliable demographic data for all stages of the complex life cycle of amphibians are difficult to collect and therefore are rarely available (e.g., Biek et al. 2002; Vonesh & De la Cruz 2002) and often of unknown quality (Schmidt et al. 2002).”
Improving data analysis in herpetology: Using Akaike's information criterion (AIC) to assess the strength of biological hypotheses (2006, unknown): “Whereas Schmidt and Anholt (1999) and Schmidt et al. (2002) briefly mentioned these approaches in the context of capture-recapture data, I provide a comprehensive and general illustration of the AIC and related measures for all types of data analyses.”
