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

Can oil palm plantations become bird friendly? (2010, methodology): “Following a standard procedure (Ralph et al. 1999), point counts had a fixed ratio of 25 m and were located at least 100 m apart; we surveyed birds between 6:00 and 10:00 a.”
Legacy of top-down herbivore pressure ricochets back up multiple trophic levels in forest canopies over 30 years (2011, methodology): “To assess legacy effects of deer density during stand initiation on birds, we censused birds in each stand (28-yr old clear cut) using 5-minute point counts (Ralph et al. 1993) with each stand censused four times between 31 May and 3 July 2008.”
Phenological advancement in arctic bird species: relative importance of snow melt and ecological factors (2014, methodology): “Each survey consisted of three 10-min point counts separated by[200 m on the plot centerline, and each count conducted at least 30 min apart (Ralph et al. 1993).”
Avian body size changes and climate change: warming or increasing variability? (2012, background): “The capture and handling of birds followed standardized protocols for mist-netting (Ralph et al., 1993).”
