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

The terrestrial and freshwater invertebrate biodiversity of the archipelagoes of the Barents Sea; Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya (2014, background): “As seen across the Arctic, the environment is characteristically highly heterogenous with, for example, dry stony ridges, periglacial features, areas of late snow melt, heath or wet moss all in close proximity (Thomas et al., 2008).”
The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “The Antarctic terrestrial environment exhibits a strong gradient of soil formation (Allen and Heal 1970, Beyer and Bölter 2002, Thomas et al. 2008).”
Insights into the biology and phylogeny of Chloromonas polyptera (Chlorophyta), an alga causing orange snow in Maritime Antarctica (2013, background): “The latter supports the integrity of biomembranes during drought, thus delimiting cytological damages caused by water stress, which is the case whenever the snow habitat becomes frozen (Thomas et al. 2008), and trehalose has the same functions (Elbein et al. 2003).”
