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

Measuring metabolic rate in the field: the pros and cons of the doubly labelled water and heart rate methods (2004, background): “Such transmitters weigh around 1 g, placing the lower size limit over an order of magnitude smaller at less than 40 g (Cochran & Wikelski 2004).”
Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “Moreover, we do not know if birds respond directly to temperatures en route (see Cochran & Wikelski 2005) or whether there is genetic variation in this response.”
Technology on the Move: Recent and Forthcoming Innovations for Tracking Migratory Birds (2011, background): “Therefore, these systems are not capable of tracking migratory birds over long distances unless someone expends the tremendous effort to follow an animal with a mobile antenna (e.g., Cochran et al. 1967, Cochran 1987, Cochran and Wikelski 2005, Bowlin and Wikelski 2008).”
MEASURING HABITAT QUALITY: A REVIEW (2007, background): “For example, tracking the survival of small migratory birds from space may be possible with the international space station (Cochran and Wikelski 2005), biomarkers may make possible the estimation of population size (Garshelis and Visser 1997) and reproduction (Hebert and Wassenaar 2005) over large…”
