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

Bringing Elton and Grinnell Together: a quantitative framework to represent the biogeography of ecological interaction networks (2016, background): “None of them explicitly considers variation of associations (i.e., of pairs or higher-order motifs-Stouffer et al. 2007).”
Parasites in food webs: the ultimate missing links (2008, methodology): “…for parasites and predators fall along similar universal curves (Dunne et al. 2002a), whether the webs with and without parasites display similar motifs (patterns of connections within the network) (Stouffer et al. 2007), or how these motifs relate to parasite transmission and persistence.”
Analysing ecological networks of species interactions (2018, background): “In food webs for example, motifs’ under- and over-representation has been found to be consistent across different habitats (Camacho, Stouffer & Amaral, 2007; Stouffer et al., 2007; Borrelli, 2015).”
Food webs: reconciling the structure and function of biodiversity. (2012, background): “Using food-web motifs to decompose larger, more complex food webs into more basic building blocks [25,26] shows that motifs are shared by food webs from distinct habitat types [26].”
Freshwater food webs: towards a more fundamental understanding of biodiversity and community dynamics (2012, background): “, 2005); small interaction motifs (Stouffer et al., 2007) and compartments (Krause et al.”
