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

The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes (2020, background): “This could further allow us to assess if observed patterns result from evolutionary responses within taxa or from taxon turnover (Meiri & Thomas, 2007; Novosolov & Meiri, 2013).”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “3 E-mail: hustonma@txstate.edu 349 production (NPP), food supply, and species richness, the last of which potentially involves a sampling effect that may skew data (Meiri and Thomas 2007).”
Length-weight allometries in lizards (2010, unknown): “…size and shape within the range of different species (Ashton & Feldman, 2003; Meiri, Dayan & Simberloff, 2005b; Meiri, Yom-Tov & Geffen, 2007) may make inter- specific comparisons inaccurate, and the methods used in such interspecific comparisons likely affect the results (Meiri & Thomas, 2007).”
Body size–climate relationships of European spiders (2010, background): “If interspecific relationships between body size and climate have a common ecological origin, it can be expected that patterns within families will resemble the overall pattern across families (Hawkins & Lawton, 1995; Brehm & Fiedler, 2004; Meiri & Thomas, 2007).”
