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

When can positive interactions cause alternative stable states in ecosystems (2016, background): “…existence unequivocally in an ecosystem requires using experimental approaches, which are often expensive, time consuming and not always possible at meaningful spatial and temporal scales (Schr€oder, Persson & de Roos 2005; Petraitis 2013; but see e.g. Carpenter et al. 2011; Sirota et al. 2013).”
Network resilience (2020, background): “Whether alternative stable states exist in nature has been the subject of a historical debate [72, 73, 74, 75].”
