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

The largest eukaryotic genome of them all (2010, background): “…with available data for over 10 000 species showing that they currently vary c. 57 000-fold (this is less than often quoted because the commonly cited extreme values for amoebae, e.g. 700 000 Mbp for Amoeba dubia, are excluded due to considerable uncertainty about their accuracy; Gregory, 2005b).”
Genome size in Bulgarian Centaurea s.l. (Asteraceae) (2006, background): “Holoploid and monoploid genome size are taxonomically significant traits of fundamental biological importance (Bennett and Leitch 1995, 2005a; Bennett et al. 2000; Gregory 2003, 2005).”
The relationship between non-protein-coding DNA and eukaryotic complexity. (2007, background): “experimental errors—of which polyploidy may be the most significant.((2)) Polyploidy is rare in mammals,((17)) but relatively common in amphibians and fish,((18)) the vertebrate classes with the highest known C-values.”
