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

Using plant functional traits to guide restoration: A case study in California coastal grassland (2011, background): “Though such responses are theoretically well-grounded and potentially important, they have rarely been investigated empirically (Berg and Ellers 2010, da Silveira Pontes et al. 2010).”
The reciprocal relationship between competition and intraspecific trait variation (2016, background): “However, these hypotheses are based on static trait differences among species, yet many traits vary with the presence of neighbours (Novoplansky 2009; Ashton et al. 2010; Berg & Ellers 2010).”
Functional Traits and Trait-Mediated Interactions: Connecting Community-Level Interactions with Ecosystem Functioning (2015, background): “Nevertheless, potentially explaining variation in the nature and strength of species interactions using principles from evolutionary ecology is a useful starting point that can help to identify generalities (Agrawal, 2001; Berg and Ellers, 2010; Miner et al., 2005; Schmitz et al., 2008).”
Quantifying the relevance of intraspecific trait variability for functional diversity (2011, unknown): “…important effects of intraspecific trait variability on community assembly, habitat selection and ecosystem functioning (Callaway, Pennings, &Richards 2003; Boege &Dirzo 2004; Lecerf & Chauvet 2008; Funk 2008; Berg & Ellers 2010; Cornwell & Ackerly 2009; Gross et al. 2009; Thuiller et al. 2009).”
