Across 39 early-stage high-mass clumps, the top three cores keep constant ~25%, ~16%, and ~10% shares of total core mass, suggesting massive-core seeds win early and then grow proportionally with the rest.

Super-Jeans Fragmentation and Supply-Limited Accretion: Environment-Dependent Co-Evolution of Low- and High-Mass Cores
Across 39 early-stage high-mass clumps, the top three cores keep constant ~25%, ~16%, and ~10% shares of total core mass, suggesting massive-core seeds win early and then grow proportionally with the rest.
