Overview

Top Research Topics at Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment?

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment primarily focuses on research topics in Ecology, Zoology, Genus, Taxonomy (biology) and Habitat. The journal encompasses presentations on Ecology, specifically Abundance (ecology), Predation, Fauna, Species richness and Amazon rainforest. Many of the studies tackled connect Zoology with a similar field of study like Larva.

The journal features research on Genus in an attempt to reinforce studies in the field of Botany.

  • Ecology (63.18%)
  • Zoology (29.10%)
  • Genus (14.71%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • The use of invertebrate functional groups to characterize ecosystem attributes in selected streams and rivers in south Brazil (248 citations)
  • Variation and distribution in the tree‐frog genus Phyllomedusa in Costa Rica, central America (181 citations)
  • A Biodiversity Assessment of Bats (Chiroptera) in a Tropical Lowland Rainforest of Central Amazonia, Including Methodological and Conservation Considerations (144 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment:

The published articles facilitate discussions on Ecology, Zoology, Habitat, Predation and Abundance (ecology). Amazon rainforest, Fauna, Species richness, Rainforest and Dry season are some of the study areas of Ecology discussed in the published articles. Zoology research presented in the published articles is mostly focused on the subject of Genus.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment mainly tackles studies in Zoology, Ecology, Genus, Atlantic forest and Ecology (disciplines). Topics in Zoology were tackled in line with various other fields like Lepidoptera genitalia, Host (biology), Parasitism and Larva. Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment explores research in Ecology and the adjacent study of Extinction.

Genus research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Muscidae, Phasmatodea, Diapheromerinae, Diapheromeridae and Taxonomy (biology). The research on Atlantic forest tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Platyrrhinus recifinus, Platyrrhinus lineatus, Species richness, Survey methodology and Habitat suitability. While Ecology (disciplines) is the key highlight in the journal, it also covered some subjects on Short-eared dog and Rainforest.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Sampling biases of small non-volant mammals (Mammalia: Rodentia and Didelphimorphia) surveys in Paraná state, Brazil (2 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 6.25% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.67% of all publications and 20.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution in the USA opens doors to diverse career pathways, including environmental science, conservation, and research. Many students pursue advanced degrees to enhance their expertise and job prospects. For those interested in healthcare-related fields intersecting with ecology, accelerated programs like accelerated MHA programs online provide an efficient route to leadership roles in healthcare and environmental management.

For individuals balancing work and study, finding affordable programs is crucial. Options such as the cheapest MSN to DNP programs offer cost-effective solutions for advancing nursing degrees, which can complement ecology careers focused on public health or epidemiology.

Additionally, students may seek less restrictive admissions to kickstart their academic journey. Platforms featuring easiest nursing programs to get into or no entrance exam nursing schools demonstrate alternative entry points, enabling learners to pursue their passion in related fields with fewer barriers.

Overall, understanding the variety of educational pathways and program requirements can empower students to tailor their studies effectively, blending ecological expertise with allied health and administrative skills.
