Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Physalaemus, Sexual selection, Ecology, Zoology and Preference. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Physalaemus and Advertising. His Sexual selection research incorporates elements of Cognitive psychology, Genetic variation and Animal communication.

His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Repertoire and Physiology. His work deals with themes such as Communication, Natural selection, Mate choice, Mating preferences and Sensory system, which intersect with Preference. A. Stanley Rand has researched Habitat in several fields, including Genus, Sympatric speciation and Anolis.

His most cited work include:

  • Competition in tropical stream fishes : support for the competitive exclusion principle (648 citations)
  • Frogs of Boracéia (537 citations)
  • Sexual selection for sensory exploitation in the frog Physalaemus pustulosus (481 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

A. Stanley Rand spends much of his time researching Physalaemus, Ecology, Zoology, Sexual selection and Communication. Physalaemus is a subfield of Leptodactylidae that A. Stanley Rand investigates. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Panama, Iguana, Predation and Reproduction, overlaps with other areas such as Geography.

His work in the fields of Anolis overlaps with other areas such as Ornaments. The Sexual selection study combines topics in areas such as Cognitive psychology, Mate choice, Mating preferences and Preference. His Preference research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural selection and Sensory system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Physalaemus (48.11%)
  • Ecology (41.51%)
  • Zoology (31.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2019)?

  • Physalaemus (48.11%)
  • Sexual selection (18.87%)
  • Ecology (41.51%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Physalaemus, Sexual selection, Ecology, Mate choice and Mating. His Physalaemus study is concerned with the larger field of Zoology. A. Stanley Rand has included themes like Visual sensitivity, Repertoire and Physiology in his Zoology study.

A. Stanley Rand merges Sexual selection with Attractiveness in his study. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Panama is frequently linked to work in Eavesdropping, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. In general Mate choice study, his work on Mating preferences often relates to the realm of Time space, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2002 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • The Adaptive Significance of a Complex Vocal Repertoire in a Neotropical Frog (182 citations)
  • The Adaptive Significance of a Complex Vocal Repertoire in a Neotropical Frog (182 citations)
  • Fine-scale genetic pattern and evidence for sex-biased dispersal in the túngara frog, Physalaemus pustulosus (128 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

His primary scientific interests are in Physalaemus, Zoology, Physiology, Repertoire and Sexual selection. Physalaemus is a primary field of his research addressed under Ecology. The various areas that he examines in his Zoology study include Trachops cirrhosus and Frog hearing and communication.

A. Stanley Rand interconnects Cognitive psychology, Multidimensional scaling and Perception in the investigation of issues within Sexual selection. His Animal communication research integrates issues from Sound production and Anatomy. His Predation research incorporates themes from Population density and Host.
