Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

Ecology, Predation, Hymenoptera, Biodiversity and ANT are his primary areas of study. His research brings together the fields of Myrmecophyte and Ecology. He has researched Predation in several fields, including Ectatomma tuberculatum, Intraspecific competition and Nest.

His work on Aculeata and Oecophylla longinoda is typically connected to Formicinae as part of general Hymenoptera study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Range and Species diversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology and Venom.

His most cited work include:

  • Arthropod diversity in a tropical forest (301 citations)
  • Ponericins, New Antibacterial and Insecticidal Peptides from the Venom of the Ant Pachycondyla goeldii (160 citations)
  • The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts (120 citations)

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

Alain Dejean spends much of his time researching Ecology, Predation, Hymenoptera, ANT and Myrmecophyte. His research in Arboreal locomotion, Aculeata, Rainforest, Nest and Foraging are components of Ecology. His work in Rainforest addresses issues such as Species richness, which are connected to fields such as Biodiversity.

His study focuses on the intersection of Predation and fields such as Habitat with connections in the field of Detritivore. As a part of the same scientific family, Alain Dejean mostly works in the field of ANT, focusing on Venom and, on occasion, Toxin. His study in Myrmecophyte is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mutualism, Herbivore and Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (108.62%)
  • Predation (39.41%)
  • Hymenoptera (27.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (108.62%)
  • ANT (34.24%)
  • Predation (39.41%)

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

Alain Dejean mostly deals with Ecology, ANT, Predation, Rainforest and Venom. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Myrmecophyte under Ecology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Obligate. His studies deal with areas such as Mutualism, Botany and Biological dispersal as well as ANT.

His Predation study deals with Nest intersecting with Polistinae. His work focuses on many connections between Rainforest and other disciplines, such as Species richness, that overlap with his field of interest in Tropical rainforest and Biodiversity. His research in Venom intersects with topics in Ponerinae and Hymenoptera.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts (120 citations)
  • The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts (120 citations)
  • Arthropod distribution in a tropical rainforest: Tackling a four dimensional puzzle (111 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Ant venom, Venom, ANT and Biodiversity. All of his Ecology and Invertebrate, Rainforest, Arboreal locomotion, Predation and Range investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. His Predation study combines topics in areas such as Pseudomyrmex, Eusociality, Myrmecophyte and Sex pheromone.

His Ant venom research integrates issues from Zoology, Toxin, Ponerinae and Peptide. The various areas that Alain Dejean examines in his Venom study include Computational biology, Pachycondyla, DNA sequencing and Odontomachus. His work in the fields of Biodiversity, such as Ecosystem diversity and Habitat destruction, intersects with other areas such as Database and Ischnothele.
