Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Biological dispersal, Ecology, Environmental resource management and Ecological systems theory. His study in the field of Ecosystem, Invasive species and Spatial heterogeneity is also linked to topics like Lead and Persistence. He has included themes like Range, Marine reserve and Coupling in his Biological dispersal study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Dynamical systems theory, Butterfly effect, Mathematical model and Population biology in addition to Ecology. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fragmentation, Restoration ecology and Ecosystem health. His study in Ecological systems theory is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ricker model and Set.

His most cited work include:

  • Weak trophic interactions and the balance of nature (1212 citations)
  • Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere (1155 citations)
  • The spatial spread of invasions: new developments in theory and evidence (707 citations)

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

Ecology, Biological dispersal, Statistical physics, Ecology and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Metapopulation and Extinction. His Biological dispersal research integrates issues from Range, Allee effect and Marine reserve.

Alan Hastings interconnects Marine protected area, Natural resource economics, Fisheries management and Population model in the investigation of issues within Marine reserve. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stabilizing selection and Population genetics. His work carried out in the field of Population genetics brings together such families of science as Genetics and Natural selection, Selection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (46.91%)
  • Biological dispersal (18.77%)
  • Statistical physics (13.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (46.91%)
  • Biological dispersal (18.77%)
  • Statistical physics (13.58%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biological dispersal, Statistical physics, Allee effect and Population model. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Renormalization group and Ising model. The various areas that Alan Hastings examines in his Biological dispersal study include Range, Competition, Extinction and Interspecific competition.

His Statistical physics research includes elements of Probability distribution, Chaotic and Stability. In his work, Fractal is strongly intertwined with Bistability, which is a subfield of Allee effect. Alan Hastings has included themes like Marine protected area, Natural resource economics and Marine reserve in his Population model study.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transient phenomena in ecology. (142 citations)
  • Species are not most abundant in the centre of their geographic range or climatic niche. (82 citations)
  • Predicting tipping points in mutualistic networks through dimension reduction. (56 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

Alan Hastings focuses on Ecology, Biological dispersal, Ecology, Seed dispersal and Context. His studies deal with areas such as Universality and Population model as well as Ecology. His Population model study incorporates themes from Operationalization, Marine protected area, Marine reserve, Environmental resource management and Temporal scales.

His Biological dispersal research incorporates elements of Abundance, Extinction, Interspecific competition, Attractor and Statistical physics. As a part of the same scientific family, Alan Hastings mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Ecological systems theory and, on occasion, Anticipation, Identification, Regime shift and Dynamical systems theory. Alan Hastings combines subjects such as Mutualism, Data collection, Climate change, Germination and Single species with his study of Seed dispersal.
