What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Biodiversity
- Habitat
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Iridomyrmex and Habitat.
His Ecology research focuses on Abundance, Foraging, Fire ecology, Monomorium and Fire regime.
Alan N. Andersen has researched Species richness in several fields, including Relative species abundance, Species diversity, Arid, Plant community and Common species.
Alan N. Andersen interconnects Range, Agroforestry, Land use, Taxon and Climate change in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity.
In the subject of general Iridomyrmex, his work in Melophorus is often linked to Dolichoderinae, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Habitat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rainforest and Community structure.
His most cited work include:
- A classification of Australian ant communities, based on functional groups which parallel plant life-forms in relation to stress and disturbance (403 citations)
- Patch mosaic burning for biodiversity conservation: a critique of the pyrodiversity paradigm. (312 citations)
- Fire frequency and biodiversity conservation in Australian tropical savannas: implications from the Kapalga fire experiment (295 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alan N. Andersen mainly focuses on Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Fauna and Habitat.
Ecology is represented through his Iridomyrmex, Abundance, Rainforest, Tropical savanna climate and Species diversity research.
His Tropical savanna climate study incorporates themes from Dry season and Fire regime.
His Species richness research focuses on Foraging and how it connects with Competition and Predation.
His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Agroforestry, Range, Vegetation, Introduced species and Arid.
His Fauna research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zoology, Endemism and Biogeography.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (95.95%)
- Species richness (44.53%)
- Biodiversity (33.20%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Ecology (95.95%)
- Species richness (44.53%)
- Biodiversity (33.20%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Climate change and Habitat.
Ecology is frequently linked to Agroforestry in his study.
Alan N. Andersen combines subjects such as Abundance, Taxon, Invertebrate, Tropical savanna climate and Species diversity with his study of Species richness.
His Biodiversity research includes themes of Vegetation and Land use.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Montane ecology, Wet tropics, Transect and Body size in addition to Climate change.
In his study, Iridomyrmex and Biogeography is strongly linked to Endemism, which falls under the umbrella field of Fauna.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project (84 citations)
- Responses of ant communities to disturbance: Five principles for understanding the disturbance dynamics of a globally dominant faunal group. (47 citations)
- Neotropical savanna ants show a reversed latitudinal gradient of species richness, with climatic drivers reflecting the forest origin of the fauna (37 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Alan N. Andersen mostly deals with Ecology, Agroforestry, Biodiversity, Species richness and Rainforest.
Ecology is closely attributed to Extinction in his work.
His research in Agroforestry intersects with topics in Indicator species and Ecological indicator.
His Biodiversity research includes elements of Biome, Grazing, Land use and Ecological forecasting.
His research investigates the connection with Species richness and areas like Fauna which intersect with concerns in Gallery forest, Arboreal locomotion and Tropical rainforest.
His Rainforest study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Old-growth forest, Restoration ecology, Forest restoration and Ecological succession, Chronosequence.
