Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Alasdair I. Houston is best known for:

  • Natural selection
  • Genetic algorithm
  • Waterfowl

His Ecology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Crop. His research combines Ecology and Crop. His Animal ecology research extends to the thematically linked field of Zoology. Foraging and Nectar are two areas of study in which Alasdair I. Houston engages in interdisciplinary research. In his articles, Alasdair I. Houston combines various disciplines, including Nectar and Foraging. His Demography study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Population model. His Population research extends to Population model, which is thematically connected. His study brings together the fields of Demography and Population. His research ties Hoarding (animal behavior) and Feeding behavior together.

His most cited work include:

  • Optimal daily routines of singing and foraging in a bird singing to attract a mate (176 citations)
  • Density Dependence and Magpie Food Hoarding (159 citations)
  • Spatially explicit, individual-based, behavioural models of the annual cycle of two migratory goose populations (128 citations)

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

Alasdair I. Houston conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Ecology and Predation. Alasdair I. Houston combines Predation and Ecology in his research. His study connects Animal ecology and Zoology. His research on Animal ecology often connects related areas such as Zoology. He integrates Foraging and Optimal foraging theory in his studies. He performs integrative study on Optimal foraging theory and Foraging. His research links Reproductive success with Demography. Reproductive success and Population are frequently intertwined in his study. His research links Demography with Population.

Alasdair I. Houston most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (76.92%)
  • Zoology (42.31%)
  • Foraging (30.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2012)?

  • Ecology (100.00%)
  • PEST analysis (50.00%)
  • Demography (50.00%)

In recent works Alasdair I. Houston was focusing on the following fields of study:

His Epistemology study spans across into areas like Rationality and Normative. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Normative and Epistemology in his work. Alasdair I. Houston performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Metapopulation in his works. Metapopulation is often connected to Demography in his work. Demography is often connected to Population in his work. His study connects Biological dispersal and Population. Alasdair I. Houston performs integrative study on Biological dispersal and Ecology in his works. PEST analysis and Botany are frequently intertwined in his study. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of PEST analysis and Botany.

Between 2002 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • The ecological rationality of state-dependent valuation. (27 citations)
  • Seasonal dispersal of pests: one surge or two? (6 citations)
