Alison M. Dunn

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Ecology
• Predation
• Parasitism

Her main research concerns Ecology, Zoology, Microsporidia, Host and Introduced species. Her study in Predation, Biodiversity, Parasitism, Range and Wildlife falls within the category of Ecology. The Predation study combines topics in areas such as Competition, Gammarus pulex and Interspecific competition.

Her research in Parasitism intersects with topics in Protozoa and Intraguild predation. Alison M. Dunn combines subjects such as Microsporidiosis, Small population size and Sex ratio with her study of Host. Her Introduced species research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Invasive species and Functional response.

Her most cited work include:

• Roles of parasites in animal invasions. (373 citations)
• How parasites affect interactions between competitors and predators (301 citations)
• Wildlife diseases: from individuals to ecosystems (298 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Zoology, Host, Introduced species and Microsporidia. Her study in Predation, Parasitism, Crayfish, Biodiversity and Gammarus pulex is carried out as part of her Ecology studies. Her Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Ecosystem and Wildlife.

Her Zoology research includes elements of Environmental sex determination, Sex ratio and Nosema. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Introduced species, Invasive species are connected with Biosecurity and other disciplines. Her study in Microsporidia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transmission and Protozoa.

She most often published in these fields:

• Ecology (60.75%)
• Zoology (34.95%)
• Host (20.97%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Ecology (60.75%)
• Biosecurity (6.45%)
• Introduced species (19.35%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Biosecurity, Introduced species, Zoology and Crayfish. Her work on Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Habitat as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Alien, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Introduced species study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Predation, Predator and Lizard.

The concepts of her Predation study are interwoven with issues in Abundance and Gammarus pulex. Her Zoology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Parasitism. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gammarus, Pleistophora mulleri, Intraguild predation and Cannibalism.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Exploring the attitudes to and uptake of biosecurity practices for invasive non-native species: views amongst stakeholder organisations working in UK natural environments (18 citations)
• Predatory impacts of alien decapod Crustacea are predicted by functional responses and explained by differences in metabolic rate (14 citations)
• Green crab Carcinus maenas symbiont profiles along a North Atlantic invasion route (13 citations)

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

• Ecology
• IUCN Red List
• Parasitism

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biosecurity, Crayfish, Crustacean, Toxicology and Dikerogammarus villosus. Her Crayfish study is associated with Ecology. In her works, Alison M. Dunn undertakes multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Chinese mitten crab.

Crustacean is a primary field of her research addressed under Zoology. Her work on Amphipoda as part of general Zoology study is frequently linked to Asellus aquaticus, Rickettsiella, Legionellales and Candidatus, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her studies deal with areas such as Aquatic animal, Alien species and Shrimp as well as Toxicology.
