Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Ecology
Biodiversity
Ecosystem

Ana D. Davidson mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Per capita, Consumption and Population growth. Her studies link Extinction with Ecology. Her studies in Extinction integrate themes in fields like Conservation status, Data deficient, IUCN Red List and Marine mammal.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Prairie dog, Agroforestry, Keystone species, Species richness and Species diversity in addition to Biodiversity. Her Per capita research incorporates elements of Natural resource economics, Sustainability and Environmental resource management. Her research in Grassland intersects with topics in Habitat, Herbivore, Predation, Ecosystem and Spatial heterogeneity.

Her most cited work include:

Multiple ecological pathways to extinction in mammals (279 citations)
Energetic Limits to Economic Growth (174 citations)
Drivers and hotspots of extinction risk in marine mammals (168 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Habitat, Prairie dog, Grassland and Biodiversity. Her Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Extinction. Her Habitat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxonomic rank, Climate change, Ecosystem and Lizard.

Her Prairie dog study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Livestock, Forestry, Grazing and Wildlife refuge. Her Grassland study combines topics in areas such as Shrubland, Abundance, Herbivore, Cynomys ludovicianus and Rodent. Her Biodiversity research integrates issues from Protected area, Species distribution and Endemism.

She most often published in these fields:

Ecology (102.90%)
Habitat (37.68%)
Prairie dog (28.99%)

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

Ecology (102.90%)
Biodiversity (39.13%)
Threatened species (20.29%)

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

Ana D. Davidson spends much of her time researching Ecology, Biodiversity, Threatened species, Taxonomic rank and Grassland. Her Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Evolutionary biology. Ana D. Davidson combines subjects such as Protected area, Environmental resource management and Endemism with her study of Biodiversity.

IUCN Red List, Rapoport's rule and Altitude is closely connected to Species distribution in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Threatened species. Her work deals with themes such as Cynomys gunnisoni, Spatial ecology, Arid, Capture mark recapture and Rodent, which intersect with Grassland. Her Habitat study deals with Extinction intersecting with Geospatial analysis, Climate change and Range.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Global priorities for conservation across multiple dimensions of mammalian diversity. (76 citations)
Global priorities for conservation across multiple dimensions of mammalian diversity. (76 citations)
Global priorities for conservation across multiple dimensions of mammalian diversity. (76 citations)

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

Ecology
Biodiversity
Ecosystem

Her primary areas of study are Biodiversity, Threatened species, Endemism, Species distribution and Protected area. Her Biodiversity study often links to related topics such as Ecosystem. Ana D. Davidson has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Enhydra lutris, Mammal, Bison bison and Habitat.

Enhydra lutris is a subfield of Ecology that Ana D. Davidson tackles. Her work carried out in the field of Threatened species brings together such families of science as Taxonomic rank and Environmental resource management.
