2020 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Parasitism

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Parasitism, Host, Introduced species and Trophic level. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology and Disease. The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Range, Species richness, Extinction and Invasive species.

His studies deal with areas such as Food web, Predation and Food chain as well as Parasitism. The study incorporates disciplines such as Competition, Snail and Interspecific competition in addition to Host. His studies in Introduced species integrate themes in fields like Transmission, Carcinus maenas and Pollutant.

His most cited work include:

  • The use of ecological terms in parasitology (report of an ad hoc committee of the American Society of Parasitologists) (1684 citations)
  • Introduced species and their missing parasites (1078 citations)
  • Eradication revisited: dealing with exotic species. (679 citations)

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

Armand M. Kuris mostly deals with Ecology, Zoology, Host, Parasitism and Predation. Crustacean, Introduced species, Snail, Habitat and Species richness are the core of his Ecology study. His Introduced species research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Carcinus maenas and Invasive species.

His work on Nemertea and Taxonomy as part of general Zoology research is frequently linked to Caste, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Host research incorporates themes from Taxon, Barnacle, Competition and Transmission. His study looks at the relationship between Predation and topics such as Trophic level, which overlap with Biomass.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (71.79%)
  • Zoology (23.08%)
  • Host (19.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (71.79%)
  • Zoology (23.08%)
  • Snail (12.82%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Zoology, Snail, Schistosomiasis and Host. Ecology is often connected to Shore in his work. His research investigates the link between Zoology and topics such as Parasitism that cross with problems in Predation, Hermaphrodite and Ephemeral key.

His Snail study combines topics in areas such as Toxicology, Natural enemies and Intermediate host. In his work, Biodiversity and Food chain is strongly intertwined with Prawn, which is a subfield of Schistosomiasis. Armand M. Kuris studied Host and Taxon that intersect with Host specificity, Body size, Life history and Generalist and specialist species.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Assessment of Schistosomiasis Control Over the Past Century Shows Targeting the Snail Intermediate Host Works Best (81 citations)
  • Independent origins of parasitism in Animalia. (58 citations)
  • Nearly 400 million people are at higher risk of schistosomiasis because dams block the migration of snail-eating river prawns (41 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Predation

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Habitat, Schistosomiasis, Snail and Gnathiidae. Armand M. Kuris has researched Ecology in several fields, including Aquatic animal and Pisidium casertanum. Armand M. Kuris combines subjects such as Prawn, Fishery and Food chain with his study of Habitat.

His Schistosoma study in the realm of Schistosomiasis connects with subjects such as Sanitation, World health and Socioeconomics. Armand M. Kuris has included themes like Toxicology, Praziquantel and Disease reservoir in his Snail study. His Gnathiidae research incorporates themes from Larva, Pelagic zone, Demersal zone, Plankton and Fish mortality.
