The scientist's work emphasizes multiple main topics including Plant and animal studies, Insect-Plant Interactions and Control, Plant Parasitism and Resistance, Plant Reproductive Biology, Evolution and Genetic Dynamics, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, and Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock.

They have contributed to diverse publication venues, frequently appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Oecologia, Applications in Plant Sciences, American Journal of Botany, and The American Naturalist.

Arthur E. Weis has coauthored work with several researchers, notably Warren G. Abrahamson, Cameron P. So, Karl Grieshop, L. Ruth Rivkin, and Vanessa J. Nhan.

The scientist's recent papers include:

  • Variation in pollinator-mediated plant reproduction across an urbanization gradient (2020, Oecologia)
  • Comparing methods for controlled capture and quantification of pollen in Cannabis sativa (2020, Applications in Plant Sciences)
  • An exploration into the conversion of dominance to additive genetic variance in contrasting environments (2022, American Journal of Botany)
  • Retraction (2021, The American Naturalist)
  • The capacity for adaptation to climate warming in an annual plant (Brassica rapa) (2022, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory))

Besides articles, Weis has published books with Princeton University Press and Yale University Press. One notable title is Evolutionary Ecology across Three Trophic Levels, published in 2020, which has been cited in various contexts.
