What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Botany
- Agriculture
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Predation, Aphid, Botany and Herbivore.
Her studies in Predation integrate themes in fields like Species evenness, Species richness, Trophic level and Community structure.
She has included themes like Sinapis, White mustard, Sinalbin, Pollen beetle and Rhopalosiphum padi in her Aphid study.
Her work on Glucosinolate, Brevicoryne brassicae and Capparales as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Plant disease resistance and Gene family evolution, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Barbara Ekbom has researched Herbivore in several fields, including Fecundity, Sawfly and Functional response.
Her research integrates issues of PEST analysis and Biological pest control in her study of Agriculture.
Her most cited work include:
- Myrosinase: gene family evolution and herbivore defense in Brassicaceae. (577 citations)
- Landscape heterogeneity and farming practice influence biological control (216 citations)
- Oviposition mistakes in herbivorous insects: confusion or a step towards a new host plant? (168 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Ecology, Pollen beetle, Agronomy and PEST analysis.
Barbara Ekbom frequently studies issues relating to Avian clutch size and Botany.
Her Ecology study focuses mostly on Predation, Biodiversity, Species richness, Agriculture and Ecosystem.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Agroforestry, Coarse woody debris, Ecosystem services, Organic farming and Taiga in addition to Biodiversity.
Her work carried out in the field of Pollen beetle brings together such families of science as Sinapis and Meligethes aeneus.
Her research in Agronomy focuses on subjects like Agroecosystem, which are connected to Crop diversity.
She most often published in these fields:
- Botany (38.16%)
- Ecology (36.84%)
- Pollen beetle (23.68%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2018)?
- Ecology (36.84%)
- Biodiversity (15.79%)
- Ecosystem services (9.21%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Species richness and Predation.
In her work, Herbivore is strongly intertwined with Agronomy, which is a subfield of Ecology.
Her Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Agroforestry and Agriculture, Sustainable agriculture, Organic farming, Arable land.
Her Arable land research includes themes of Agroecosystem, Crop diversity and Crop rotation.
In general Species richness, her work in Species evenness is often linked to Taxonomic rank linking many areas of study.
Her Biological pest control research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Species diversity and Habitat.
Between 2012 and 2018, her most popular works were:
- Flow and stability of natural pest control services depend on complexity and crop rotation at the landscape scale (135 citations)
- Predator body sizes and habitat preferences predict predation rates in an agroecosystem (67 citations)
- Ecological production functions for biological control services in agricultural landscapes (45 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Botany
- Biodiversity
Barbara Ekbom mainly investigates Ecosystem services, Ecology, Biodiversity, Community structure and Ecosystem.
Her Ecosystem services research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arable land, Pest control, Sustainable agriculture, Crop rotation and Crop diversity.
Her study in Intraguild predation, Predation, Organic farming, Generalist and specialist species and Land use falls under the purview of Ecology.
Her Intraguild predation study combines topics in areas such as Decomposer and Aphid, Agronomy, Growing season.
Her Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agriculture, Ecology and Life history theory.
The concepts of her Community structure study are interwoven with issues in Species evenness, Species richness and Trophic level.
