What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Salinity, Invertebrate, Ecosystem and Pesticide.
Biodiversity and Pesticide toxicity are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study.
Ben J. Kefford usually deals with Biodiversity and limits it to topics linked to Soil salinity and Trophic level, STREAMS and Climate change.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Baetidae, Chironomidae, Physa and Animal science.
His Invertebrate research incorporates elements of Taxon, Water quality and Ecotoxicology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Riffle, Environmental monitoring, Ecological indicator and Biomonitoring in addition to Water quality.
His most cited work include:
- Pesticides reduce regional biodiversity of stream invertebrates (339 citations)
- Salinisation of rivers: An urgent ecological issue (310 citations)
- Thresholds for the Effects of Pesticides on Invertebrate Communities and Leaf Breakdown in Stream Ecosystems (161 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Salinity, Invertebrate, Ecosystem and Environmental chemistry are his primary areas of study.
Species richness, Pesticide, Biodiversity, Biomonitoring and Pesticide toxicity are the subjects of his Ecology studies.
His Salinity study incorporates themes from Water quality, Physa and STREAMS.
His Invertebrate research integrates issues from Range, Taxon, Estuary, Freshwater ecosystem and Ecotoxicology.
The various areas that Ben J. Kefford examines in his Ecosystem study include Biomass, Agronomy and Pollution.
His study focuses on the intersection of Environmental chemistry and fields such as Biota with connections in the field of Biotic index.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (67.33%)
- Salinity (56.44%)
- Invertebrate (44.55%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Ecology (67.33%)
- Invertebrate (44.55%)
- Salinity (56.44%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Ecology, Invertebrate, Salinity, Environmental chemistry and Malathion.
In his works, he conducts interdisciplinary research on Ecology and Management practices.
His Invertebrate research incorporates themes from Water quality, Freshwater ecosystem and DNA barcoding.
He interconnects Ecotoxicology, Aquatic insect and Ecosystem in the investigation of issues within Salinity.
The concepts of his Ecosystem study are interwoven with issues in Global change and Soil salinity.
His Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Metal toxicity, Biota and Effluent.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Salt in freshwaters: causes, effects and prospects - introduction to the theme issue. (40 citations)
- Why are mayflies (Ephemeroptera) lost following small increases in salinity? Three conceptual osmophysiological hypotheses. (24 citations)
- Biological interactions mediate context and species-specific sensitivities to salinity (18 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Ben J. Kefford mainly focuses on Ecology, Salinity, Ecosystem, Abundance and Species richness.
In general Ecology study, his work on Ecosystem management and Water quality often relates to the realm of Stressor, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Ecosystem management study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Global change, Ecosystem level and Soil salinity.
The Water quality study combines topics in areas such as Diatom, Benthic zone and Biomonitoring.
His Biomonitoring study combines topics in areas such as Aquatic ecosystem and Wet season.
Many of his studies on Abundance involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Mayfly.
