Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Biodiversity, Biomass, Spatial heterogeneity and Community. His work on Range as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Full model, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Biodiversity, concentrating on Ecosystem and intersecting with Community structure, Community composition, Niche and Habitat fragmentation.

The various areas that Brett A. Melbourne examines in his Biomass study include Ecology, Species richness, Landscape connectivity and Ecosystem services. His studies in Spatial heterogeneity integrate themes in fields like Beta diversity, Competition, Abiotic component and Introduced species. His Community research focuses on Grassland and how it connects with Fertilizer, Productivity and Terrestrial ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems (1359 citations)
  • The spatial spread of invasions: new developments in theory and evidence (707 citations)
  • Herbivores and nutrients control grassland plant diversity via light limitation (413 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Species richness and Habitat fragmentation. His Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Biological dispersal. The study incorporates disciplines such as Trophic level, Niche and Vegetation type in addition to Ecosystem.

His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Community and Competition. His work deals with themes such as Plant community, Ecology, Relative species abundance and Common species, which intersect with Species richness. Brett A. Melbourne works mostly in the field of Habitat fragmentation, limiting it down to topics relating to Fragmentation and, in certain cases, Landscape ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (82.56%)
  • Ecosystem (27.91%)
  • Biodiversity (24.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Competition (10.47%)
  • Biological dispersal (16.28%)
  • Interspecific competition (4.65%)

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

Brett A. Melbourne spends much of his time researching Competition, Biological dispersal, Interspecific competition, Econometrics and Range. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Ecology and Biological dispersal. Ecology and Deforestation are two areas of study in which Brett A. Melbourne engages in interdisciplinary research.

His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology, Abundance, Intraspecific competition, Metacommunity and Community as well as Interspecific competition. His study looks at the relationship between Econometrics and topics such as Stochastic modelling, which overlap with Ricker model and Habitat. His Range research incorporates elements of Stochastic process, Fixation, Variance and Economic geography.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • When can competition and dispersal lead to checkerboard distributions (12 citations)
  • Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of range expansion (6 citations)
  • Stochastic processes drive rapid genomic divergence during experimental range expansions (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

Biological dispersal, Range, Stochastic process, Genetic drift and Biological system are his primary areas of study. His Biological dispersal study often links to related topics such as Community. His Community research integrates issues from Metacommunity, Competition and Interspecific competition.

His Competition research includes elements of Evolutionary biology and Abundance. Context is connected with Ecology, Economic geography, Variance, Fixation and Trait in his research. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Field.
