Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Paleontology, Equus, Late Miocene and Pleistocene. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neogene and Cenozoic. He has included themes like Equidae, Cladogenesis and Species diversity in his Neogene study.

The various areas that Bruce J. MacFadden examines in his Cenozoic study include Biomass, Physical geography and Climate change, Paleoclimatology. He combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology and Family tree with his study of Equus. His Pleistocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Terrestrial plant, Mammal, Terrestrial ecosystem and Biome.

His most cited work include:

  • Global vegetation change through the Miocene/Pliocene boundary (1522 citations)
  • Rise of the Andes. (464 citations)
  • Rapid late Miocene rise of the Bolivian Altiplano: Evidence for removal of mantle lithosphere (295 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Ecology, Fauna, Pleistocene and Late Miocene. Within one scientific family, Bruce J. MacFadden focuses on topics pertaining to Panama under Paleontology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Biodiversity. Ecology is represented through his Herbivore, Niche differentiation, Habitat, Equidae and Ecosystem research.

His Fauna study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Range. Bruce J. MacFadden interconnects Taxon and Equus in the investigation of issues within Pleistocene. His Paleomagnetism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stratigraphy and Geochronology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (51.26%)
  • Ecology (23.12%)
  • Fauna (16.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Public relations (2.51%)
  • Paleontology (51.26%)
  • Citizen science (1.51%)

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

Bruce J. MacFadden mainly focuses on Public relations, Paleontology, Citizen science, Best practice and Ecology. His Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Art history, Panama and Presentation. His Panama research integrates issues from Range, Foraminifera, Fauna, Geochronology and Biogeography.

While the research belongs to areas of Citizen science, Bruce J. MacFadden spends his time largely on the problem of Archaeology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Paleoecology. His work in the fields of Taxon, Herbivore and Ecosystem overlaps with other areas such as Isotopes of carbon and Isotope fractionation. His Taxon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Equidae, Equus and Pleistocene.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Body mass predicts isotope enrichment in herbivorous mammals (43 citations)
  • Opinion: Why we need a centralized repository for isotopic data (33 citations)
  • Horses in the cloud; big data exploration and mining of fossil and extant Equus (Mammalia, Equidae) (15 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Ecology, Paleontology, Context, Late Miocene and Panama are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Taxon, Ecosystem and Herbivore, intersects with other areas such as Isotope fractionation and Isotopes of carbon. His Taxon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Equidae, Equus and Pleistocene.

His work on Genus Equus as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Big data, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research integrates issues of North American land mammal age, Biodiversity, Chronology, Fossil wood and Paleoecology in his study of Late Miocene. The concepts of his Panama study are interwoven with issues in Range, Foraminifera, Fauna, Geochronology and Biogeography.
