Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Genus
Zoology

Charles D. Michener focuses on Zoology, Ecology, Hymenoptera, Nest and Eusociality. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Meganomiinae, Bionomics and Pollen. His study in the field of Colletidae, Pollinator and Panama is also linked to topics like Distribution and Earth.

His study on Apidae is often connected to Odor as part of broader study in Hymenoptera. His Eusociality research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Halictinae and Xylocopinae. The concepts of his Apinae study are interwoven with issues in Centris, Pollen basket, Meliponula, Stingless bee and Melittology.

His most cited work include:

A statistical method for evaluating systematic relationships (3507 citations)
The Bees of the World (2239 citations)
The Social Behavior of the Bees (727 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Hymenoptera, Ecology, Genus and Apoidea. Charles D. Michener regularly ties together related areas like Larva in his Zoology studies. His Hymenoptera study incorporates themes from Megachilidae and Taxonomy.

His study in Nest, Systematics, Key and Fauna falls under the purview of Ecology. The Systematics study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology and Ecology. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Xylocopinae and Allodapini.

He most often published in these fields:

Zoology (55.46%)
Hymenoptera (49.73%)
Ecology (22.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1992-2017)?

Hymenoptera (49.73%)
Zoology (55.46%)
Apidae (9.29%)

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

Charles D. Michener spends much of his time researching Hymenoptera, Zoology, Apidae, Ecology and Genus. His research on Hymenoptera frequently links to adjacent areas such as Taxonomy. His work deals with themes such as Megachilidae, Stelis and Coelioxys, which intersect with Zoology.

His research on Genus also deals with topics like

Stingless bee, which have a strong connection to Centris,
Paratype most often made with reference to Apinae. His Colletidae research includes elements of Penis and Subgenus. His work in the fields of Ceratinidia overlaps with other areas such as Allodapini.

Between 1992 and 2017, his most popular works were:

The Bees of the World (2239 citations)
Economic value of tropical forest to coffee production (549 citations)
The nest architecture of stingless bees with special reference to those of Costa Rica (Hymenoptera, Apidae) (122 citations)

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

Ecology
Genus
Zoology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hymenoptera, Ecology, Zoology, Apidae and Apoidea. Charles D. Michener interconnects Pollination and Nest in the investigation of issues within Hymenoptera. His studies deal with areas such as Megachilidae and Anthidiini as well as Zoology.

His study in Apoidea is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Taxonomy and Beneficial insects. As part of the same scientific family, Charles D. Michener usually focuses on Stingless bee, concentrating on Melittology and intersecting with Pollen basket. His Apinae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Centris, Colletidae and Xylocopinae.
