Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Colin R. Townsend is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Sediment, Disturbance (geology) and Species richness. Sediment connects with themes related to Paleontology in his study. His research on Ecology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Invertebrate. In his articles, Colin R. Townsend combines various disciplines, including Computer network and STREAMS. He performs multidisciplinary study in STREAMS and Computer network in his work. His research ties Brown trout and Fishery together. His Brown trout study frequently links to other fields, such as Salmo. As part of his studies on Salmo, Colin R. Townsend often connects relevant areas like Fish <Actinopterygii>. Many of his studies on Fish <Actinopterygii> apply to Trout as well.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecology: Individuals, Populations and Communities. (1377 citations)
  • Species traits in relation to a habitat templet for river systems (963 citations)
  • The Patch Dynamics Concept of Stream Community Ecology (810 citations)

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

Brown trout, Trout and Salmo are the subject areas of his Fish <Actinopterygii> study. His Trout study typically links adjacent topics like Fishery. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Brown trout and Fishery. His research links Fish <Actinopterygii> with Salmo. In his papers, he integrates diverse fields, such as Ecology and Zoology. Colin R. Townsend combines Zoology and Ecology in his studies. He integrates many fields in his works, including Computer network and STREAMS. While working on this project, he studies both STREAMS and Computer network. Colin R. Townsend combines Invertebrate and Predation in his research.

Colin R. Townsend most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (97.08%)
  • Computer network (33.58%)
  • STREAMS (32.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2017)?

  • Ecology (100.00%)
  • Paleontology (57.14%)
  • Sediment (50.00%)

In recent works Colin R. Townsend was focusing on the following fields of study:

Colin R. Townsend focuses mostly in the field of Flood myth, narrowing it down to matters related to Archaeology and, in some cases, Natural (archaeology). In his work, Colin R. Townsend performs multidisciplinary research in Natural (archaeology) and Archaeology. He connects Ecology with Zoology in his research. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Zoology and Ecology. His Microcosm research extends to the thematically linked field of Paleontology. In his works, Colin R. Townsend undertakes multidisciplinary study on Microcosm and Ecosystem. His study deals with a combination of Ecosystem and Eutrophication. His Sediment study frequently links to other fields, such as Paleontology. By researching both Benthic zone and Benthos, he produces research that crosses academic boundaries.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Reconceptualizing synergism and antagonism among multiple stressors (399 citations)
  • A comparative analysis reveals weak relationships between ecological factors and beta diversity of stream insect metacommunities at two spatial levels (150 citations)
  • Climate warming and agricultural stressors interact to determine stream macroinvertebrate community dynamics (131 citations)

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

  • Ecosystem
  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity

His Paleontology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Sediment and Species richness. Colin R. Townsend regularly links together related areas like Paleontology in his Sediment studies. Species richness and Habitat are two areas of study in which Colin R. Townsend engages in interdisciplinary work. As part of his studies on Habitat, Colin R. Townsend frequently links adjacent subjects like Aquatic insect. As part of his research on Nutrient, studies on Mesocosm, Eutrophication and Periphyton are part of the effort. His Mesocosm study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Nutrient. He undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Eutrophication and Ecosystem in his work. With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Ecosystem and Periphyton. His studies link Assemblage (archaeology) with Ecology.
