What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Habitat
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Herbivore, Range, Population density and Population cycle.
His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Vole and Animal science.
He interconnects Niche and Foraging in the investigation of issues within Herbivore.
His Range research incorporates elements of Fecundity and Host.
His work investigates the relationship between Population density and topics such as Density dependence that intersect with problems in Seasonality, Overwintering, Population size and Standard error.
The concepts of his Population cycle study are interwoven with issues in Trophic level, Magnitude, Field and Spatial ecology.
His most cited work include:
- Long-term datasets in biodiversity research and monitoring: assessing change in ecological communities through time (496 citations)
- Regression analysis of spatial data (417 citations)
- Analysis of aggregation, a worked example: numbers of ticks on red grouse chicks (310 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
David A. Elston mainly investigates Ecology, Statistics, Herbivore, Animal science and Grazing.
In his work, Density dependence is strongly intertwined with Population density, which is a subfield of Ecology.
His work in the fields of Statistics, such as Covariate, Bayesian inference and Bayesian probability, overlaps with other areas such as Estimation.
Many of his studies on Herbivore apply to Nutrient as well.
His Grazing study is related to the wider topic of Agronomy.
The various areas that David A. Elston examines in his Biodiversity study include Ecology, Climate change and Environmental resource management.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (43.42%)
- Statistics (15.79%)
- Herbivore (11.18%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?
- Ecology (43.42%)
- Biodiversity (9.21%)
- Biological dispersal (3.29%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
David A. Elston mostly deals with Ecology, Biodiversity, Biological dispersal, Climate change and Abundance.
He combines subjects such as Population growth and Extinction with his study of Ecology.
David A. Elston has included themes like Statistics, Linear regression and Population size in his Population growth study.
His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Environmental resource management, Set, Genetic diversity and Ecosystem services.
His work deals with themes such as Scale, Atmospheric sciences, Density dependent and Riparian zone, which intersect with Biological dispersal.
As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Climate change, concentrating on Breeding bird survey and frequently concerns with Anomaly, Generalized additive model, Additive model and Econometrics.
Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Europe-wide dampening of population cycles in keystone herbivores (173 citations)
- Phenological trends and trophic mismatch across multiple levels of a North Sea pelagic food web (58 citations)
- A demographic, spatially explicit patch occupancy model of metapopulation dynamics and persistence (49 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Ecosystem
David A. Elston mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Population growth, Trophic level and Extinction.
David A. Elston has researched Ecology in several fields, including Biological dispersal and Vole.
His Biological dispersal research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fragmentation, Bayesian probability and Occupancy.
His Vole study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Herbivore and Population cycle.
His Trophic level research incorporates themes from Ammodytes, Kittiwake, Predation, Seabird and Pelagic zone.
His studies deal with areas such as Arvicola, Patch dynamics, Population size and Colonization as well as Extinction.
