Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Habitat

David C. Culver mostly deals with Ecology, Cave, Elaiosome, Myrmecochory and Fauna. His Ecology course of study focuses on Zoology and Neutral mutation. As a part of the same scientific family, David C. Culver mostly works in the field of Cave, focusing on Habitat and, on occasion, Species diversity.

His studies in Elaiosome integrate themes in fields like Nest and Botany. His work focuses on many connections between Myrmecochory and other disciplines, such as Mutualism, that overlap with his field of interest in Seed dispersal. In his research on the topic of Fauna, Biogeography, Spatial ecology, Species distribution and Range is strongly related with Endemism.

His most cited work include:

  • Regional Coexistence of Species and Competition between Rare Species. (614 citations)
  • Cave Life : Evolution and Ecology (322 citations)
  • MYRMECOCHORY IN VIOLA: DYNAMICS OF SEED-ANT INTERACTIONS IN SOME WEST VIRGINIA SPECIES (243 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Cave, Habitat, Karst and Fauna. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biological dispersal and STREAMS. The Cave study combines topics in areas such as Adaptation, Copepod, Gammarus minus and Biogeography.

His Habitat research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aquatic ecosystem and Endemism. His Karst research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geochemistry, Aquifer, Groundwater and Geomorphology. His work carried out in the field of Fauna brings together such families of science as Obligate and Range.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (62.57%)
  • Cave (47.95%)
  • Habitat (23.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cave (47.95%)
  • Ecology (62.57%)
  • Karst (19.30%)

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

Cave, Ecology, Karst, Habitat and Geochemistry are his primary areas of study. While the research belongs to areas of Cave, he spends his time largely on the problem of Seasonality, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Atmospheric sciences. His study in Species richness, Biodiversity, Invertebrate, Ecosystem and Community structure is carried out as part of his Ecology studies.

His Karst research incorporates elements of Reuse, Aquifer, Groundwater and Engineering management. His Habitat research includes elements of Ecotone, Discontinuity and Plant litter. His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Rock relief, Trace and Cretaceous.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Biology of Caves and Other Subterranean Habitats (127 citations)
  • Scientists' Warning on the Conservation of Subterranean Ecosystems (44 citations)
  • Climate change going deep: The effects of global climatic alterations on cave ecosystems: (29 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Habitat

David C. Culver mainly focuses on Ecology, Cave, Habitat, Biodiversity and Twilight. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Divergent evolution, Diversity and Realm. His studies deal with areas such as Karst, Zoology, Climate change and Ecosystem as well as Cave.

David C. Culver combines subjects such as Taxonomic composition, Fauna and Mammoth with his study of Karst. He studied Ecosystem and Nature Conservation that intersect with Ecology. His Biodiversity research focuses on Groundwater and how it connects with Biogeography.
