Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

David M. Post mainly investigates Ecology, Ecosystem, Food chain, Trophic level and Food web. His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Phytoplankton, Ecological inheritance, Biodiversity, Evolutionary ecology and Environmental change. His work deals with themes such as Field and Habitat, Apex predator, which intersect with Food chain.

His Trophic level research includes themes of Isotope analysis and δ13C. His studies in Isotope analysis integrate themes in fields like Lipid metabolism and Biochemistry. The Food web study combines topics in areas such as Watershed, Drainage basin, Hydrology, Water cycle and Hydrology.

His most cited work include:

  • USING STABLE ISOTOPES TO ESTIMATE TROPHIC POSITION: MODELS, METHODS, AND ASSUMPTIONS (4322 citations)
  • Getting to the fat of the matter: models, methods and assumptions for dealing with lipids in stable isotope analyses. (1526 citations)
  • Can stable isotope ratios provide for community-wide measures of trophic structure? (970 citations)

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

David M. Post focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Predation, Alewife and Alosa pseudoharengus. His works in Trophic level, Food chain, Food web, Zooplankton and Intraspecific competition are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. He works mostly in the field of Trophic level, limiting it down to concerns involving Isotope analysis and, occasionally, δ13C.

His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phytoplankton, Nutrient, Biodiversity, Biomass and Aquatic ecosystem. His Predation research focuses on subjects like Foraging, which are linked to Ecological niche and Niche construction. In his study, Fishery and Animal ecology is inextricably linked to Fish migration, which falls within the broad field of Alosa pseudoharengus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (82.69%)
  • Ecosystem (31.73%)
  • Predation (24.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (82.69%)
  • Ecosystem (31.73%)
  • Aquatic ecosystem (8.65%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecosystem, Aquatic ecosystem, Alewife and Fish migration. His study involves Biodiversity, Trophic level, Mesocosm, Intraspecific competition and Mass mortality, a branch of Ecology. His Trophic level research focuses on Zooplankton and how it connects with Lake ecosystem.

His research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Organic matter, Climate change and Phytoplankton. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Resource, Hippopotamus and Biogeochemistry. His Alewife research incorporates elements of Daphnia and Predator.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The ecological importance of intraspecific variation. (262 citations)
  • Context dependency of animal resource subsidies. (31 citations)
  • Organic matter loading by hippopotami causes subsidy overload resulting in downstream hypoxia and fish kills (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

David M. Post mostly deals with Ecosystem, Ecology, Hydrology, Nutrient and Organic matter. Specifically, his work in Ecosystem is concerned with the study of Lake ecosystem. Ecology is represented through his Biodiversity, Abundance, Intraspecific competition, Ecosystem services and Biomass research.

His Biodiversity research includes elements of Predation, Genetic algorithm, Coevolution and Food chain. He has included themes like Productivity, Primary production and River ecosystem in his Nutrient study. His research integrates issues of Aquatic ecosystem, Fish kill and Hippopotamus in his study of Organic matter.
