Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

David W. Steadman mainly investigates Ecology, Extinction, Prehistory, Quaternary and Fauna. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biological dispersal and Radiocarbon dating. His work is dedicated to discovering how Extinction, Biodiversity are connected with Megalonychidae, Climate change and Before Present and other disciplines.

His Prehistory research is within the category of Archaeology. His research investigates the connection with Quaternary and areas like Cave which intersect with concerns in Anthropogenic factor, Extinct species and Indigenous. His Fauna research incorporates themes from Artifact and Pleistocene.

His most cited work include:

  • A Phylogenomic Study of Birds Reveals Their Evolutionary History (1437 citations)
  • Prehistoric Extinctions of Pacific Island Birds: Biodiversity Meets Zooarchaeology (625 citations)
  • Asynchronous extinction of late Quaternary sloths on continents and islands (174 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Archaeology, Pleistocene, Extinction and Holocene. His Ecology research integrates issues from Prehistory and Quaternary. The Prehistory study combines topics in areas such as Period and Gallirallus.

His research in Archaeology intersects with topics in Hutia and Range. His Extinction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endemism, Biodiversity, Genus and Interglacial. David W. Steadman has included themes like Glacial period and Sea level in his Holocene study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (56.38%)
  • Archaeology (23.49%)
  • Pleistocene (16.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (56.38%)
  • Pleistocene (16.11%)
  • Zoology (14.77%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Pleistocene, Zoology, Biodiversity and Biogeography. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Extinction, Ancient DNA, Holocene and Radiocarbon dating. His Extinction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Caracara and Eagle.

His Pleistocene study combines topics in areas such as Loxia megaplaga, Quaternary, Athene and Humanities. His work in the fields of Tarsometatarsus, Subspecies, Gallicolumba and Colubridae overlaps with other areas such as Leptotyphlopidae. His study in Biodiversity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Iridaceae and Botany.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tropical ancient DNA reveals relationships of the extinct Bahamian giant tortoise Chelonoidis alburyorum. (32 citations)
  • Geographical ecology of dry forest tree communities in the West Indies (12 citations)
  • Origin, paleoecology, and extirpation of bluebirds and crossbills in the Bahamas across the last glacial-interglacial transition. (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Paleontology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Ancient DNA, Biogeography, Radiocarbon dating and Biodiversity. David W. Steadman conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Ecology and Context through his works. His Ancient DNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Extinct in the wild, Biological dispersal and Tortoise, Chelonoidis.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endemism, Nestedness, Plant community, Community and Beta diversity. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Caracara, Paleozoology, Extinction and Assemblage. The study incorporates disciplines such as Loxia megaplaga and Holocene in addition to Archipelago.
