Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Daphnia magna, Cladocera, Toxicology and Ecotoxicology are his primary areas of study. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and DNA sequencing. His Daphnia magna course of study focuses on Aquatic animal and Pollutant and Chlorella vulgaris.

As part of one scientific family, Donald J. Baird deals mainly with the area of Cladocera, narrowing it down to issues related to the Daphnia, and often Environmental chemistry, Speciation and Algae. His Toxicology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Branchiopoda, Bioassay and Acute toxicity. He has researched Ecotoxicology in several fields, including Mode of action and Pyrethroid.

His most cited work include:

  • Environmental barcoding: a next-generation sequencing approach for biomonitoring applications using river benthos. (414 citations)
  • Biomonitoring 2.0: a new paradigm in ecosystem assessment made possible by next‐generation DNA sequencing (267 citations)
  • The Daphnia bioassay: a critique (229 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Daphnia magna, Toxicology, Zoology and Ecosystem. Predation, Biodiversity, Habitat, Biomonitoring and Benthic zone are among the areas of Ecology where Donald J. Baird concentrates his study. His work carried out in the field of Biodiversity brings together such families of science as Environmental change, Species richness and DNA sequencing.

His study in Daphnia magna is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic variability, Cladocera and Daphnia. His Toxicology research incorporates elements of Pesticide, Bioassay, Toxicant and Acute toxicity. In his study, Ecological risk and Food web is strongly linked to Environmental resource management, which falls under the umbrella field of Ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (45.31%)
  • Daphnia magna (18.23%)
  • Toxicology (19.27%)

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

  • Ecology (45.31%)
  • Ecosystem (14.58%)
  • Biodiversity (10.94%)

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

Donald J. Baird mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Wetland and Biomonitoring. His Ecology and Occupancy, Floodplain and Invertebrate investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. As part of his studies on Invertebrate, Donald J. Baird frequently links adjacent subjects like Zoology.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Watershed, Flood myth, Aquatic ecosystem and Environmental resource management. His Biodiversity study also includes fields such as

  • Environmental change together with Omics, Ecology, Systems biology and Ecotoxicology,
  • Identification and related Taxon, Taxonomy and Introduced species. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Species richness, Benthos, Benthic zone and Bioindicator.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Identifying North American freshwater invertebrates using DNA barcodes: are existing COI sequence libraries fit for purpose? (43 citations)
  • Omics Advances in Ecotoxicology (37 citations)
  • Studying Ecosystems With DNA Metabarcoding:Lessons From Biomonitoring of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Donald J. Baird focuses on Data science, Ecosystem, Ecology, Biodiversity and Identification. Donald J. Baird interconnects Environmental planning, Environmental change, Ecology, Systems biology and Ecotoxicology in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem. Benthic zone and Occupancy are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study.

His Benthic zone research includes themes of DNA extraction, Species richness, Surface water and Bioindicator. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Omics and Metagenomics. As a part of the same scientific study, Donald J. Baird usually deals with the Identification, concentrating on Trophic level and frequently concerns with Ecosystem health.
