What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Hibernation, Habitat, Myotis lucifugus and Foraging.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Animal science and Energetic cost.
His Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Species richness and Caterpillar.
His research in Species richness intersects with topics in Avian clutch size, Fledge, Life history theory, Saturation and Brood.
His Myotis lucifugus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hibernaculum, Baseline activity and Disturbance.
His Foraging research incorporates elements of Biomass, Parus, Nest and Predation.
His most cited work include:
- Energy metabolism and animal personality (574 citations)
- Energetic and fitness costs of mismatching resource supply and demand in seasonally breeding birds. (320 citations)
- Climate-mediated energetic constraints on the distribution of hibernating mammals (282 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Donald W. Thomas focuses on Ecology, Animal science, Zoology, Basal metabolic rate and Hibernation.
His research related to Habitat, Nest, Predation, Foraging and Fledge might be considered part of Ecology.
Donald W. Thomas works mostly in the field of Habitat, limiting it down to topics relating to Species richness and, in certain cases, Caterpillar and Brood.
Within one scientific family, Donald W. Thomas focuses on topics pertaining to Metabolic rate under Animal science, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Carollia perspicillata.
His Zoology research incorporates themes from Botany and Reproduction.
His research investigates the connection between Hibernation and topics such as Myotis lucifugus that intersect with problems in Respiration.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (77.08%)
- Animal science (18.75%)
- Zoology (18.75%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2019)?
- Ecology (77.08%)
- Basal metabolic rate (13.54%)
- Passerine (11.46%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Basal metabolic rate, Passerine, Evergreen and Deciduous.
His study in Habitat, Energetics, Mediterranean climate, Range and Fledge falls within the category of Ecology.
His Basal metabolic rate study incorporates themes from Mammal and Energy metabolism.
His work deals with themes such as Energy expenditure and Life history, which intersect with Energy metabolism.
The concepts of his Passerine study are interwoven with issues in Population density and Ovary.
His Evergreen research incorporates themes from Cyanistes, Phenology and Reproduction.
Between 2004 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Energy metabolism and animal personality (574 citations)
- The pace of life under artificial selection: personality, energy expenditure, and longevity are correlated in domestic dogs. (148 citations)
- A Thirty-Year Study of Phenotypic and Genetic Variation of Blue Tits in Mediterranean Habitat Mosaics (119 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Donald W. Thomas mainly focuses on Ecology, Basal metabolic rate, Boldness, Energy metabolism and Big Five personality traits.
His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Niche, Thermoregulation, Energetics, Habitat and Range.
His research in Niche intersects with topics in Abundance, Homeothermy, Torpor, Mammal and Field metabolic rate.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Hoarding and Hibernation in addition to Habitat.
His Basal metabolic rate research integrates issues from Respirometry, Inbreeding, Peromyscus and Heritability.
Donald W. Thomas interconnects Ecology and Energy expenditure in the investigation of issues within Energy metabolism.
