Overview

Elena L. Zvereva is affiliated with the University of Turku in Finland and specializes in research within environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work primarily focuses on various aspects of ecology, including nature and landscape conservation, ecological modeling, and the study of ecological, evolutionary, behavioral, and systematic processes.

Their research covers multiple interconnected topics such as:

  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
  • Plant and Animal Studies
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Forest Insect Ecology and Management
  • Fire Effects on Ecosystems
  • Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies
  • Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies

Zvereva has contributed to several peer-reviewed papers, notable among which are:

  • "Latitudinal gradient in the intensity of biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems: Sources of variation and differences from the diversity gradient revealed by meta-analysis," published in 2021 in Ecology Letters
  • "Biases in ecological research: attitudes of scientists and ways of control," published in 2021 in Scientific Reports
  • "Latitudinal pattern in community-wide herbivory does not match the pattern in herbivory averaged across common plant species," published in 2020 in Journal of Ecology
  • "Predation risk estimated on live and artificial insect prey follows different patterns," published in 2022 in Ecology
  • "Top-down factors contribute to differences in insect herbivory between saplings and mature trees in boreal and tropical forests," published in 2020 in Oecologia

Zvereva frequently publishes in scientific journals including:

  • Ecology Letters
  • Insects
  • Scientific Reports
  • Oecologia
  • Insect Science

Their collaborative work often involves coauthors such as Mikhail V. Kozlov, Vitali Zverev, Bastien Castagneyrol, Juan Antonio Hernández-Agüero, and Natalia A. Zubrii.
