Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Natural selection

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Optimal foraging theory, Foraging, Natural selection and Evolutionary biology. His study connects Zoology and Ecology. His Optimal foraging theory research includes themes of Animal ecology, Stochastic modelling, Optimal allocation and Minification.

His Foraging study deals with Predator intersecting with Marginal value theorem and Optimality model. His Natural selection research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental sex determination, Sex ratio and Statistics. His Evolutionary biology course of study focuses on Life history theory and Environmental ethics and Primate.

His most cited work include:

  • Optimal foraging, the marginal value theorem. (3958 citations)
  • The theory of sex allocation (2824 citations)
  • Optimal foraging: A selective review of theory and tests (2527 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Sex allocation and Demography. His studies deal with areas such as Statistics and Natural selection as well as Ecology. His research on Statistics frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Optimal foraging theory.

His work deals with themes such as Dioecy and Reproduction, which intersect with Zoology. His research integrates issues of Pollen, Evolutionarily stable strategy and Sex change in his study of Sex allocation. In Demography, Eric L. Charnov works on issues like Sex ratio, which are connected to Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (42.29%)
  • Evolutionary biology (18.86%)
  • Zoology (14.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2017)?

  • Ecology (42.29%)
  • Allometry (12.57%)
  • Body size (12.00%)

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

Eric L. Charnov mostly deals with Ecology, Allometry, Body size, Life history and Evolutionary biology. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Statistics and Growth curve. Eric L. Charnov has included themes like Avian clutch size, Darwinian Fitness and Change sex in his Statistics study.

His Allometry study incorporates themes from Taxonomic rank, Mortality rate, Trade-off and Phylogenetic tree. His Body size research integrates issues from Range, Natural selection and Ectotherm. The various areas that Eric L. Charnov examines in his Evolutionary biology study include Zoology, Grandmother hypothesis, Optimal foraging theory and Sex allocation.

Between 2002 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of Body Size and Temperature on Population Growth (629 citations)
  • ON CLUTCH‐SIZE AND FITNESS (477 citations)
  • A Biosocial Perspective on Paternal Behavior and Involvement (387 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Natural selection

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Allometry, Statistics and Body size. His work on Ecology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Fecundity. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Zoology, Optimal foraging theory, Foraging and Epistemology.

Eric L. Charnov combines subjects such as Taxonomic rank and Phylogenetic tree with his study of Allometry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Avian clutch size and Darwinian Fitness in addition to Statistics. His Body size study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Demography, Reproduction and Life history.
