What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Lizard, Predation, Habitat and Foraging.
Ecology, Optimal foraging theory, Species diversity, Niche and Ctenotus are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study.
His studies deal with areas such as Biological evolution and Predator as well as Optimal foraging theory.
His Lizard research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Productivity, Spatial heterogeneity and Competition.
His Habitat study which covers Trophic level that intersects with Ambush predator and Food availability.
His Foraging research incorporates elements of Organism, Resource, Natural selection and Reproductive success.
His most cited work include:
- On Optimal Use of a Patchy Environment (3323 citations)
- On r- and K-Selection (2792 citations)
- The structure of lizard communities (1935 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Eric R. Pianka mainly investigates Ecology, Lizard, Habitat, Ecology and Predation.
His work in Ecology addresses subjects such as Zoology, which are connected to disciplines such as Thermal physiology.
His Lizard course of study focuses on Species diversity and Diversity.
Eric R. Pianka has researched Habitat in several fields, including Arid, Abundance, Ecological succession and Tussock.
His research integrates issues of Environmental ethics, Natural history and Biogeography in his study of Ecology.
When carried out as part of a general Predation research project, his work on Predator is frequently linked to work in Vertebrate, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (74.60%)
- Lizard (28.57%)
- Habitat (23.02%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?
- Ecology (74.60%)
- Lizard (28.57%)
- Niche (11.90%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Eric R. Pianka mainly focuses on Ecology, Lizard, Niche, Ecology and Habitat.
He has included themes like Zoology and Humanities in his Ecology study.
The Lizard study combines topics in areas such as Avian clutch size and Predation.
Eric R. Pianka is studying Optimal foraging theory, which is a component of Predation.
His Habitat study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Isotope analysis and Community structure.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Ctenotus, concentrating on Vegetation and intersecting with Species diversity.
Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- The conservation status of the world's reptiles (490 citations)
- Functional traits, convergent evolution, and periodic tables of niches. (139 citations)
- Optimal foraging constrains macroecological patterns: body size and dietary niche breadth in lizards (58 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His main research concerns Ecology, Lizard, Ecology, Ecological niche and Niche.
Borrowing concepts from Convergent evolution, Eric R. Pianka weaves in ideas under Ecology.
The concepts of his Lizard study are interwoven with issues in Herbivore and Macroecology.
Eric R. Pianka works mostly in the field of Abundance, limiting it down to concerns involving Secondary succession and, occasionally, Species diversity.
His study in Predation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nucras tessellata, Uracentron, Insect ecology and Tupinambis.
He has included themes like Thermal physiology and Sexual dimorphism in his Sauria study.
