Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

His main research concerns Ecology, Herbivore, Foraging, Generalist and specialist species and Optimal foraging theory. His Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Risk aversion. Gary E. Belovsky interconnects National park and Food plant in the investigation of issues within Risk aversion.

His Herbivore study which covers Forb that intersects with Weaning, Deciduous and Reproduction. He combines subjects such as Statistics and Habitat with his study of Foraging. His study in Abundance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nutrient cycle, Agronomy and Plant litter.

His most cited work include:

  • Diet optimization in a generalist herbivore: The moose (517 citations)
  • The spread of invasive species and infectious disease as drivers of ecosystem change (359 citations)
  • Insect herbivory accelerates nutrient cycling and increases plant production (275 citations)

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

Gary E. Belovsky spends much of his time researching Ecology, Foraging, Herbivore, Optimal foraging theory and Grasshopper. His work in Abundance, Predation, Ecosystem, National park and Habitat are all subfields of Ecology research. His study on Foraging also encompasses disciplines like

  • Generalist and specialist species together with Community structure,
  • Competition which connect with Allometry.

His Herbivore research incorporates elements of Biomass, Rainforest, Light gap and Litter. His Optimal foraging theory study also includes

  • Statistics and related Maximization,
  • Food plant most often made with reference to Risk aversion. His study looks at the relationship between Grasshopper and fields such as Acrididae, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (94.67%)
  • Foraging (33.33%)
  • Herbivore (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Ecology (94.67%)
  • Herbivore (33.33%)
  • Ecosystem (13.33%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Herbivore, Ecosystem, Brine shrimp and Abiotic component. His work in Salinity, Predation, Food web, Habitat and Abundance is related to Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Rainforest, Species richness and Light gap, which intersect with Herbivore.

His Species richness study incorporates themes from Trophic cascade, Odocoileus, Foraging and Forb. His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Productivity, Grassland, Agronomy and Climate change. His Abiotic component research includes themes of Botany, Orthoptera, Entomophaga grylli, Fungal pathogen and Grasshopper.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Natural and experimental tests of trophic cascades: gray wolves and white-tailed deer in a Great Lakes forest. (21 citations)
  • Grasshoppers affect grassland ecosystem functioning: Spatial and temporal variation (16 citations)
  • Fear and loathing in a Great Lakes forest: cascading effects of competition between wolves and coyotes (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Predation, Herbivore, Deer mouse and Peromyscus. His research on Ecology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Spatial variability. The various areas that Gary E. Belovsky examines in his Predation study include Exclosure, Odocoileus, Species richness and Foraging.

He has researched Herbivore in several fields, including Biomass, Disturbance, Decomposer, Understory and Rainforest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vulpes, Urocyon and Habitat.
