Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Zoology

Gary F. McCracken focuses on Tadarida brasiliensis, Ecology, Zoology, Predation and Molossidae. His Tadarida brasiliensis research includes elements of Human echolocation, Helicoverpa zea, Insect and Sound production. His Range, Foraging, Insectivore, Cave and Call structure study are his primary interests in Ecology.

His Insectivore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crop, Agriculture, Crop, Ecosystem and White-nose syndrome. His work in the fields of Zoology, such as Pteropodidae, intersects with other areas such as Viral evolution. His Molossidae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Saccopteryx bilineata, Sperm competition, Mating, Mating system and Species richness.

His most cited work include:

  • Economic Importance of Bats in Agriculture (456 citations)
  • Host Phylogeny Constrains Cross-Species Emergence and Establishment of Rabies Virus in Bats (307 citations)
  • Economic value of the pest control service provided by Brazilian free-tailed bats in south-central Texas (246 citations)

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

Ecology, Zoology, Tadarida brasiliensis, Predation and Foraging are his primary areas of study. In his research, Tadarida is intimately related to Human echolocation, which falls under the overarching field of Ecology. Gary F. McCracken combines subjects such as Genetic structure, Genetic variation, Microsatellite and Genetics with his study of Zoology.

Many of his research projects under Tadarida brasiliensis are closely connected to Altitude with Altitude, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Predation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agronomy, Agriculture, Lepidoptera genitalia, Helicoverpa zea and Insect. His Habitat research incorporates elements of Biodiversity and Ecosystem services.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (51.91%)
  • Zoology (27.48%)
  • Tadarida brasiliensis (25.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Zoology (27.48%)
  • Predation (16.03%)
  • Ecology (51.91%)

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

Gary F. McCracken mainly focuses on Zoology, Predation, Ecology, Ecosystem services and Nocturnal. His studies examine the connections between Zoology and genetics, as well as such issues in Human echolocation, with regards to Hibernaculum and Temperate climate. His studies in Predation integrate themes in fields like Tadarida brasiliensis, Insect, Foraging and Abundance.

His Tadarida brasiliensis research includes themes of Torpor, Nuisance wildlife management, Biological dispersal and Range. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Wildlife, Generalist predator, Pest control, Agriculture and Agroecosystem. His Ecosystem services study incorporates themes from Tadarida brasiliensis mexicana and Habitat.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Winter behavior of bats and the progression of white-nose syndrome in the southeastern United States. (34 citations)
  • Predator-prey interaction reveals local effects of high-altitude insect migration (28 citations)
  • How much is enough? Effects of technical and biological replication on metabarcoding dietary analysis. (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Extinction

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Predation, Ecology, Ecosystem services, Zoology and Operationalization. His work carried out in the field of Predation brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Ecological monitoring and DNA. Enhydra lutris, Ecosystem, Trophic level, Biomass and Tadarida brasiliensis are the core of his Ecology study.

His Ecosystem services research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biodiversity, Ecosystem engineer, Habitat, Bison bison and Mammal. He has included themes like Tadarida teniotis, Replication and Faecal pellet in his Zoology study. His Operationalization studies intersect with other subjects such as Subsidy, Environmental resource management and Geological survey.
