Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Biodiversity

Gerardo Ceballos mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Extinction and Mammal. Ecosystem services, Ecosystem, Species diversity, Conservation status and Endangered species are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Marine protected area, Ecology, Conservation biology and Marine mammal.

His studies deal with areas such as Threatened species, Umbrella species, Endemism, Wildlife conservation and Biogeography as well as Species richness. As a part of the same scientific family, Gerardo Ceballos mostly works in the field of Extinction, focusing on Population density and, on occasion, Risk assessment, Range and Population decline. In his work, Population size, Biota and Extinction threshold is strongly intertwined with Extinction event, which is a subfield of Mammal.

His most cited work include:

  • Defaunation in the Anthropocene (1625 citations)
  • Accelerated Modern Human-Induced Species Losses: Entering the Sixth Mass Extinction (1366 citations)
  • Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines (818 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Biodiversity, Endangered species, Habitat and Extinction. His research in Species richness, Ecosystem, Prairie dog, Threatened species and Species diversity are components of Ecology. Gerardo Ceballos combines subjects such as Agroforestry, Ecosystem services, Environmental resource management, IUCN Red List and Conservation biology with his study of Biodiversity.

The various areas that he examines in his Endangered species study include Global biodiversity and Forestry. His Extinction study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Mammal. The concepts of his Mammal study are interwoven with issues in Extinction event and Endemism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (62.42%)
  • Biodiversity (31.54%)
  • Endangered species (15.44%)

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

  • Ecology (62.42%)
  • Biodiversity (31.54%)
  • Extinction (13.42%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Extinction, Threatened species and Habitat. His study in Ecosystem, Species richness, Endangered species, Ecosystem services and Climate change is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. His research on Ecosystem also deals with topics like

  • Wildlife trade most often made with reference to Mammal,
  • Extinction event and related Astrobiology.

His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Agroforestry, Wilderness, Ecology and Apex predator. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxonomic rank, Geospatial analysis and Ecoregion. The Threatened species study combines topics in areas such as Conservation status, Invasive species, Global biodiversity and Introduced species.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines (818 citations)
  • Merging paleobiology with conservation biology to guide the future of terrestrial ecosystems (145 citations)
  • Globally threatened vertebrates on islands with invasive species (60 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Extinction event, Extinction, Threatened species and Ecosystem services. Gerardo Ceballos does research in Ecology, focusing on Biodiversity specifically. His study focuses on the intersection of Biodiversity and fields such as Endangered species with connections in the field of Introduced species, Invasive species and Global biodiversity.

He has included themes like Astrobiology, Mammal and Ecosystem in his Extinction event study. His work investigates the relationship between Threatened species and topics such as Conservation status that intersect with problems in Large population, Megafauna, IUCN protected area categories and IUCN Red List. His studies in Ecosystem services integrate themes in fields like Conservation biology, Wilderness, Adaptive capacity and Land use.
