Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Predation

Graeme D. Ruxton mainly investigates Ecology, Predation, Crypsis, Foraging and Predator. His Ecology research includes elements of Evolutionary biology, Incubation and Extinction. The Predation study combines topics in areas such as Zoology, Camouflage, Trophic level and Shoal.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Batesian mimicry, Mimicry and Aposematism. His studies in Foraging integrate themes in fields like Prey capture, Vulture and Fishing. His work deals with themes such as Tringa and Accipiter, which intersect with Predator.

His most cited work include:

  • Living in groups (2123 citations)
  • Collective memory and spatial sorting in animal groups. (1399 citations)
  • The unequal variance t-test is an underused alternative to Student's t-test and the Mann–Whitney U test (1072 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Predation, Foraging, Predator and Statistics. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zoology and Evolutionary biology. His Predation research includes themes of Camouflage and Müllerian mimicry.

He works in the field of Statistics, namely Type I and type II errors.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (59.14%)
  • Predation (32.90%)
  • Foraging (12.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Predation (32.90%)
  • Ecology (59.14%)
  • Statistics (9.03%)

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

Graeme D. Ruxton mostly deals with Predation, Ecology, Statistics, Foraging and Type I and type II errors. When carried out as part of a general Predation research project, his work on Predator is frequently linked to work in Coccinella septempunctata, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His research integrates issues of Eavesdropping and Microeconomics in his study of Predator.

As part of his studies on Ecology, Graeme D. Ruxton often connects relevant subjects like Collective behavior. His Type I and type II errors research includes themes of Statistical hypothesis testing, Sample size determination, Algorithm and Statistical power. His Statistical power study deals with Animal ecology intersecting with Cognitive psychology.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A review of thanatosis (death feigning) as an anti-predator behaviour (56 citations)
  • Avoiding Attack: The Evolutionary Ecology of Crypsis, Aposematism, and Mimicry (39 citations)
  • Using Biological Insight and Pragmatism When Thinking about Pseudoreplication. (37 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Predation

Predation, Ecology, Statistics, Predator and Sample are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Natural resource economics, Crop protection and Terrestrial ecosystem. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Empirical evidence, Learning differences and Biological evolution.

His biological study deals with issues like Zoology, which deal with fields such as Sonar, Deep diving, Group living and Cocktail party effect. His Sample study incorporates themes from Sampling bias, Range, Sample size determination and Null hypothesis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural history and Competition in addition to Foraging.
