Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Predation, Schistocerca, Acrididae and Desert locust. His research ties Evolutionary biology and Ecology together. His research investigates the connection between Predation and topics such as Grasshopper that intersect with issues in Herbivore, Ungulate, Rangeland and Biodiversity.

As part of the same scientific family, Gregory A. Sword usually focuses on Schistocerca, concentrating on Orthoptera and intersecting with Density dependent and Rubus trivialis. His Desert locust research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Host plants and Environmental planning. His Locust study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Collective motion, Allopatric speciation and Vicariance.

His most cited work include:

  • Polyphenism in insects. (228 citations)
  • Cannibal crickets on a forced march for protein and salt (219 citations)
  • Evaluation of potential reference genes for reverse transcription-qPCR studies of physiological responses in Drosophila melanogaster. (217 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Locust, Zoology, Insect and Botany. Ecology is closely attributed to Biological dispersal in his research. His Locust research includes themes of Australian plague locust, Gene, Cannibalism and Phenotypic plasticity.

His research in Australian plague locust intersects with topics in Gene expression and Chortoicetes terminifera. His biological study deals with issues like Host, which deal with fields such as Gene flow. His Insect research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hemiptera and Resistance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (51.77%)
  • Locust (24.11%)
  • Zoology (14.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Zoology (14.89%)
  • Insect (13.48%)
  • PEST analysis (7.09%)

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

His main research concerns Zoology, Insect, PEST analysis, Magnetoreception and Hemiptera. Gregory A. Sword has included themes like Population genomics, Curculionidae, Anthonomus, Host and Gene flow in his Zoology study. In his study, Ecology, Caterpillar and Foraging is inextricably linked to Resistance, which falls within the broad field of Insect.

His Ecology study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Melanaphis sacchari with Melanaphis sacchari, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Genome research incorporates themes from Desert locust and Locust.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • First transgenic trait for control of plant bugs and thrips in cotton (14 citations)
  • Integrated modelling of the life cycle and aeroecology of wind-borne pests in temporally-variable spatially-heterogeneous environment (13 citations)
  • First draft genome assembly of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria. (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Insect, Magnetoreception, PEST analysis and Hemiptera. His studies deal with areas such as Phototaxis, Schistocerca and Molecular ecology as well as Evolutionary biology. His studies in Insect integrate themes in fields like Agronomy, Lint, Species complex, Pentatomidae and Green stink bug.

His work focuses on many connections between PEST analysis and other disciplines, such as Genetic variation, that overlap with his field of interest in Miridae. His Hemiptera study deals with Chemical control intersecting with Integrated pest management. The subject of his Integrated pest management research is within the realm of Ecology.
