Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Heraldo L. Vasconcelos mainly investigates Ecology, Species richness, Habitat, Amazon rainforest and Biodiversity. His study in Litter, Forest floor, Ecosystem, Habitat fragmentation and Forest ecology is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. The various areas that Heraldo L. Vasconcelos examines in his Ecosystem study include Amazonian forest and Forestry.

His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Abundance, Basal area, Fauna, Arboreal locomotion and Species diversity. His study in Habitat focuses on Landscape ecology in particular. His Biodiversity research includes themes of Cephalotes and Land use.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecosystem Decay of Amazonian Forest Fragments: a 22-Year Investigation (1344 citations)
  • Matrix habitat and species richness in tropical forest remnants (667 citations)
  • The fate of Amazonian forest fragments: A 32-year investigation (536 citations)

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

Heraldo L. Vasconcelos mainly focuses on Ecology, Habitat, Species richness, Biodiversity and Herbivore. Borrowing concepts from Myrmecophyte, Heraldo L. Vasconcelos weaves in ideas under Ecology. His study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Old-growth forest, Biological dispersal, Predation and Forest ecology.

He has researched Species richness in several fields, including Global biodiversity, Fauna, Transect, Vegetation and Species diversity. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Taxon, Agroforestry, Fire regime and Land use. His Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atta laevigata, Insect and Melastomataceae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (73.86%)
  • Habitat (25.57%)
  • Species richness (22.16%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (73.86%)
  • Species richness (22.16%)
  • Biodiversity (21.59%)

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

Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Arboreal locomotion and Habitat are his primary areas of study. All of his Ecology and ANT, Ecosystem, Abundance, Interspecific competition and Foraging investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. His Abundance study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Canopy and Ecosystem engineer.

His Species richness study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biodiversity hotspot, Tropical savanna climate, Fauna, Species diversity and Spatial ecology. His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Insect, Fire regime and Temperate climate. His work carried out in the field of Habitat brings together such families of science as Fragmentation and Relative species abundance, Relative abundance distribution.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Neotropical savanna ants show a reversed latitudinal gradient of species richness, with climatic drivers reflecting the forest origin of the fauna (37 citations)
  • Global climate change increases risk of crop yield losses and food insecurity in the tropical Andes. (32 citations)
  • Habitat disturbance selects against both small and large species across varying climates (26 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

Heraldo L. Vasconcelos mostly deals with Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Habitat and ANT. In his works, Heraldo L. Vasconcelos conducts interdisciplinary research on Ecology and Harbour. He usually deals with Species richness and limits it to topics linked to Tropical savanna climate and Species diversity, Generalist and specialist species, Fauna and Global biodiversity.

His Biodiversity research incorporates themes from Conservation biology, Socioeconomic status and Atlantic forest. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biotic component, Abiotic component, Climate change, Effects of global warming and Ecosystem. Heraldo L. Vasconcelos combines subjects such as Spatial ecology, Ecological network, Primary production and Geographical distance with his study of ANT.
