Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Crocuta crocuta, Ecology, Predation, Foraging and Hyena. Heribert Hofer combines subjects such as Clan, Internal medicine, Mate choice and Endocrinology with his study of Crocuta crocuta. His work deals with themes such as Biological dispersal and Reproductive success, which intersect with Ecology.

In his study, Equus, Territoriality and Kleptoparasitism is inextricably linked to Wildebeest, which falls within the broad field of Predation. His Foraging research integrates issues from Animal ecology and Predator. His studies in Hyena integrate themes in fields like Intraspecific competition, Wildlife, Rabies virus, Rabies and Disease.

His most cited work include:

  • The importance of correcting for sampling bias in MaxEnt species distribution models (485 citations)
  • Noninvasive Fecal Monitoring of Glucocorticoids in Spotted Hyenas,Crocuta crocuta ☆ (198 citations)
  • Noninvasive Fecal Monitoring of Glucocorticoids in Spotted Hyenas,Crocuta crocuta ☆ (198 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Zoology, Crocuta crocuta, Hyena and Predation. Many of his studies on Ecology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Biological dispersal. His Zoology study incorporates themes from Range, Juvenile and Reproduction.

While the research belongs to areas of Crocuta crocuta, Heribert Hofer spends his time largely on the problem of Siblicide, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Litter and Aggression. His Hyena research includes themes of Carnivore, Internal medicine, Feces and Outbreak. His Carnivore research includes elements of Acinonyx jubatus and Canine distemper.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.50%)
  • Zoology (30.50%)
  • Crocuta crocuta (25.00%)

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

  • Zoology (30.50%)
  • Carnivore (17.50%)
  • Ecology (40.50%)

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

His main research concerns Zoology, Carnivore, Ecology, Hyena and Wildlife. His studies deal with areas such as Philopatry, Juvenile, Population genetics and Genetic diversity as well as Zoology. The concepts of his Carnivore study are interwoven with issues in Immune system, Antibody, Immunology, Parasite Infections and Mucin.

Ecology is a component of his Predation, Urban wildlife, Urban ecology and Foraging studies. Heribert Hofer interconnects Virus, Canine distemper and Crocuta crocuta in the investigation of issues within Hyena. His Crocuta crocuta research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in National park and Leptailurus serval.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Innovation in citizen science – perspectives on science-policy advances (25 citations)
  • Queuing, takeovers, and becoming a fat cat: Long‐term data reveal two distinct male spatial tactics at different life‐history stages in Namibian cheetahs (15 citations)
  • Social status mediates the fitness costs of infection with canine distemper virus in Serengeti spotted hyenas. (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Gene

Heribert Hofer mainly investigates Ecology, Hyena, Carnivore, Range and Biological dispersal. Ecology and Brown hare are commonly linked in his work. His research integrates issues of Ingestion, Toxoplasma gondii and Striped hyena in his study of Hyena.

His Carnivore research incorporates themes from Virus, Canine distemper and Negative relationship. His study in Range is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Eurasian lynx, Insectivore, Juvenile and Flagship species. His Biological dispersal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Urbanization, Urban wildlife, Urban ecology, Genetic structure and Vulpes.
