Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, African elephant, Range, Ecosystem and Ecology. His Ecology research integrates issues from Spatial distribution, Fishery and Autocorrelation. In his research, CITES, Wildlife trade and Ivory is intimately related to Poaching, which falls under the overarching field of African elephant.

His research investigates the connection between Range and topics such as Land use that intersect with issues in Environmental protection, Fauna and Ivory trade. Ecosystem is closely attributed to Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in his study. His Ecology research includes elements of Nutrient cycle, Anthropocene, Terrestrial ecosystem and Footprint.

His most cited work include:

  • The socioecology of elephants: analysis of the processes creating multitiered social structures (407 citations)
  • Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements (350 citations)
  • Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements (350 citations)

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

Ecology, African elephant, Wildlife, Poaching and Ecosystem are his primary areas of study. His Foraging, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Seasonality, Habitat and Ecology study are his primary interests in Ecology. His African elephant study incorporates themes from Range, Protected area, Home range and Wildlife management.

His Range study combines topics in areas such as Physical geography and Threatened species. Iain Douglas-Hamilton has researched Wildlife in several fields, including Agroforestry, Archaeology, Environmental resource management, Radio tracking and Beehive. His studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Habitat fragmentation, Agriculture, Livelihood, Crop and Beekeeping.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (71.63%)
  • African elephant (36.17%)
  • Wildlife (35.46%)

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

  • Ecology (71.63%)
  • African elephant (36.17%)
  • Poaching (23.40%)

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

Iain Douglas-Hamilton mainly investigates Ecology, African elephant, Poaching, Demography and Wildlife. His is doing research in Foraging, Terrestrial ecosystem, Ecosystem, Human–wildlife conflict and Nocturnal, both of which are found in Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Tusk, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Seasonality as well as Terrestrial ecosystem.

The Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Anthropocene and Footprint. His study in African elephant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Range, Home range, Gps telemetry and Radio tracking. His Wildlife research focuses on subjects like Fishery, which are linked to Culvert.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements (350 citations)
  • Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements (350 citations)
  • Night-day speed ratio of elephants as indicator of poaching levels (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Iain Douglas-Hamilton mainly focuses on Ecology, African elephant, Demography, Poaching and Footprint. His study in the field of Foraging also crosses realms of Betweenness centrality. His Foraging research incorporates themes from Tracking data and Mortality data.

Iain Douglas-Hamilton has included themes like Range, Keystone species, Home range and Social group in his African elephant study. The various areas that he examines in his Footprint study include Nutrient cycle, Ecosystem, Ecology and Anthropocene. Ecology connects with themes related to Terrestrial ecosystem in his study.
