Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Species richness, Species diversity, Biodiversity and Plant community. His Ecology and Abundance, Range, Guild, Community and Limiting similarity investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Vegetation dynamics, Vegetation, Habitat and Introduced species.

His Vegetation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental change and Ecological succession. The various areas that he examines in his Species diversity study include Biomass and Statistics. J. Bastow Wilson has included themes like Invasive species, Perturbation, Phytoplankton and Native plant in his Plant community study.

His most cited work include:

  • Functional richness, functional evenness and functional divergence: the primary components of functional diversity (976 citations)
  • A consumer's guide to evenness indices (874 citations)
  • Positive-feedback Switches in Plant Communities (612 citations)

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

J. Bastow Wilson mainly investigates Ecology, Species richness, Vegetation, Plant community and Community structure. His work in Species diversity, Introduced species, Range, Null model and Guild is related to Ecology. His Species diversity study incorporates themes from Dominance and Biodiversity.

In the field of Species richness, his study on Species evenness overlaps with subjects such as Productivity. His Vegetation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ordination and Ecological succession. His Plant community research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Abundance, Grassland, Competition, Plant ecology and Community.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (86.47%)
  • Species richness (27.65%)
  • Vegetation (25.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2019)?

  • Ecology (86.47%)
  • Species richness (27.65%)
  • Vegetation (25.29%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Species richness, Vegetation, Biodiversity and Plant community. J. Bastow Wilson focuses mostly in the field of Ecology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Spatial analysis and, in certain cases, Guild. His work on Body size and species richness as part of general Species richness study is frequently linked to Productivity, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His biological study deals with issues like Ecological succession, which deal with fields such as Shrub, Pinus and Floristics. His Biodiversity research includes themes of Remote sensing, Soil science, Ecology and Species diversity. The study incorporates disciplines such as Abundance, Ecosystem, Disturbance, Introduced species and Nothofagus in addition to Plant community.

Between 2011 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Plant species richness: the world records (424 citations)
  • Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness (199 citations)
  • Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness (199 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Habitat

Ecology, Species richness, Community structure, Species diversity and Biodiversity are his primary areas of study. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Plant community, Community, Range, Quadrat and Competition. His Plant community study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecological succession, Disturbance and Introduced species.

His work carried out in the field of Range brings together such families of science as Biomass, Ecology and Grassland. The Competition study combines topics in areas such as Null model, Assembly rules and Pseudoreplication. His Community structure research includes themes of Distance decay and Randomness.
