Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Lycaeides, Ecological speciation and Biodiversity. His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Niche, Range and Ecology, overlaps with other areas such as Specialization and Variation. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Morphometrics, Natural selection, Selection, Mutation and Phylogeography.

His research in Lycaeides intersects with topics in Genetics and Genetic variation. His studies deal with areas such as Allopatric speciation, Incipient speciation and Heteropatric speciation as well as Ecological speciation. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Host, Species richness, Butterfly and Adaptive radiation.

His most cited work include:

  • The Ecology of Individuals: Incidence and Implications of Individual Specialization (1787 citations)
  • Plant genotypic diversity predicts community structure and governs an ecosystem process. (602 citations)
  • MEASURING INDIVIDUAL-LEVEL RESOURCE SPECIALIZATION (427 citations)

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

James A. Fordyce mainly focuses on Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Butterfly, Lycaeides and Herbivore. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Biodiversity, Range, Host, Climate change and Habitat. His Evolutionary biology study which covers Genetic variation that intersects with Phylogeography.

His Butterfly research integrates issues from Species richness and ANT. His Lycaeides research incorporates themes from Genetics, Ecological speciation, Hybrid zone and Reproductive isolation. His work deals with themes such as Generalist and specialist species and Caterpillar, which intersect with Herbivore.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (70.23%)
  • Evolutionary biology (22.90%)
  • Butterfly (19.08%)

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

  • Ecology (70.23%)
  • Butterfly (19.08%)
  • Host (12.98%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Butterfly, Host, Medicago sativa and Evolutionary biology. His study in Climate change, Land use, Range, Species richness and Mutualism is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Butterfly brings together such families of science as Habitat, Understory, Canopy, Tree canopy and Insect.

As a part of the same scientific family, James A. Fordyce mostly works in the field of Host, focusing on Hemlock woolly adelgid and, on occasion, Introduced species. He has included themes like Microbiome, Phytochemical and Herbivore in his Medicago sativa study. James A. Fordyce performs integrative Evolutionary biology and Specialization research in his work.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Extreme heterogeneity of population response to climatic variation and the limits of prediction (18 citations)
  • Insects and recent climate change (9 citations)
  • Pesticide Contamination of Milkweeds Across the Agricultural, Urban, and Open Spaces of Low-Elevation Northern California (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Habitat

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Butterfly, Climate change, Habitat and Land use. His study in Guild and Taxon is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. His Butterfly research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Understory, Canopy, Tree canopy, Tropics and Insect.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bayesian hierarchical modeling, Spatial heterogeneity, Phenology and Abiotic component. His research integrates issues of Habitat destruction, Range, Anthropocene and Extreme weather in his study of Land use.
