1946 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ecosystem, Predation, Species richness and Zooplankton. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Benthic zone, Ecology, Floodplain, Guild and Habitat. James H. Thorp interconnects Tardigrada, Bryozoa, Nemertea, Identification and Invertebrate in the investigation of issues within Ecology.

In the field of Ecosystem, his study on River ecosystem overlaps with subjects such as Hydrogeomorphology, Autotroph and Energy source. The concepts of his Predation study are interwoven with issues in Species evenness, Dragonfly, Water column and Substrate. The various areas that James H. Thorp examines in his Zooplankton study include Rotifer, Pelagic zone, Dreissena and Plankton.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecology and classification of North American freshwater invertebrates (1994 citations)
  • The riverine ecosystem synthesis : Biocomplexity in river networks across space and time (616 citations)
  • The riverine productivity model: an heuristic view of carbon sources and organic processing in large river ecosystems (405 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Habitat, Ecosystem, Invertebrate and Predation. His research in Benthic zone, River ecosystem, Species richness, Ecology and Food web are components of Ecology. His Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Fauna, Wetland and Crustacean.

James H. Thorp has included themes like Biocomplexity, Floodplain and Environmental resource management in his Ecosystem study. His Invertebrate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Crayfish, Aquatic ecosystem and Larva. His research in Predation intersects with topics in Zoology and Dragonfly.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.11%)
  • Habitat (17.22%)
  • Ecosystem (14.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.11%)
  • Habitat (17.22%)
  • Invertebrate (13.89%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Habitat, Invertebrate, River ecosystem and Zoology. His study in Trophic level, Ecosystem, Ecology, Predation and Wetland is done as part of Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Spatial heterogeneity and Crustacean.

His study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Benthic zone, Aquatic ecosystem, Freshwater ecosystem and Fauna. His Invertebrate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Crayfish, Abundance, Species richness and Larva. His River ecosystem research includes elements of Community structure, Lake ecosystem and Macroecology.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Riverine macrosystems ecology: sensitivity, resistance, and resilience of whole river basins with human alterations (151 citations)
  • How important are terrestrial organic carbon inputs for secondary production in freshwater ecosystems (128 citations)
  • Consequences of employing amino acid vs. bulk‐tissue, stable isotope analysis: a laboratory trophic position experiment (44 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

James H. Thorp focuses on Ecology, Trophic level, River ecosystem, Food web and Ecology. His works in Ecosystem, Habitat, Isotope analysis, Species richness and Invertebrate are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Ephemeral key and Wetland, which intersect with Ecosystem.

His work in Trophic level addresses subjects such as Food chain, which are connected to disciplines such as Ecological niche and Animal science. His River ecosystem research includes themes of Mathematical optimization, Nutrient, Communication channel and Metric. His biological study deals with issues like Spatial heterogeneity, which deal with fields such as Ecological dynamics, Resistance and Drainage basin.
