What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Predation
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Predation, Habitat, Larva and Salamander.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Elevation and Zoology.
His studies deal with areas such as Culex pipiens, Poeciliidae, Mosquitofish and Fish stocking as well as Predation.
His work in the fields of Ambystoma maculatum overlaps with other areas such as Trend analysis, Unit and Disease cluster.
His Larva research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Interspecific competition, Taxon, Predatory fish, Natural selection and Amphibian.
His work in Competition addresses issues such as Density dependence, which are connected to fields such as Caudata.
His most cited work include:
- Predation, Competition, and Prey Communities: A Review of Field Experiments (1070 citations)
- Antipredator defenses and the persistence of amphibian larvae with fishes (436 citations)
- Effects of Timber Harvesting on Southern Appalachian Salamanders (249 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
James W. Petranka mostly deals with Ecology, Predation, Larva, Rana sylvatica and Ambystoma maculatum.
His is doing research in Salamander, Habitat, Metamorphosis, Competition and Caudata, both of which are found in Ecology.
His Predation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Trophic level, Zoology, Tadpole and Interspecific competition.
His Larva research incorporates elements of Mesocosm, Hatching, Hatchling, Animal ecology and Invertebrate.
His study in Hatchling is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Density dependence, Intraspecific competition and Zooplankton.
The concepts of his Ambystoma maculatum study are interwoven with issues in Juvenile and Restoration ecology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (93.48%)
- Predation (39.13%)
- Larva (43.48%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2016)?
- Ecology (93.48%)
- Rana sylvatica (28.26%)
- Ambystoma maculatum (23.91%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Ecology, Rana sylvatica, Ambystoma maculatum, Predation and Salamander.
His Ecology study focuses mostly on Larva, Mesocosm, Habitat, Competition and Amphibian.
His Larva research includes elements of Avian clutch size and Food web.
His Competition research focuses on Intraguild predation and how it relates to Intraspecific competition.
He has researched Amphibian in several fields, including Zoology and Metamorphosis, Tadpole.
James W. Petranka interconnects Abundance, Global biodiversity, Taxonomic rank and Forestry, Logging in the investigation of issues within Salamander.
Between 2005 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- Long-term persistence of amphibian populations in a restored wetland complex (88 citations)
- Ranavirus in wood frogs (Rana sylvatica): potential sources of transmission within and between ponds. (80 citations)
- Wetland restoration for amphibians: should local sites be designed to support metapopulations or patchy populations? (64 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Predation
James W. Petranka spends much of his time researching Ecology, Rana sylvatica, Habitat, Ambystoma maculatum and Amphibian.
His Rana sylvatica study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Juvenile and Predation.
James W. Petranka combines subjects such as Resistance and Salamander with his study of Juvenile.
His Predation study combines topics in areas such as Habitat destruction, Restoration ecology and Biological dispersal, Metapopulation.
James W. Petranka incorporates a variety of subjects into his writings, including Transmission, Emerging infectious disease, Tadpole, Ranavirus, Metamorphosis and Mesocosm.
In his papers, James W. Petranka integrates diverse fields, such as Emerging infectious disease and Zoology.
