What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Genetics
- Predation
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Nest, Polygyny, Hymenoptera and Leptothorax.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Inbreeding and Sex allocation.
Joan M. Herbers combines subjects such as Aculeata and Path analysis with her study of Sex allocation.
Her studies deal with areas such as Competition and Temperate climate as well as Nest.
In her study, Biological evolution is strongly linked to ANT, which falls under the umbrella field of Hymenoptera.
Her Leptothorax research incorporates themes from Host and Coevolution.
Her most cited work include:
- Time resources and laziness in animals. (201 citations)
- Nest site limitation and facultative polygyny in the ant Leptothorax longispinosus (178 citations)
- Community structure in north temperate ants: temporal and spatial variation. (126 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Joan M. Herbers mainly investigates Ecology, Nest, Hymenoptera, Leptothorax and Aculeata.
Her studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Zoology and Polygyny.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Obligate, Spatial distribution, Brood and Myrmica in addition to Nest.
In her study, Field experiment and Biomass is strongly linked to Reproduction, which falls under the umbrella field of Hymenoptera.
Her Leptothorax research includes elements of Host, Coevolution and Population variation.
As part of the same scientific family, she usually focuses on Aculeata, concentrating on Sex allocation and intersecting with Insect, Temperate forest and Spatial organization.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (89.36%)
- Nest (51.06%)
- Hymenoptera (44.68%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2000-2009)?
- Ecology (89.36%)
- Nest (51.06%)
- Host (12.77%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Joan M. Herbers focuses on Ecology, Nest, Host, Hymenoptera and Leptothorax.
Joan M. Herbers mostly deals with Animal ecology in her studies of Ecology.
Her research in Nest intersects with topics in Obligate, Reproduction and Polygyny.
As part of one scientific family, she deals mainly with the area of Host, narrowing it down to issues related to the Polyergus breviceps, and often Sympatric speciation, Sympatry, Slave-making ant, Resistance and Polyergus.
Joan M. Herbers works mostly in the field of Hymenoptera, limiting it down to topics relating to ANT and, in certain cases, Dominance and Inquiline.
Her research investigates the connection between Leptothorax and topics such as Coevolution that intersect with problems in Host specificity, Eusociality and Temnothorax.
Between 2000 and 2009, her most popular works were:
- Coevolution in host-parasite systems: behavioural strategies of slave-making ants and their hosts. (106 citations)
- COLONY STRUCTURE OF A SLAVEMAKING ANT. I. INTRACOLONY RELATEDNESS, WORKER REPRODUCTION, AND POLYDOMY (66 citations)
- COLONY STRUCTURE OF A SLAVEMAKING ANT. II. FREQUENCY OF SLAVE RAIDS AND IMPACT ON THE HOST POPULATION (65 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Genetics
- Predation
Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Coevolution, Nest, Leptothorax and Host.
Her work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Zoology and Polygyny.
Her work deals with themes such as Evolutionary arms race and Brood parasite, which intersect with Zoology.
She frequently studies issues relating to Brood and Polygyny.
Her Foraging study incorporates themes from Aculeata and Hymenoptera.
Her Competition research incorporates elements of Philopatry, Inbreeding and Reproduction.
