Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Habitat

Joaquín Hortal mainly focuses on Ecology, Species richness, Macroecology, Biodiversity and Species distribution. The various areas that he examines in his Ecology study include Range, Pleistocene and Extinction. His work carried out in the field of Species richness brings together such families of science as Abundance, Sample size determination, Sampling, Transect and Biogeography.

His Macroecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Temporal scales, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Environmental resource management and Population biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spatial ecology and Functional ecology. His Species distribution research incorporates themes from Rare species and Environmental niche modelling.

His most cited work include:

  • Not as good as they seem: the importance of concepts in species distribution modelling (469 citations)
  • Evaluating the performance of species richness estimators: sensitivity to sample grain size. (410 citations)
  • Evaluating the performance of species richness estimators: sensitivity to sample grain size. (410 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Biogeography and Species distribution. His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Biological dispersal. His Biological dispersal study incorporates themes from Pleistocene and Last Glacial Maximum.

His Species richness research integrates issues from Abundance, Dung beetle and Scarabaeinae. His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Ecosystem and Environmental resource management. His study on Insular biogeography is often connected to Diversification as part of broader study in Biogeography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (119.20%)
  • Species richness (50.00%)
  • Biodiversity (40.00%)

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

  • Ecology (119.20%)
  • Species richness (50.00%)
  • Dung beetle (14.80%)

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

Joaquín Hortal mainly focuses on Ecology, Species richness, Dung beetle, Biodiversity and Evolutionary biology. As part of his studies on Ecology, Joaquín Hortal often connects relevant subjects like Biological dispersal. The Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Species diversity and Liana.

His research integrates issues of Ecosystem and Scarabaeinae in his study of Dung beetle. His study in Biodiversity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metadata, Environmental resource management, Geospatial analysis and Evolutionary ecology. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inbreeding and Phenotypic plasticity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • COVID-19 effective reproduction number dropped during Spain's nationwide dropdown, then spiked at lower-incidence regions (12 citations)
  • Unifying macroecology and macroevolution to answer fundamental questions about biodiversity (12 citations)
  • Drivers of regional and local diversity of Amazonian stream Odonata (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Habitat

Joaquín Hortal focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Dung beetle, Species diversity and Species richness. His work deals with themes such as Biological dispersal and Forestry, which intersect with Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Mesocosm, Ecosystem, Seed dispersal, Scarabaeidae and Digging as well as Biodiversity.

He has researched Dung beetle in several fields, including Temporal scales and Seedling. His studies in Species diversity integrate themes in fields like Ecological succession, Scarabaeinae, Nestedness, Beta diversity and Liana. His Species richness research incorporates elements of Riparian zone, Habitat, Canopy, Understory and Seasonality.
