What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Statistics
- Ecology
- Extinction
John Alroy mainly focuses on Paleontology, Extinction, Extinction event, Ecology and Phanerozoic.
His Paleontology research includes elements of Sampling and Biological dispersal.
John Alroy integrates many fields, such as Extinction and Origination, in his works.
His research in the fields of Paleobiology Database overlaps with other disciplines such as Extinction threshold.
His work deals with themes such as Taxon, Species richness and Biosphere, which intersect with Paleobiology Database.
His Ecology research incorporates themes from Megafauna and Eutheria.
His most cited work include:
- Phanerozoic trends in the global diversity of marine invertebrates. (506 citations)
- A Multispecies Overkill Simulation of the End-Pleistocene Megafaunal Mass Extinction (419 citations)
- Cope's Rule and the Dynamics of Body Mass Evolution in North American Fossil Mammals (396 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Extinction, Paleontology, Extinction event and Species richness.
He has included themes like Paleobiology Database and Quaternary in his Ecology study.
His Extinction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sampling, Statistics, Bayesian probability and Megafauna.
In his study, Correspondence analysis is inextricably linked to Taxon, which falls within the broad field of Sampling.
His research in Paleontology focuses on subjects like Phanerozoic, which are connected to Marine invertebrates.
John Alroy undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Extinction event and Macroevolution in his work.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (41.11%)
- Extinction (35.56%)
- Paleontology (26.67%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?
- Species richness (17.78%)
- Ecology (41.11%)
- Extinction (35.56%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
John Alroy spends much of his time researching Species richness, Ecology, Extinction, Sampling and Statistics.
His Species richness research integrates issues from Abundance, Ecology, Speciation and Tetrapod.
His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology and Graph theory.
John Alroy does research in Extinction, focusing on Extinction event specifically.
The various areas that John Alroy examines in his Sampling study include Biodiversity, Paleontology and Phanerozoic.
His Phanerozoic research includes themes of Cretaceous, Paleogene, Mammal and Terrestrial ecosystem.
Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Effects of habitat disturbance on tropical forest biodiversity. (97 citations)
- Open Science principles for accelerating trait-based science across the Tree of Life (37 citations)
- How should we estimate diversity in the fossil record? Testing richness estimators using sampling-standardised discovery curves (29 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Statistics
- Ecology
- Extinction
John Alroy spends much of his time researching Species richness, Ecology, Statistics, Sampling and Extinction.
His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Mammal, Extinction debt and Paleogene.
His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phanerozoic, Cretaceous and Tetrapod.
His Statistics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Comparability and Extinction event.
His Sampling research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Species discovery curve, Extrapolation, Fossil Record and Interpolation.
The various areas that John Alroy examines in his Extinction study include Habitat destruction, Biodiversity, Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, Habitat and Tropics.
