Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study John Terborgh is best known for:

Ecology
Biodiversity
Ecosystem

John Terborgh is involved in relevant fields of research such as Extinction (optical mineralogy) and Disturbance (geology) in the field of Paleontology. His research ties Paleontology and Extinction (optical mineralogy) together. In his articles, John Terborgh combines various disciplines, including Ecology and Zoology. His study deals with a combination of Zoology and Ecology. His study connects Extinction debt and Demography. Extinction debt and Habitat fragmentation are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary research. His research on Habitat fragmentation frequently links to adjacent areas such as Demography. His Population study frequently links to other fields, such as Population growth. His Population growth study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Population.

His most cited work include:

Collapse of the world’s largest herbivores (677 citations)
Reliable, verifiable and efficient monitoring of biodiversity via metabarcoding (459 citations)
Bushmeat hunting and extinction risk to the world's mammals (305 citations)

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

John Terborgh conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Ecology and Wildlife. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Biological dispersal and Population. Biological dispersal and Demography are frequently intertwined in his study. His research links Ursus with Demography. Ursus connects with themes related to Population in his study. His study connects Ungulate and Habitat. His research links Habitat with Ungulate. In his articles, he combines various disciplines, including Predation and Carnivore. In his work, John Terborgh performs multidisciplinary research in Carnivore and Predation.
