Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Genus

José Carlos Brito mainly investigates Ecology, Habitat, Species distribution, Biodiversity and Biogeography. His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Allopatric speciation, Biological dispersal and Monophyly. His Habitat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sauria, Parapatric speciation, Extinction and Scale.

His Species distribution study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Principle of maximum entropy, Abundance, Ecological niche and Mediterranean climate. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Scenario analysis and Climate change. His Biogeography study combines topics in areas such as Gap analysis, Species richness, Systematics, Phylogeography and Generalist and specialist species.

His most cited work include:

  • An Ecoregion-Based Approach to Protecting Half the Terrestrial Realm. (374 citations)
  • Conservation planning under climate change : Toward accounting for uncertainty in predicted species distributions to increase confidence in conservation investments in space and time (144 citations)
  • Unravelling biodiversity, evolution and threats to conservation in the Sahara‐Sahel (128 citations)

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

José Carlos Brito focuses on Ecology, Habitat, Biodiversity, Zoology and Range. He interconnects Phylogeography and Genetic diversity in the investigation of issues within Ecology. The various areas that he examines in his Genetic diversity study include Population genetics and Mitochondrial DNA.

His Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Arid, Extinction, Predation and Taxon. His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biological dispersal, Climate change, Threatened species and Biogeography. His studies deal with areas such as Phylogenetics and Species complex, Phylogenetic tree as well as Zoology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (72.92%)
  • Habitat (24.48%)
  • Biodiversity (20.83%)

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

  • Ecology (72.92%)
  • Biodiversity (20.83%)
  • Zoology (15.62%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Zoology, Genetic diversity and Species richness. He integrates many fields in his works, including Ecology and Desert. The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Environmental planning, Ecosystem, Threatened species, Afforestation and Wetland.

His work deals with themes such as Range, Cytochrome b and Bullfrog, which intersect with Zoology. Phylogenetic tree is closely connected to Species distribution in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Range. His Species richness study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Conservation status and Species diversity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The species diversity, distribution, and conservation status of the terrestrial mammals of Iran (21 citations)
  • Mapping and analysing cultural ecosystem services in conflict areas (9 citations)
  • Evaluating taxonomic inflation: towards evidence-based species delimitation in Eurasian vipers (Serpentes: Viperinae) (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Genus

José Carlos Brito mostly deals with Ecology, Habitat, Species richness, Conservation status and Genetic diversity. His research integrates issues of Biological dispersal, Metapopulation and Genetic structure in his study of Ecology. His study explores the link between Habitat and topics such as Adaptation that cross with problems in Taxon.

His Species richness research includes themes of Ordination, Flagship species, Environmental resource management and Body size. His study looks at the intersection of Conservation status and topics like IUCN Red List with Threatened species and Biodiversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Allopatric speciation, Population genetics and Sympatry.
