  • Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Rangeland and Wildlife Management
  • Avian ecology and behavior
  • Turtle Biology and Conservation
  • Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies

The scientist has contributed to multiple publications across well-known journals, including repeated contributions to the Journal of Mammalogy and Herpetologica. Other frequent publication venues include Nature Communications, Zootaxa, and the Journal of Field Ornithology.

Notable recent papers by Joseph A. Veech include:

  • "Ecological dependencies make remote reef fish communities most vulnerable to coral loss" (2021, Nature Communications)
  • "Forelimb morphology as an adaptation for burrowing in kangaroo rat species (genus Dipodomys) that inhabit different soil substrates" (2023, Journal of Mammalogy)
  • "New ostracod species (Cypridopsis schwartzi n. sp.) from Texas, with discussion on the taxonomic status of Cypridopsis species in the USA" (2022, Zootaxa)
  • "Canopy cover as the primary factor affecting habitat use by grassland-shrubland bird species in central Texas, USA" (2024, Journal of Field Ornithology)
  • "Using Road Surveys and N-Mixture Models to Estimate the Abundance of a Cryptic Lizard Species" (2021, Journal of Herpetology)

Veech has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Thomas J. Matthews, Even Tjørve, Simone Fattorini, Giovanni Strona, and Daniel A. Guerra.

In addition to journal articles, Veech has published a book titled The Species-Area Relationship through Cambridge University Press in 2021.
