Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

Kent M. Daane mainly focuses on Ecology, Mealybug, Botany, PEST analysis and Horticulture. His work on Ecology, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and Predation as part of his general Ecology study is frequently connected to Drosophila suzukii, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Mealybug study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vineyard, Vine and Agronomy.

His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Zoology and Parasitism. The various areas that Kent M. Daane examines in his PEST analysis study include Pest control, Agroforestry and Integrated pest management. He works mostly in the field of Horticulture, limiting it down to topics relating to Sex pheromone and, in certain cases, Pheromone and Ficus.

His most cited work include:

  • Invasion biology of spotted wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii): a global perspective and future priorities (489 citations)
  • Olive Fruit Fly: Managing an Ancient Pest in Modern Times (207 citations)
  • Commercialization of Predators: Recent Lessons from Green Lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrosoperla) (183 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Horticulture, Ecology, Parasitoid and PEST analysis. His Fecundity research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany. His research in Horticulture intersects with topics in Overwintering and Larva.

Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Drosophila suzukii with Drosophila suzukii, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His PEST analysis research includes elements of Population density and Nymph. His Biological pest control research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pest control and Animal ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (38.40%)
  • Horticulture (33.60%)
  • Ecology (26.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Drosophila suzukii (11.60%)
  • PEST analysis (21.60%)
  • Ecology (26.40%)

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

His primary areas of study are Drosophila suzukii, PEST analysis, Ecology, Zoology and Parasitoid. Kent M. Daane studies Mealybug, a branch of PEST analysis. His Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Vineyard.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fecundity and Parasitism. His Biological pest control research is classified as research in Botany. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Broom and Horticulture.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Current SWD IPM tactics and their practical implementation in fruit crops across different regions around the world (133 citations)
  • First exploration of parasitoids of Drosophila suzukii in South Korea as potential classical biological agents (104 citations)
  • Population dynamics and ecology of Drosophila suzukii in Central California (72 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

Drosophila suzukii, Ecology, Zoology, Parasitoid and Pupa are his primary areas of study. Drosophila suzukii is intertwined with Larva, Pteromalidae, Diapriidae, Biological pest control and Botany in his study. His studies examine the connections between Botany and genetics, as well as such issues in Inoculation, with regards to Vineyard.

His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both PEST analysis and Population density. His studies deal with areas such as Japonica and Host as well as Zoology. His studies in Parasitoid integrate themes in fields like Fecundity and Parasitism.
