Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Habitat

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Habitat, Range, Biological dispersal and Genetics. His research in Ecology is mostly concerned with Biodiversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Old-growth forest, Forestry and Environmental resource management.

His Range study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology and Picoides. He has included themes like Wildlife conservation and Threatened species in his Biological dispersal study. His Genetics research incorporates elements of Microsatellite, Genetic samples, Statistics and Dropout.

His most cited work include:

  • Gene Flow in Complex Landscapes: Testing Multiple Hypotheses with Causal Modeling. (546 citations)
  • Emerging Issues in Population Viability Analysis (339 citations)
  • Quantifying the lag time to detect barriers in landscape genetics (333 citations)

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

Kevin S. McKelvey focuses on Ecology, Habitat, Environmental resource management, Environmental DNA and Range. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Trout and Biological dispersal. His research integrates issues of Ecology, Forestry, Selection and Wildlife in his study of Habitat.

His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate change and Metapopulation. His Environmental DNA study also includes

  • Sampling that connect with fields like Fishery and Sample,
  • Invasive species that connect with fields like Introduced species,
  • Zoology and related Identification. Kevin S. McKelvey interconnects Species distribution and Physical geography in the investigation of issues within Range.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (53.66%)
  • Habitat (28.66%)
  • Environmental resource management (14.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Environmental DNA (13.41%)
  • Sampling (10.37%)
  • Ecology (53.66%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental DNA, Sampling, Ecology, Fishery and Zoology. His work deals with themes such as Computational biology, Rare species, Species detection and Invasive species, which intersect with Environmental DNA. The study incorporates disciplines such as Contrast and Occupancy in addition to Sampling.

Ecology is closely attributed to Trout in his research. His work carried out in the field of Fishery brings together such families of science as Oncorhynchus and Threatened species. The Sucker research he does as part of his general Zoology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Pantosteus jordani, Catostomidae and Lepidomeda copei, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sampling scales define occupancy and underlying occupancy-abundance relationships in animals (44 citations)
  • Using environmental DNA methods to improve winter surveys for rare carnivores: DNA from snow and improved noninvasive techniques (35 citations)
  • Using bear rub data and spatial capture-recapture models to estimate trend in a brown bear population (31 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Habitat

Kevin S. McKelvey spends much of his time researching Environmental DNA, Sampling, Rare species, Fishery and Species detection. His Environmental DNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Habitat and Invasive species. His Sampling research integrates issues from Ecology, Field and Scale.

Kevin S. McKelvey has researched Ecology in several fields, including Contrast and Statistics. Kevin S. McKelvey combines subjects such as Zoology and Population status with his study of Rare species. His Species detection research includes themes of Aquatic animal and DNA.
