Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Nectar, Mutualism, Herbivore and Myrmecophyte. Kleber Del-Claro integrates several fields in his works, including Ecology and Treehopper. Kleber Del-Claro studied Nectar and Foraging that intersect with Nocturnal and Macroecology.

His Mutualism research incorporates themes from Chamaecrista and ANT. As part of the same scientific family, Kleber Del-Claro usually focuses on Herbivore, concentrating on Tropical savanna climate and intersecting with Twig. His research in Myrmecophyte intersects with topics in Ecological network, Myrmicinae, Generalist and specialist species and Phenology.

His most cited work include:

  • Conditional outcomes in a neotropical treehopper-ant association: temporal and species-specific variation in ant protection and homopteran fecundity. (141 citations)
  • Effect of herbivore deterrence by ants on the fruit set of an extrafloral nectary plant, Qualea multiflora (Vochysiaceae) (115 citations)
  • Ant–plant interaction in the Neotropical savanna: direct beneficial effects of extrafloral nectar on ant colony fitness (111 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Herbivore, Nectar, Botany and Predation. His study in Mutualism, Foraging, ANT, Species richness and Abundance is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. Kleber Del-Claro has researched Herbivore in several fields, including Pseudomyrmex, Phenology, Tropical savanna climate, Trophic level and Abiotic component.

Kleber Del-Claro works in the field of Nectar, focusing on Myrmecophyte in particular. He interconnects Nestedness and Ecological network in the investigation of issues within Myrmecophyte. His work on Fabaceae, Shrub and Malpighiaceae as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Solanum lycocarpum, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (78.19%)
  • Herbivore (30.32%)
  • Nectar (31.38%)

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

  • Ecology (78.19%)
  • Herbivore (30.32%)
  • Mutualism (17.55%)

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

Kleber Del-Claro mainly investigates Ecology, Herbivore, Mutualism, Nectar and Plant community. His study in Ecology focuses on Predation, Niche, Invertebrate, Pollination and Ecological network. His Herbivore research includes themes of Larva, Instar and Animal ecology.

His research integrates issues of Myrmecophyte and Camponotus crassus in his study of Mutualism. Kleber Del-Claro merges Nectar with Quality in his study. His Plant community study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shrub, Rainforest, Biological dispersal and Diaspore.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ant pollination of Paepalanthus lundii (Eriocaulaceae) in Brazilian savanna. (13 citations)
  • Natural history and ecology of foraging of the Camponotus crassus Mayr, 1862 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (10 citations)
  • Ants as diaspore removers of non-myrmecochorous plants: a meta-analysis (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

Kleber Del-Claro spends much of his time researching Ecology, Mutualism, Herbivore, Nectar and Myrmecophyte. Ecology is frequently linked to Plant Structures in his study. Many of his studies on Mutualism involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Shrub.

His Plant community research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Rainforest, Biodiversity, Biological dispersal and Diaspore. His Optimal foraging theory research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecological network, Invertebrate and Harvester ant, Nest. His study in Entomophily is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Outcrossing, Predation and Phenology.
