1960 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Predation

Lincoln P. Brower spends much of his time researching Monarch butterfly, Ecology, Danaus, Botany and Nymphalidae. His study looks at the relationship between Monarch butterfly and fields such as Larva, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The Predation, Overwintering, Mimicry and Range research Lincoln P. Brower does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Chemistry, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His research investigates the link between Danaus and topics such as Cardenolide that cross with problems in Butterfly and Chemical defense. His study in the field of Dry weight, Asclepias eriocarpa and Grazing also crosses realms of Cardiac glycoside and Palatability. His research integrates issues of Logging, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha and Asclepias in his study of Nymphalidae.

His most cited work include:

  • Understanding and misunderstanding the migration of the monarch butterfly (Nymphalidae) in North America: 1857-1995 (207 citations)
  • Ecological Chemistry and the Palatability Spectrum (193 citations)
  • Plant poisons in a terrestrial food chain. (193 citations)

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

Lincoln P. Brower mainly investigates Ecology, Monarch butterfly, Danaus, Overwintering and Predation. In his work, Reproduction is strongly intertwined with Larva, which is a subfield of Monarch butterfly. His work deals with themes such as Cardenolide and Nymphalidae, which intersect with Danaus.

Lincoln P. Brower interconnects Chemical defense and Chemical ecology in the investigation of issues within Cardenolide. His Overwintering research incorporates elements of Microclimate, Logging, Foraging and Abies religiosa. His Predation study which covers Zoology that intersects with Insect.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (61.19%)
  • Monarch butterfly (47.01%)
  • Danaus (38.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2018)?

  • Ecology (61.19%)
  • Monarch butterfly (47.01%)
  • Overwintering (36.57%)

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

Lincoln P. Brower mostly deals with Ecology, Monarch butterfly, Overwintering, Danaus and Nymphalidae. His work on Range and Population decline as part of general Ecology research is often related to Forb, North central and Close relationship, thus linking different fields of science. His study in Monarch butterfly is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Population size, Butterfly, Biosphere and Habitat.

His Overwintering research includes themes of Annual cycle, Generalist and specialist species and Microclimate. His Danaus research is under the purview of Larva. His Nymphalidae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Taxon, Pleistocene and Temperate climate.

Between 2004 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Decline of monarch butterflies overwintering in Mexico: is the migratory phenomenon at risk? (192 citations)
  • Fueling the fall migration of the monarch butterfly (90 citations)
  • Regional climate on the breeding grounds predicts variation in the natal origin of monarch butterflies overwintering in Mexico over 38 years. (56 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Overwintering, Monarch butterfly, Range and Butterfly. His work in Danaus, Annual cycle and Microclimate is related to Ecology. His Danaus research integrates issues from Asclepias, Asclepias curassavica, Peninsula and Nymphalidae.

Lincoln P. Brower has researched Monarch butterfly in several fields, including Asclepias syriaca, Habitat and Reproduction. His research investigates the connection with Range and areas like Population decline which intersect with concerns in Agriculture, North american population and Restoration ecology. The various areas that Lincoln P. Brower examines in his Butterfly study include Population density, Weather station, Population size and Biosphere.
