What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Biodiversity
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biodiversity, Plant community, Species richness and Density dependence.
Ecology is closely attributed to Janzen–Connell hypothesis in her work.
Liza S. Comita combines subjects such as Abundance, Relative species abundance, Intraspecific competition, Herbivore and Seed predation with her study of Janzen–Connell hypothesis.
Her Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecosystem and Species diversity.
Her Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Tropics, Temperate climate and Alpha diversity.
Her study in Plant community is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Habitat fragmentation, Species distribution and Niche differentiation.
Her most cited work include:
- Navigating the multiple meanings of β diversity: a roadmap for the practicing ecologist (1468 citations)
- Drought sensitivity shapes species distribution patterns in tropical forests (721 citations)
- Asymmetric density dependence shapes species abundances in a tropical tree community. (456 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Liza S. Comita mainly focuses on Ecology, Seedling, Plant community, Habitat and Janzen–Connell hypothesis.
In most of her Ecology studies, her work intersects topics such as Density dependence.
Her research on Seedling also deals with topics like
- Abiotic component together with Forest dynamics,
- Pesticide and Fragmentation most often made with reference to Fungicide.
Her Habitat research incorporates elements of Shrub and Biological dispersal.
Liza S. Comita works mostly in the field of Janzen–Connell hypothesis, limiting it down to topics relating to Common species and, in certain cases, Interspecific competition and Rare species, as a part of the same area of interest.
Liza S. Comita interconnects Temperate deciduous forest, Biodiversity and Species diversity in the investigation of issues within Species richness.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (151.43%)
- Seedling (50.00%)
- Plant community (34.29%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Ecology (151.43%)
- Panama (29.29%)
- Janzen–Connell hypothesis (32.14%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Panama, Janzen–Connell hypothesis, Herbivore and Natural enemies.
Her Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Seed dispersal and Seedling.
Her Panama study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nestedness and Relative species abundance.
Her Janzen–Connell hypothesis research includes elements of Plant community, Ecological systems theory, Climate change and Forest dynamics.
Her Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Germination, Species distribution, Adaptation, Local adaptation and Tree species.
Liza S. Comita has researched Natural enemies in several fields, including Temperate forest, Density dependence and Diversity maintenance.
Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Seed‐to‐Seedling Transitions Exhibit Distance‐Dependent Mortality but No Strong Spacing Effects in a Neotropical Forest (7 citations)
- ForestGEO: Understanding forest diversity and dynamics through a global observatory network (5 citations)
- Natural Enemies and the Maintenance of Tropical Tree Diversity: Recent Insights and Implications for the Future of Biodiversity in a Changing World (3 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Biodiversity
Liza S. Comita mostly deals with Ecology, Janzen–Connell hypothesis, Plant community, Mechanism and Resistance.
Her study in Nestedness and Panama falls under the purview of Ecology.
Her work deals with themes such as Climate change and Seed dispersal, which intersect with Janzen–Connell hypothesis.
The Seed dispersal study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity, Ecological systems theory, Host and Herbivore.
Her work carried out in the field of Plant community brings together such families of science as Quadrat, Forest dynamics, Competition, Biological dispersal and Seedling.
Her study in Mechanism intersects with areas of studies such as Population bottleneck, Priority effect and Extinction.
