Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Habitat

Luca Luiselli mostly deals with Ecology, Predation, Zoology, Rainforest and Habitat. His Ecology and Biodiversity, Natrix, Guild, Sympatric speciation and Community investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. His Predation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Elaphe longissima, Sexual dimorphism and Interspecific competition.

In the subject of general Zoology, his work in Colubridae is often linked to Feeding behavior, Social behaviour and Vipera aspis, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Deforestation, Mantella, Arboreal locomotion and Gallery forest in addition to Rainforest. In the field of Habitat, his study on Coronella austriaca overlaps with subjects such as Causus maculatus.

His most cited work include:

  • The conservation status of the world's reptiles (490 citations)
  • Are snake populations in widespread decline (198 citations)
  • Resource partitioning and interspecific competition in snakes: the search for general geographical and guild patterns (162 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Habitat, Zoology, Predation and Threatened species. His is doing research in Species richness, Range, Biodiversity, Sympatric speciation and Rainforest, both of which are found in Ecology. Species richness is closely attributed to Abundance in his research.

The concepts of his Habitat study are interwoven with issues in Mediterranean climate, Interspecific competition and Niche. The Predation study which covers Arboreal locomotion that intersects with Guild. His Threatened species study combines topics in areas such as Critically endangered, Endangered species, Habitat destruction, IUCN Red List and Tortoise.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (71.94%)
  • Habitat (22.90%)
  • Zoology (18.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (71.94%)
  • Threatened species (12.58%)
  • Zoology (18.39%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Threatened species, Zoology, Habitat and Species richness. Range, Species evenness, Species diversity, Dominance and Abundance are among the areas of Ecology where he concentrates his study. His Abundance research includes themes of Sympatric speciation and Interspecific competition.

His study in Threatened species is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Critically endangered, Endangered species, Conservation status, IUCN Red List and Tortoise. His research on Zoology also deals with topics like

  • Relative species abundance which connect with Tyto,
  • Population density, which have a strong connection to Population size. His Habitat research integrates issues from Arid, Wild boar, Protected area and Sex ratio.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Trade in live reptiles, its impact on wild populations, and the role of the European market (89 citations)
  • Global conservation status of turtles and tortoises (order Testudines) (63 citations)
  • Ecological diversity, community structure and conservation of Niger Delta mammals (57 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Habitat

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Threatened species, Zoology, IUCN Red List and Predation. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Population size. His research in Threatened species intersects with topics in Tortoise, Extinction and Stag beetle.

He combines subjects such as Trionychidae, Emydidae, Geoemydidae and Occupancy with his study of Zoology. His studies deal with areas such as Conservation status and Critically endangered, Endangered species, Red List Index as well as IUCN Red List. He has researched Predation in several fields, including Range and Foraging.
