Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

His primary areas of study are Botany, Pollinator, Pollination, Zoology and Sex pheromone. His research in Ophrys, Ophrys sphegodes, Pseudocopulation, Chemical mimicry and Pheromone are components of Botany. His Pollinator research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sympatric speciation and Reproductive isolation.

In his study, Vespula germanica, Epipactis helleborine and Apis cerana is inextricably linked to Nectar, which falls within the broad field of Pollination. Zoology and Ecology are commonly linked in his work. In his research, Fruit tree, Cynopterus brachyotis, Ficus hispida, Frugivore and Ficus is intimately related to Chemical ecology, which falls under the overarching field of Sex pheromone.

His most cited work include:

  • Orchid pollination by sexual swindle (355 citations)
  • MATING BEHAVIOR AND CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION IN THE ORDER HYMENOPTERA (296 citations)
  • EVOLUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES IN THE SEXUALLY DECEPTIVE ORCHID OPHRYS SPHEGODES: HOW DOES FLOWER-SPECIFIC VARIATION OF ODOR SIGNALS INFLUENCE REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS? (184 citations)

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

Zoology, Botany, Ecology, Pollinator and Sex pheromone are his primary areas of study. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bombus terrestris, Foraging and Bumblebee. His work on Nest, Host and Abundance as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Burying beetle and Nicrophorus vespilloides, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Pollinator research includes themes of Inflorescence, Sympatric speciation and Reproductive isolation. As a member of one scientific family, Manfred Ayasse mostly works in the field of Sex pheromone, focusing on Halictidae and, on occasion, Animal ecology. The concepts of his Chemical mimicry study are interwoven with issues in Pseudocopulation and Labellum.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (36.84%)
  • Botany (38.60%)
  • Ecology (34.50%)

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

  • Zoology (36.84%)
  • Ecology (34.50%)
  • Frugivore (7.02%)

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

Manfred Ayasse focuses on Zoology, Ecology, Frugivore, Abundance and Pollinator. His Zoology study deals with Chemical ecology intersecting with Predator. His work on Biodiversity, Species richness, Habitat and Silphidae is typically connected to Context as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Manfred Ayasse has included themes like Seed dispersal, Ectophylla, Foraging, Olfaction and Ficus in his Frugivore study. In his research on the topic of Pollinator, Bumblebee, Intraspecific competition and Chemical mimicry is strongly related with Inflorescence. His study with Pollination involves better knowledge in Botany.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Relations between forest management, stand structure and productivity across different types of Central European forests (39 citations)
  • Fruit scent as an evolved signal to primate seed dispersal. (19 citations)
  • The evolution of fruit colour: phylogeny, abiotic factors and the role of mutualists. (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Botany, Seed dispersal, Abundance and Biodiversity. His Steatoda grossa and Spider study in the realm of Zoology interacts with subjects such as Araneus diadematus and Latrodectus geometricus. Epipactis helleborine is the focus of his Botany research.

His research on Seed dispersal also deals with topics like

  • Frugivore and related Horticulture, Olfaction, Ripeness and Foraging,
  • Lemur and related Plant reproduction and Sympatry. His Biodiversity study is focused on Ecology in general. The subject of his Pollinator research is within the realm of Pollination.
