What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Herbivore, Insect, Biodiversity and Lepidoptera genitalia.
His work in Ecology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Population ecology.
Mark D. Hunter interconnects Agroforestry, Larva, Diapause, Phloem and Choristoneura rosaceana in the investigation of issues within Herbivore.
His work deals with themes such as Woodland and Predation, which intersect with Biodiversity.
His Lepidoptera genitalia research incorporates themes from PEST analysis, Voltinism and Interspecific competition.
Mark D. Hunter has included themes like Cyanobacteria and Bacteria in his Botany study.
His most cited work include:
- Playing Chutes and Ladders: Heterogeneity and the Relative Roles of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Forces in Natural Communities (1363 citations)
- Ecology of Insects: Concepts and Applications (279 citations)
- Effects of resource distribution on animal-plant interactions (227 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Herbivore, Botany, Ecosystem and Nutrient.
Mark D. Hunter combines subjects such as Population density and Density dependence with his study of Ecology.
His Herbivore study incorporates themes from Fagaceae, Caterpillar, Insect, Spatial heterogeneity and Asclepias.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant defense against herbivory and Agronomy.
His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biodiversity, Woody plant, Nitrogen cycle and Litter.
The concepts of his Nutrient study are interwoven with issues in Trophic level and Phosphorus.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (58.24%)
- Herbivore (32.97%)
- Botany (29.67%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Ecology (58.24%)
- Herbivore (32.97%)
- Asclepias (12.64%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Herbivore, Asclepias, Cardenolide and Ophryocystis elektroscirrha.
The study of Ecology is intertwined with the study of Population density in a number of ways.
His Herbivore research is included under the broader classification of Botany.
His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant defense against herbivory and Agronomy.
His Asclepias study deals with Resistance intersecting with Virulence, Plant growth, Phenotype and Interspecific competition.
His Ophryocystis elektroscirrha research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology and Host, Parasitism.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi affect plant tolerance and chemical defences to herbivory through different mechanisms (47 citations)
- Why does a good thing become too much? Interactions between foliar nutrients and toxins determine performance of an insect herbivore (39 citations)
- Secondary Defense Chemicals in Milkweed Reduce Parasite Infection in Monarch Butterflies, Danaus plexippus. (34 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Mark D. Hunter spends much of his time researching Ecology, Botany, Asclepias, Cardenolide and Herbivore.
As part of his studies on Ecology, Mark D. Hunter often connects relevant subjects like Population density.
His studies deal with areas such as Trophic level and Nutrient as well as Botany.
His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phytochemical and Agronomy.
His research integrates issues of Spatial ecology, Genetic variation and Spatial variability in his study of Herbivore.
In his work, Ecology and Evolutionary ecology is strongly intertwined with Host, which is a subfield of Danaus.
