Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Parasitism
  • Predation

Mark R. Forbes mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Parasitism, Host and Fluctuating asymmetry. Adaptation, Nest, Damselfly, Eider and Odonata are among the areas of Ecology where Mark R. Forbes concentrates his study. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Toxicology and Foraging.

In his research on the topic of Parasitism, Lestidae, Mite and Generalist and specialist species is strongly related with Lestes. His study in Host is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary ecology, Larva and Immunity. His Fluctuating asymmetry research focuses on subjects like Statistics, which are linked to Bioindicator.

His most cited work include:

  • Male biases in parasitism of mammals : effects of study type, host age, and parasite taxon (259 citations)
  • Fluctuating Asymmetry as a Bioindicator of Stress: Comparing Efficacy of Analyses Involving Multiple Traits. (250 citations)
  • Parasitism and host reproductive effort (214 citations)

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

Mark R. Forbes focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Parasitism, Host and Damselfly. His study in Ecology focuses on Odonata, Predation, Arctic, Corophium volutator and Coenagrionidae. His study looks at the relationship between Zoology and fields such as Larva, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Parasitism study which covers Helminths that intersects with Nematode. His work carried out in the field of Host brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Resistance, Immunity, Generalist and specialist species and Local adaptation. His Damselfly research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genetics and Invertebrate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (76.04%)
  • Zoology (42.71%)
  • Parasitism (31.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (76.04%)
  • Host (29.17%)
  • Zoology (42.71%)

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

Ecology, Host, Zoology, Parasitism and Eider are his primary areas of study. His work in Arctic, Bioaccumulation, Trophic level, Anseriformes and Reproduction are all subfields of Ecology research. His studies deal with areas such as Abundance, Habitat, Resistance and Coenagrionidae, Odonata as well as Host.

The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Amphibian, Leopard frog, Herd immunity and Predation. His Parasitism research integrates issues from Helminths, Damselfly and Mite. His studies in Eider integrate themes in fields like Treatment results and Reproductive success.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Longer ice-free seasons increase the risk of nest depredation by polar bears for colonial breeding birds in the Canadian Arctic (58 citations)
  • Feather corticosterone reveals effect of moulting conditions in the autumn on subsequent reproductive output and survival in an Arctic migratory bird (51 citations)
  • The evolution of transmission mode (48 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Parasitism
  • Predation

Mark R. Forbes mainly investigates Ecology, Eider, Arctic, Geography and Parasitism. Many of his studies on Ecology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Hunting season. Eider is a subfield of Zoology that Mark R. Forbes studies.

His Breeding pair study in the realm of Zoology interacts with subjects such as Transmission. His Arctic research incorporates themes from Uria lomvia and Seabird. His Parasitism research is under the purview of Host.
