Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Ecology, Lizard, Zoology, Foraging and Sexual selection are his primary areas of study. His Habitat, Biodiversity, Species evenness, Predation and Thermoregulation study are his primary interests in Ecology. His Lizard study incorporates themes from Sex characteristics, Predator and Reproductive success.

As a member of one scientific family, Martin J. Whiting mostly works in the field of Zoology, focusing on Body size and, on occasion, Escape response and Platysaurus intermedius. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cordylidae, Cordylus and Niche in addition to Foraging. The various areas that he examines in his Sexual selection study include Social relation, Social psychology, Agonistic behaviour, Aggression and Animal communication.

His most cited work include:

  • The conservation status of the world's reptiles (490 citations)
  • An Integrative Framework for the Appraisal of Coloration in Nature (157 citations)
  • Ultraviolet signals ultra-aggression in a lizard (148 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Lizard, Zoology, Predation and Foraging. His Ecology research includes themes of Reproductive success and Sexual dimorphism. His Lizard research includes elements of Sexual selection, Cognition and Animal ecology.

His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Escape response and Reproduction. His Predation study combines topics in areas such as Thermoregulation, Juvenile, Mimicry and Acanthocercus atricollis. His research in Foraging intersects with topics in Mabuya, Crypsis, Pseudocordylus and Cordylus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (60.87%)
  • Lizard (45.11%)
  • Zoology (24.46%)

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

  • Lizard (45.11%)
  • Zoology (24.46%)
  • Ecology (60.87%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Lizard, Zoology, Ecology, Cognition and Animal ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Stimulus and Foraging as well as Lizard. His work on Oviparity and Sexual selection as part of general Zoology research is often related to Boldness, thus linking different fields of science.

His is doing research in Behavioral ecology, Bite force quotient, Urban ecology, Range and Divergence, both of which are found in Ecology. He has researched Cognition in several fields, including Discrimination learning, Cognitive psychology, Ecology and Eulamprus quoyii. His Animal ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Offspring, Paternal care, Competition and Predation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Animal cultures matter for conservation. (42 citations)
  • Subproblem learning and reversal of a multidimensional visual cue in a lizard: evidence for behavioural flexibility? (13 citations)
  • A 3D MRI-based atlas of a lizard brain. (11 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Martin J. Whiting spends much of his time researching Lizard, Zoology, Social learning, Animal ecology and Skink. His study on Intellagama lesueurii is often connected to Adult male as part of broader study in Lizard. Martin J. Whiting usually deals with Zoology and limits it to topics linked to Paternal care and Altricial, Precocial and Juvenile.

His research in Animal ecology focuses on subjects like Predation, which are connected to Biting. His study in Foraging is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Developmental psychology and Sociality. His study on Boldness is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Introduced species, Urban ecology and Ecology.
