Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Habitat, Recreation, Wildlife and Conservation biology are his primary areas of study. Abundance, Disturbance, Thinornis, Predation and Flight initiation are the core of his Ecology study. His research in Thinornis intersects with topics in Nest and Reproductive success.

His work focuses on many connections between Predation and other disciplines, such as Foraging, that overlap with his field of interest in Vulpes, Carrion, Brood and Threatened species. His Recreation study incorporates themes from Wildlife conservation and Socioeconomics. His Conservation biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ornithology, Southern Hemisphere and Climate change.

His most cited work include:

  • A review of flight-initiation distances and their application to managing disturbance to Australian birds (131 citations)
  • Climate change and its impact on Australia's avifauna (118 citations)
  • Conflict between Genetic and Phenotypic Differentiation: The Evolutionary History of a ‘Lost and Rediscovered’ Shorebird (95 citations)

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

Michael A. Weston mainly investigates Ecology, Habitat, Wildlife, Zoology and Plover. His Ecology research focuses on Predation, Threatened species, Thinornis, Ecosystem and Foraging. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Habitat, concentrating on Abundance and intersecting with Range.

His Wildlife research incorporates themes from Recreation and Environmental resource management. His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ornithology, Lapwing and Hatching. The study incorporates disciplines such as Charadrius and Predator in addition to Plover.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (68.39%)
  • Habitat (22.80%)
  • Wildlife (20.21%)

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

  • Ecology (68.39%)
  • Zoology (15.03%)
  • Habitat (22.80%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Zoology, Habitat, Wildlife and Predation. His Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Shore. His Zoology research includes elements of Plover, Ornithology, Lapwing and Hatching.

His Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Old-growth forest, Recreation, Environmental resource management and Canis. His Wildlife study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fishery, Threatened species and Invasive species. The Predator and Flight initiation research Michael A. Weston does as part of his general Predation study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Significant difference, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Optimizing conservation benefits for threatened beach fauna following severe natural disturbances (11 citations)
  • Managing birds of conservation concern on sandy shores: How much room for future conservation actions is there? (9 citations)
  • Morphology and geography predict the use of heat conservation behaviours across birds (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Biodiversity

Michael A. Weston spends much of his time researching Wildlife, Ecology, Habitat, Threatened species and Zoology. His work in Wildlife tackles topics such as Fishery which are related to areas like Coastal management and Escapism. Michael A. Weston combines topics linked to Morphology with his work on Ecology.

The Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Recreation and Environmental resource management. His Threatened species research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biodiversity, Bird conservation and Space use. His research in the fields of Kentish plover overlaps with other disciplines such as Leg length.
