Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Communication

Michael D. Beecher mainly investigates Communication, Repertoire, Zoology, Melospiza and Animal communication. In Communication, Michael D. Beecher works on issues like Matching, which are connected to Type. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Incubation, Reproductive strategy and Sociobiology.

His Melospiza study is related to the wider topic of Sparrow. His work carried out in the field of Sparrow brings together such families of science as Social relation, Animal ecology and Mimicry. His research investigates the connection between Animal communication and topics such as Perception that intersect with problems in Macaque, Vocal communication and Active listening.

His most cited work include:

  • Functional aspects of song learning in songbirds (344 citations)
  • Evolution and Learning (283 citations)
  • Song as an aggressive signal in songbirds (272 citations)

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

Melospiza, Communication, Animal communication, Zoology and Repertoire are his primary areas of study. His Melospiza study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Singing and Songbird. His work in Communication addresses subjects such as Matching, which are connected to disciplines such as Type.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Social psychology, Perception and Sound production in addition to Animal communication. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Ecology and Parent offspring. His Repertoire study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Speech recognition, Seasonal breeder and Memorization.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Melospiza (41.38%)
  • Communication (38.79%)
  • Animal communication (23.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Melospiza (41.38%)
  • Communication (38.79%)
  • Aggression (11.21%)

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

Michael D. Beecher focuses on Melospiza, Communication, Aggression, Sparrow and Animal communication. His Melospiza research is within the category of Zoology. His study in Communication focuses on Territoriality in particular.

His Aggression research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Honesty and Affect. His study in Animal communication is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Modality, Speech recognition and Noise. His studies examine the connections between Repertoire and genetics, as well as such issues in Seasonal breeder, with regards to Social relation.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution and Learning (283 citations)
  • Song type matching is an honest early threat signal in a hierarchical animal communication system. (82 citations)
  • Extrapair paternity, song, and genetic quality in song sparrows (63 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Statistics

Michael D. Beecher mostly deals with Melospiza, Communication, Sparrow, Social psychology and Animal communication. His Melospiza study combines Ecology and Zoology studies. His work in Communication tackles topics such as Singing which are related to areas like Vocal learning and Perception.

His Sparrow research incorporates elements of Cognitive psychology and Repertoire. As a part of the same scientific study, Michael D. Beecher usually deals with the Repertoire, concentrating on Mating and frequently concerns with Nest. Michael D. Beecher interconnects Riparia and Burrow in the investigation of issues within Social psychology.
