What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Insect
- Social psychology
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Honey bee, Aculeata, Hymenoptera and Evolutionary biology.
His Eusociality and Foraging study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Process and Flowchart, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Honey bee research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Communication, Sex pheromone, Kin recognition, Demography and Mean age.
His Hymenoptera study incorporates themes from Animal ecology and Nest.
The Kin selection and Social evolution research Michael D. Breed does as part of his general Evolutionary biology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Macrocyclic lactone and Chemical basis, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His work deals with themes such as Apoidea, Wax and Brood, which intersect with Apidae.
His most cited work include:
- Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)
- DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR OF HONEY BEES: Organization, Genetics, and Comparisons with Other Bees (241 citations)
- Pheromone Communication In Social Insects: Ants, Wasps, Bees, And Termites (241 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Zoology, Hymenoptera, Aculeata and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study.
Foraging, Honey bee, Paraponera clavata, Nest and Eusociality are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
His Honey bee research incorporates elements of Honey Bees and Communication.
In his study, Agonistic behaviour and Dominance hierarchy is strongly linked to Cockroach, which falls under the umbrella field of Zoology.
His Hymenoptera research includes elements of Animal ecology, ANT and Nectar.
His Aculeata study which covers Apidae that intersects with Apoidea.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (29.33%)
- Zoology (15.55%)
- Hymenoptera (14.13%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Social psychology (8.48%)
- Ecology (29.33%)
- Communication (10.25%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Social psychology, Ecology, Communication, Evolutionary biology and Cognitive science.
His studies in Social psychology integrate themes in fields like Kin selection, Association and Dilemma.
His research on Ecology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Zoology.
The various areas that Michael D. Breed examines in his Zoology study include Life History Characteristics, Habitat, Red queen, Evolutionary arms race and Biological dispersal.
The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Domestication, Mate choice, Mating and Reproductive isolation.
He has researched Cognitive science in several fields, including Nature versus nurture and Sociobiology.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The african Honey Bee (55 citations)
- Octopamine and tyramine modulate the thermoregulatory fanning response in honey bees (Apis mellifera). (9 citations)
- Assessing Behavioral Associations in a Hybrid Zone through Social Network Analysis: Complex Assortative Behaviors Structure Associations in a Hybrid Quail Population. (5 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Insect
- Social psychology
His primary areas of investigation include Entomology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Honey bee and Mating.
His work often combines Ecology and Nitrogen studies.
His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Social network, Expression, Domestication and Reproductive isolation.
His Honey bee study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Affect, Kin recognition, Juvenile hormone, Identification and Aggression.
As part of one scientific family, Michael D. Breed deals mainly with the area of Mating, narrowing it down to issues related to the Habitat, and often Zoology.
His Foraging study combines topics in areas such as Honey bee life cycle, Worker bee, Beekeeping and Introduced species.
