Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Introduced species, Biodiversity, Urbanization and Species richness. Ecology is closely attributed to Extinction in his research. The Introduced species study combines topics in areas such as Population size, Species diversity and Invasive species.

He does research in Urbanization, focusing on Urban ecology specifically. Michael L. McKinney interconnects Spatial heterogeneity, Urban wildlife, Body size and species richness and Environmental planning in the investigation of issues within Urban ecology. In general Species richness study, his work on Beta diversity often relates to the realm of Homogenization, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Urbanization, Biodiversity, and Conservation (2309 citations)
  • Urbanization as a major cause of biotic homogenization (2022 citations)
  • Biotic homogenization: a few winners replacing many losers in the next mass extinction (1701 citations)

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

Michael L. McKinney mainly focuses on Ecology, Introduced species, Biodiversity, Species richness and Extinction. His study looks at the intersection of Ecology and topics like Population size with Per capita. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Habitat and Invasive species.

His work deals with themes such as Urbanization, Ecosystem services, Global change and Environmental planning, which intersect with Biodiversity. His Urbanization research is mostly focused on the topic Urban ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Abundance, Paleontology and IUCN Red List as well as Extinction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (57.89%)
  • Introduced species (24.21%)
  • Biodiversity (21.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Ecology (57.89%)
  • Biodiversity (21.05%)
  • Species richness (18.95%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Introduced species and Land snail. His work in Taxonomic rank, Global warming, Effects of global warming, Indicator species and Taxon is related to Ecology. His Homogenization study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biodiversity, is frequently linked to Phylogenetic diversity, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His study in the field of Beta diversity is also linked to topics like Pangaea. In most of his Introduced species studies, his work intersects topics such as Invasive species. His work carried out in the field of Snail brings together such families of science as Species evenness, Habitat, Urban ecology and Vegetation.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pattern and process of biotic homogenization in the New Pangaea (122 citations)
  • The contribution of wild urban ecosystems to liveable cities (16 citations)
  • Urbanization impacts on land snail community composition (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

His main research concerns Species richness, Ecology, Sustainability, Ecosystem services and Environmental planning. His Species richness study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Land snail, Snail, Vegetation and Urban ecology. Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Pangaea with Pangaea, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His studies in Sustainability integrate themes in fields like Biodiversity, Wilderness, Urban planning, Urbanization and Ecosystem. His Ecosystem services research incorporates elements of Urban ecosystem, Environmental protection, Citizen science, Recreation and Wilderness area. He integrates Environmental planning with Visitor pattern in his research.
