2016 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Statistics

Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Species diversity and Abundance are his primary areas of study. His is doing research in Habitat, Ecosystem, Rapoport's rule, Biogeography and Global biodiversity, both of which are found in Ecology. He focuses mostly in the field of Ecosystem, narrowing it down to matters related to Local adaptation and, in some cases, Range.

His work in Species richness addresses subjects such as Spatial ecology, which are connected to disciplines such as Productivity and Grassland. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Biomass and Agroforestry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxonomic rank and Zoology.

His most cited work include:

  • Leptospirosis: a zoonotic disease of global importance (1564 citations)
  • LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS OF BIODIVERSITY:Pattern,Process,Scale,and Synthesis (1358 citations)
  • WHAT IS THE OBSERVED RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPECIES RICHNESS AND PRODUCTIVITY (1306 citations)

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

Michael R. Willig mostly deals with Ecology, Species richness, Biodiversity, Habitat and Abundance. Species diversity, Species evenness, Ecosystem, Experimental forest and Ecology are the core of his Ecology study. His study looks at the intersection of Species richness and topics like Taxon with Zoology.

His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Rainforest, Guild, Frugivore and Threatened species. His Habitat study incorporates themes from Metacommunity, Abiotic component and Understory. His Abundance study frequently involves adjacent topics like Secondary succession.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (73.80%)
  • Species richness (32.75%)
  • Biodiversity (27.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (73.80%)
  • Biodiversity (27.07%)
  • Species richness (32.75%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Abundance and Ecology. All of his Ecology and Species evenness, Rainforest, Understory, Experimental forest and Habitat investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Old-growth forest, Threatened species, Ecological niche and Guild.

His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Taxon, Range, Ecosystem and Biogeography. His research investigates the link between Abundance and topics such as Beta diversity that cross with problems in Statistics. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Community, Host and Wildlife.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Creation of forest edges has a global impact on forest vertebrates (158 citations)
  • BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene (113 citations)
  • The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project (84 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Biodiversity

Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Abundance and Rainforest are his primary areas of study. Particularly relevant to Understory is his body of work in Ecology. His research integrates issues of Old-growth forest and Guild in his study of Biodiversity.

His Species richness research includes themes of Taxon, Range and Species diversity. Michael R. Willig has researched Abundance in several fields, including Habitat, Gamma diversity, Beta diversity and Alpha diversity. His Rainforest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tropical climate, Climate change mitigation, Global warming, Decomposer and Trophic level.
