Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Social science

Ecology, Zoology, Junglefowl, Nest and Nest box are his primary areas of study. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Polygyny. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Population size and Population study.

There are a combination of areas like Social organization, Flock, Fixation, Homing and Jungle integrated together with his Junglefowl study. His work in the fields of Nest, such as Nest site, overlaps with other areas such as Theme. Nest box connects with themes related to Habitat in his study.

His most cited work include:

  • Nest Building and Bird Behavior (291 citations)
  • A Field Study of the Red Jungle Fowl in North-Central India (198 citations)
  • The Analysis of Socialization in Sheep and Goats (179 citations)

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

Nicholas E. Collias mainly investigates Ecology, Nest, Zoology, Ploceus cucullatus and Flock. His work on Polygyny expands to the thematically related Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Courtship and Predation, which intersect with Nest.

His Courtship research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Animal communication and Communication. His research investigates the connection between Zoology and topics such as Hatching that intersect with problems in Fowl. His Flock research includes themes of Social organization, Fixation, Homing and Jungle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (59.72%)
  • Nest (40.28%)
  • Zoology (40.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2016)?

  • Ecology (59.72%)
  • Nest (40.28%)
  • Zoology (40.28%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Nest, Zoology, Courtship and Hatching. His work on Ecology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Art history. His Nest study focuses on Ploceus cucullatus in particular.

His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Natural selection, Population size and Population study. His Courtship research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sociable weaver and Communication. The concepts of his Hatching study are interwoven with issues in Natural population growth, Flock and Reproductive success.

Between 1990 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Social organization of a red junglefowl,Gallus gallus, population related to evolution theory (99 citations)
  • On the Origin and Evolution of Nest Building by Passerine Birds (91 citations)
  • Dominant Red Junglefowl (Gallus Gallus) Hens in an Unconfined Flock Rear the Most Young over Their Lifetime (31 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Social science

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Ecology, Hatching, Reproductive success and Junglefowl. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Population size and Population study. His study in the fields of Nest site and Habitat under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Shifting balance theory, Adaptive radiation and Multiple factors.

His Hatching research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural population growth and Flock.
