What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Artificial intelligence
Ecology, Nest, Temnothorax albipennis, Leptothorax and Tandem running are his primary areas of study.
Borrowing concepts from Division of labour, Nigel R. Franks weaves in ideas under Ecology.
His Nest research incorporates elements of Sex pheromone, Macrotermes, Brood and ANT.
Nigel R. Franks has researched Temnothorax albipennis in several fields, including Formicoidea, Econometrics and Linkage.
The various areas that Nigel R. Franks examines in his Leptothorax study include Roof and Architectural engineering.
As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Tandem running, narrowing it down to issues related to the Group decision-making, and often Judgement.
His most cited work include:
- Self-Organization in Biological Systems (2583 citations)
- Effective leadership and decision-making in animal groups on the move (1928 citations)
- Collective memory and spatial sorting in animal groups. (1399 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Nest, Temnothorax albipennis, Tandem running and Foraging.
His work is connected to Aculeata, Leptothorax, Hymenoptera, Animal ecology and Eciton, as a part of Ecology.
As a member of one scientific family, Nigel R. Franks mostly works in the field of Nest, focusing on Artificial intelligence and, on occasion, Communication.
His Temnothorax albipennis research integrates issues from Cognitive psychology and Social psychology, Group decision-making.
Nigel R. Franks frequently studies issues relating to Quality and Group decision-making.
Nigel R. Franks is involved in the study of Foraging that focuses on Forage in particular.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (43.54%)
- Nest (29.52%)
- Temnothorax albipennis (28.78%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Temnothorax albipennis (28.78%)
- Nest (29.52%)
- Ecology (43.54%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Nigel R. Franks mainly focuses on Temnothorax albipennis, Nest, Ecology, Artificial intelligence and Bayesian probability.
Nigel R. Franks has included themes like Animal ecology and Eusociality in his Temnothorax albipennis study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cognitive psychology and Social psychology, Group decision-making.
In Group decision-making, Nigel R. Franks works on issues like Quality, which are connected to Demography, Preference and Private information retrieval.
In his works, Nigel R. Franks conducts interdisciplinary research on Ecology and Quorum sensing.
His research investigates the connection between Artificial intelligence and topics such as Machine learning that intersect with problems in Sampling, Foraging and Mechanism.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Ants show a leftward turning bias when exploring unknown nest sites (37 citations)
- How collective comparisons emerge without individual comparisons of the options (28 citations)
- Variability in individual assessment behaviour and its implications for collective decision-making. (21 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Artificial intelligence
His main research concerns Temnothorax albipennis, Ecology, Nest, Animal communication and Nest site.
His study with Temnothorax albipennis involves better knowledge in Artificial intelligence.
His work in the fields of Intertidal zone, Collective motion and Invertebrate overlaps with other areas such as Quorum sensing and Social behaviour.
His research integrates issues of Null model, Group decision-making, Econometrics and Evolutionary ecology in his study of Nest.
His Animal communication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Social psychology and Tandem running.
Nigel R. Franks combines subjects such as Quality, Real-time computing and ANT with his study of Nest site.
