1977 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Genus

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Environmental resource management, Species richness and Complementarity. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Grid and, on occasion, Habitat and Species level. His Optimization problem research extends to Biodiversity, which is thematically connected.

His Environmental resource management study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity conservation, Measurement of biodiversity, Climate change and Environmental planning. His studies deal with areas such as Taxon, Wildlife conservation, Threatened species and Species diversity as well as Species richness. He usually deals with Bumblebee and limits it to topics linked to Endangered species and Range.

His most cited work include:

  • What to protect?—Systematics and the agony of choice (1358 citations)
  • Beyond opportunism: Key principles for systematic reserve selection (893 citations)
  • Would climate change drive species out of reserves? An assessment of existing reserve‐selection methods (601 citations)

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

Paul H. Williams mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Bumblebee and Zoology. He interconnects Value, Habitat and Environmental resource management in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity. His Environmental resource management research integrates issues from Conservation planning, Ecology and Flexibility.

His research investigates the link between Species richness and topics such as Threatened species that cross with problems in Wildlife conservation and Protected area. His Bumblebee research incorporates elements of Ecological niche and Fauna. His work on Hymenoptera and Mimicry as part of general Zoology research is often related to Species complex, thus linking different fields of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (51.10%)
  • Biodiversity (29.67%)
  • Species richness (21.98%)

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

  • Bumblebee (21.43%)
  • Ecology (51.10%)
  • Zoology (14.84%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Bumblebee, Ecology, Zoology, Taxonomy and Pollinator. His research integrates issues of Climate change, Fauna and Ecological niche in his study of Bumblebee. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Biological dispersal.

His studies deal with areas such as Bombus and Bombini as well as Zoology. His work carried out in the field of Taxonomy brings together such families of science as Taxon and Hymenoptera. His IUCN Red List study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biodiversity, Conservation status, Invertebrate, Species richness and Conservation biology.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Unveiling cryptic species of the bumblebee subgenus Bombus s. str. worldwide with COI barcodes (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (119 citations)
  • Colour Patterns Do Not Diagnose Species: Quantitative Evaluation of a DNA Barcoded Cryptic Bumblebee Complex (93 citations)
  • Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide (73 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Biodiversity

Paul H. Williams spends much of his time researching Ecology, Bumblebee, Pollinator, Species complex and Subgenus. His Ecology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Biological dispersal. He regularly links together related areas like Species richness in his Bumblebee studies.

His studies in Species richness integrate themes in fields like Limiting similarity and Competition. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon and Range. The various areas that Paul H. Williams examines in his Taxon study include Systematics and Hymenoptera.
