Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • Natural selection

Peter A. Abrams focuses on Ecology, Predation, Predator, Functional response and Foraging. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Population density and Density dependence. Peter A. Abrams works mostly in the field of Predation, limiting it down to concerns involving Per capita and, occasionally, Harm.

His study focuses on the intersection of Predator and fields such as Adaptation with connections in the field of Animal ecology, Evolutionarily stable strategy, Adaptive value, Fitness landscape and Evolutionary suicide. In the subject of general Foraging, his work in Optimal foraging theory is often linked to Theoretical models, Starvation and Short duration, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The concepts of his Competition study are interwoven with issues in Intraspecific competition and Econometrics.

His most cited work include:

  • The nature of predation: prey dependent, ratio dependent or neither? (592 citations)
  • The Evolution of Predator-Prey Interactions: Theory and Evidence (534 citations)
  • The interaction between predation and competition: a review and synthesis (530 citations)

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

Ecology, Predation, Predator, Competition and Foraging are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Population size and Econometrics in addition to Ecology. He has included themes like Per capita and Consumer-resource systems in his Econometrics study.

His research investigates the connection between Predation and topics such as Density dependence that intersect with issues in Population growth. His Predator study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mutualism, Animal ecology, Coevolution and Abundance. The various areas that he examines in his Competition study include Character displacement, Resource, Intraspecific competition and Niche.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (76.73%)
  • Predation (37.62%)
  • Predator (27.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Ecology (76.73%)
  • Predation (37.62%)
  • Population size (11.39%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Predation, Population size, Predator and Food chain. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Econometrics. His research in Predation intersects with topics in Extinction and Percidae.

His Population size study incorporates themes from Population density, Density dependence and Overexploitation. Peter A. Abrams combines subjects such as Abundance, Metacommunity and Apex predator with his study of Predator. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Food chain, concentrating on Ideal free distribution and intersecting with Trophic function, Adaptive traits and Evolutionarily stable strategy.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of communities and ecosystems (415 citations)
  • REVISITING THE CLASSICS: CONSIDERING NONCONSUMPTIVE EFFECTS IN TEXTBOOK EXAMPLES OF PREDATOR–PREY INTERACTIONS (341 citations)
  • Disruptive selection and then what (233 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • Habitat

Peter A. Abrams mostly deals with Ecology, Predation, Interspecific competition, Econometrics and Food web. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Variety and Metacommunity. His work in the fields of Predation, such as Predator, overlaps with other areas such as Bioenergetics.

His research integrates issues of Niche differentiation, Competition, Resource depletion and Consumer-resource systems in his study of Interspecific competition. Peter A. Abrams has researched Econometrics in several fields, including Energy allocation and Applied mathematics. His Generalist and specialist species research includes elements of Environmental variation and Competition.
