Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Pest control, Botany, Context, Ecology and Integrated pest management are his primary areas of study. Pest control is the subject of his research, which falls under Agronomy. Philip C. Stevenson combines subjects such as Asterales and Euphorbiaceae with his study of Agronomy.

His work in Botany is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Food science. His Integrated pest management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Agroforestry, Ecosystem services, Agriculture, Sorghum and Cultural control. His work on Crop protection as part of his general Agroforestry study is frequently connected to Business and Global vision, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Caffeine in Floral Nectar Enhances a Pollinator's Memory of Reward (170 citations)
  • Caffeine in Floral Nectar Enhances a Pollinator's Memory of Reward (170 citations)
  • Synthesis of cicerfuran, an antifungal benzofuran, and some related analogues (166 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Pollinator, Agronomy, Pest control and Nectar. His work on Toxicity expands to the thematically related Botany. His study focuses on the intersection of Pollinator and fields such as Foraging with connections in the field of Zoology, Bombus terrestris and Nosema bombi.

His studies deal with areas such as PEST analysis and Horticulture as well as Agronomy. His Pest control research integrates issues from Agroforestry, Pesticide, Biotechnology and Integrated pest management. Philip C. Stevenson focuses mostly in the field of Nectar, narrowing it down to topics relating to Nectar source and, in certain cases, Nectar guide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (48.73%)
  • Pollinator (38.14%)
  • Agronomy (30.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Pollinator (38.14%)
  • Pollen (22.46%)
  • Nectar (26.27%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pollinator, Pollen, Nectar, Botany and Pollination. Pollinator is a subfield of Ecology that Philip C. Stevenson investigates. Philip C. Stevenson has included themes like Zoology, Herbivore and Abiotic component in his Nectar study.

His study focuses on the intersection of Botany and fields such as Phytosterol with connections in the field of Chemotaxonomy and Chemical ecology. His Pollination study also includes fields such as

  • Phaseolus, Lantana camara, Tephrosia vogelii, Pesticide and Biological pest control most often made with reference to Crop,
  • Ceratopogonidae which is related to area like Forcipomyia, Odor and Agroecology. The various areas that he examines in his Agroforestry study include Pest control and Food security.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Chemistry of floral rewards: intra‐ and interspecific variability of nectar and pollen secondary metabolites across taxa (35 citations)
  • Chemistry of floral rewards: intra‐ and interspecific variability of nectar and pollen secondary metabolites across taxa (35 citations)
  • Pesticidal Plant Extracts Improve Yield and Reduce Insect Pests on Legume Crops Without Harming Beneficial Arthropods. (27 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Pollinator, Nectar, Integrated pest management, Herbivore and Pollination. His Pollinator research is included under the broader classification of Ecology. In his work, Adaptation and Insect is strongly intertwined with Zoology, which is a subfield of Nectar.

His studies in Integrated pest management integrate themes in fields like Pesticide, Plutella, Myzus persicae and Horticulture. As part of his Pollen and Botany and Pollination studies, Philip C. Stevenson is studying Pollination. Philip C. Stevenson has researched Botany in several fields, including Species richness, Intraspecific competition, Selective breeding and Abiotic component.
