Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Herbivore, Rainforest, Biodiversity and Habitat. Ecology is represented through her Host, Resource, Insect, Community and Temperate forest research. Phyllis D. Coley interconnects Inducible plant defenses against herbivory, EICA hypothesis and Plant tolerance to herbivory in the investigation of issues within Resource.

While working in this field, Phyllis D. Coley studies both Herbivore and Plant defense against herbivory. Her study on Rainforest also encompasses disciplines like

  • Greening most often made with reference to Interspecific competition,
  • Disturbance which is related to area like Primary succession and Environmental protection. Phyllis D. Coley focuses mostly in the field of Habitat, narrowing it down to matters related to Amazon rainforest and, in some cases, Trade-off, Resistance and Natural selection.

Her most cited work include:

  • Resource Availability and Plant Antiherbivore Defense (3030 citations)
  • HERBIVORY AND DEFENSIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF TREE SPECIES IN A LOWLAND TROPICAL FOREST (1288 citations)
  • Allocating Resources to Reproduction and DefenseNew assessments of the costs and benefits of allocation patterns in plants are relating ecological roles to resource use (796 citations)

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

Phyllis D. Coley spends much of her time researching Ecology, Herbivore, Botany, Inga and Biodiversity. Her Ecology study is mostly concerned with Habitat, Host, Rainforest, Ecosystem and Species richness. The various areas that she examines in her Rainforest study include Greening and Interspecific competition.

In her articles, Phyllis D. Coley combines various disciplines, including Herbivore and Plant defense against herbivory. Her study looks at the intersection of Inga and topics like Competition with Density dependence. Her Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sustainability and Ecosystem services.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (81.01%)
  • Herbivore (73.42%)
  • Botany (50.63%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (81.01%)
  • Herbivore (73.42%)
  • Inga (34.18%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Herbivore, Inga, Botany and Host. Her Ecology and Biodiversity and Habitat investigations all form part of her Ecology research activities. In her papers, Phyllis D. Coley integrates diverse fields, such as Herbivore and Plant defense against herbivory.

Her Inga research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Calyx, Allopatric speciation, Genus and Amazon rainforest. While the research belongs to areas of Botany, Phyllis D. Coley spends her time largely on the problem of Metabolome, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Understory, Intraspecific competition and Chemical defense. In her research, Evolutionary ecology and Community structure is intimately related to Coevolution, which falls under the overarching field of Host.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The global distribution of diet breadth in insect herbivores (296 citations)
  • The global distribution of diet breadth in insect herbivores (296 citations)
  • Dispersal assembly of rain forest tree communities across the Amazon basin. (62 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Herbivore, Biodiversity, Inga and Coevolution. Her research in the fields of Biogeography, Habitat and Insect overlaps with other disciplines such as High rate and Plant defense against herbivory. Her Biogeography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Allopatric speciation, Metacommunity, Biological dispersal and Amazon rainforest.

Her work deals with themes such as Biotic component, Woody plant, Species diversity, Plant community and Conservation biology, which intersect with Habitat. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Species richness, Ecosystem and Tropics. Her work on Fabaceae as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to High potential, bridging the gap between disciplines.
