What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Extinction
- Habitat
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Spatial heterogeneity, Biological dispersal, Metacommunity and Metapopulation.
His Ecology course of study focuses on Source–sink dynamics and Biological system.
His Biological dispersal research includes elements of Evolutionary ecology, Human behavioral ecology, Evolutionary dynamics, Evolutionary trap and Functional ecology.
His study in Metapopulation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Allee effect and Extinction, Extinction rate.
His research in Community intersects with topics in Ecology, Patch dynamics and Species sorting.
His work deals with themes such as Natural population growth and Intraspecific competition, which intersect with Ecology.
His most cited work include:
- The metacommunity concept: a framework for multi-scale community ecology (3228 citations)
- Why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology (1282 citations)
- Pollen limitation of plant reproduction: Ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences (890 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Priyanga Amarasekare spends much of his time researching Ecology, Competition, Biological dispersal, Ectotherm and Predation.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Metapopulation and Extinction.
In the field of Competition, his study on Coexistence theory overlaps with subjects such as Trait.
His work on Metacommunity as part of general Biological dispersal study is frequently linked to Spatial variability, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His work in the fields of Predation, such as Intraguild predation, overlaps with other areas such as Resource based.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Natural population growth, Genetic variation and Species sorting in addition to Community.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (84.75%)
- Competition (27.12%)
- Biological dispersal (27.12%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ectotherm (22.03%)
- Ecology (84.75%)
- Competition (27.12%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Ectotherm, Ecology, Competition, Trophic level and Biodiversity.
Ectotherm is intertwined with Trait and Directionality in his study.
His Competition research integrates issues from Niche differentiation, Ecological niche, Generalist and specialist species and Evolutionary biology.
The various areas that Priyanga Amarasekare examines in his Niche differentiation study include Biomass, Spatial heterogeneity, Genetic algorithm and Extinction.
His studies deal with areas such as Food web and Abiotic component as well as Generalist and specialist species.
His work investigates the relationship between Biodiversity and topics such as Temperate climate that intersect with problems in Abundance, Life history theory, Global warming and Extinction threshold.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Effects of Climate Warming on Consumer-Resource Interactions: A Latitudinal Perspective (8 citations)
- Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Thermal Niche Partitioning (4 citations)
- The evolution of coexistence theory. (3 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Extinction
- Habitat
Ectotherm, Ecology, Environmental variation, Invisibility and Statistical physics are his primary areas of study.
Priyanga Amarasekare has included themes like Ecological niche, Competition, Niche differentiation, Food web and Generalist and specialist species in his Ectotherm study.
His research brings together the fields of Extinction threshold and Ecology.
His Environmental variation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Storage effect and Coexistence theory.
