Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Climate change and Biodiversity hotspot. In his research, Rafael Loyola undertakes multidisciplinary study on Ecology and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. Rafael Loyola combines subjects such as Endangered species, Habitat, Umbrella species, Land use and Conservation biology with his study of Biodiversity.

His Species richness research incorporates elements of Diversity, Biome and Species diversity. Rafael Loyola has researched Climate change in several fields, including Range, Environmental niche modelling and Species distribution. His studies deal with areas such as Cost–benefit analysis, Biological dispersal and Environmental resource management as well as Biodiversity hotspot.

His most cited work include:

  • A consistent metric for nestedness analysis in ecological systems: reconciling concept and measurement (1035 citations)
  • Partitioning and mapping uncertainties in ensembles of forecasts of species turnover under climate change (418 citations)
  • Moment of truth for the Cerrado hotspot. (273 citations)

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

Rafael Loyola mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Climate change, Species richness and Environmental resource management. His works in Habitat, Biodiversity hotspot, Species diversity, Ecological niche and Range are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. The concepts of his Species diversity study are interwoven with issues in Abundance and Ecosystem.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Endangered species, Land use, Amazon rainforest, Biome and Threatened species in addition to Biodiversity. His work in Threatened species covers topics such as Extinction which are related to areas like Amphibian. His Climate change research includes themes of Biological dispersal and Species distribution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (70.16%)
  • Biodiversity (49.74%)
  • Climate change (31.41%)

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

  • Ecology (70.16%)
  • Biodiversity (49.74%)
  • Climate change (31.41%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Climate change, Ecological niche and Environmental resource management. His Ecology research focuses on Species richness, Habitat, Deforestation, Atlantic forest and Ecology. His research in Biodiversity intersects with topics in Threatened species, Land use, Vegetation and Biome.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range, Amazon rainforest, Adaptation, Spatial ecology and Biological dispersal. His research integrates issues of Niche and Endangered species in his study of Ecological niche. His Environmental resource management study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Natural resource management, Extinction and Ecosystem services.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on biodiversity conservation. (107 citations)
  • Strategic approaches to restoring ecosystems can triple conservation gains and halve costs. (77 citations)
  • Biodiversity gains? The debate on changes in local- vs global-scale species richness (35 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

Rafael Loyola spends much of his time researching Biodiversity, Ecology, Environmental resource management, Climate change and Ecological niche. Rafael Loyola has included themes like Land use, Habitat, Amazon rainforest, Natural resource economics and Biome in his Biodiversity study. His research investigates the connection between Biome and topics such as Generalist and specialist species that intersect with issues in Biodiversity hotspot.

Rafael Loyola integrates many fields in his works, including Ecology and Scale. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Extinction, Sustainability, Threatened species and Ecosystem services. His research integrates issues of Environmental niche modelling, Common spatial pattern, Climate model and Abundance estimation in his study of Species richness.
