What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Predation, Daphnia, Cladocera and Phenotypic plasticity.
Many of his studies on Ecology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Zoology.
His DNA barcoding study in the realm of Zoology interacts with subjects such as Transgenerational epigenetics.
His study in the fields of Predator under the domain of Predation overlaps with other disciplines such as Complete information.
In his work, Adaptive value and Coevolution is strongly intertwined with Chaoborus flavicans, which is a subfield of Phenotypic plasticity.
His study in Functional response is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Optimal foraging theory and Trophic function.
His most cited work include:
- Transgenerational induction of defences in animals and plants (626 citations)
- PREDATOR FUNCTIONAL RESPONSES: DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN HANDLING AND DIGESTING PREY (461 citations)
- Consumer‐food systems: why type I functional responses are exclusive to filter feeders (253 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Ecology, Predation, Zoology, Daphnia and Phenotypic plasticity.
Ecology is often connected to Evolutionary biology in his work.
He studies Predator which is a part of Predation.
His study looks at the intersection of Zoology and topics like Genetic variability with Hermatypic coral.
His Daphnia course of study focuses on Cladocera and Plankton.
Ralph Tollrian works mostly in the field of Phenotypic plasticity, limiting it down to topics relating to Adaptation and, in certain cases, Model organism, as a part of the same area of interest.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (62.26%)
- Predation (37.74%)
- Zoology (33.96%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Zoology (33.96%)
- Predation (37.74%)
- Daphnia (32.08%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Predation, Daphnia, Crustacean and Predator.
His studies deal with areas such as Genetic isolate, Genetic variability, Genetic structure and Habitat as well as Zoology.
Ralph Tollrian combines subjects such as Droseraceae, Taxonomy and Cladocera with his study of Predation.
His work deals with themes such as Trophic level, Midge, Larva and Phenotypic plasticity, which intersect with Daphnia.
His Predator research includes elements of Predatory fish, Swarming and Herbivore.
Range is a subfield of Ecology that Ralph Tollrian studies.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Rising pCO2 in Freshwater Ecosystems Has the Potential to Negatively Affect Predator-Induced Defenses in Daphnia (38 citations)
- Identification of Chaoborus kairomone chemicals that induce defences in Daphnia (23 citations)
- Zooplankters’ nightmare: the fast and efficient catching basket of larval phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoborus) (11 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Ralph Tollrian spends much of his time researching Daphnia, Zoology, Daphnia pulex, Cladocera and Ecology.
As part of his studies on Daphnia, Ralph Tollrian frequently links adjacent subjects like Trophic level.
His Zoology research includes themes of Predator and Predation.
His Predator research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Predatory fish, Swarming and Herbivore.
His research in Cladocera intersects with topics in Nematocera, Pulex and Mandible.
Biogeochemistry, Carbon cycle, Ecosystem, Freshwater ecosystem and Ocean acidification are among the areas of Ecology where he concentrates his study.
