What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Ecosystem
His main research concerns Ecology, Food web, Ecosystem, Species richness and Food chain.
His Non-trophic networks, Niche, Ecological network, Ectotherm and Habitat investigations are all subjects of Ecology research.
His Niche research incorporates themes from Taxon, Omnivore, Marine ecosystem, Fishing and Reef.
In Ecological network, Richard J. Williams works on issues like Network theory, which are connected to Cluster analysis, Biological system and Terrestrial ecosystem.
His work in Species richness tackles topics such as Biodiversity which are related to areas like Coextinction.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Food chain, Trophic species are connected with Trophic cascade and other disciplines.
His most cited work include:
- Network structure and biodiversity loss in food webs: robustness increases with connectance (1144 citations)
- Simple rules yield complex food webs (1115 citations)
- Food-web structure and network theory: The role of connectance and size. (989 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Ecology, Food web, Ecological network, Food chain and Ecosystem.
His study in Ecology focuses on Trophic level, Habitat, Biodiversity, Predation and Species richness.
His study on Non-trophic networks is often connected to Stability as part of broader study in Food web.
His research integrates issues of Network theory and Complex network in his study of Ecological network.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological system and Terrestrial ecosystem.
His research in Ecosystem intersects with topics in Biomass, Transect and Taxon.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard J. Williams spends much of his time researching Ecology, Food web, Ecological network, Trophic level and Ecosystem.
In the field of Ecology, his study on Predation, Habitat and Environmental quality overlaps with subjects such as Geography.
He mostly deals with Non-trophic networks in his studies of Food web.
His Ecological network research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Network theory and Complex network.
His work in the fields of Trophic level, such as Trophic species, overlaps with other areas such as Complex dynamics.
The concepts of his Ecosystem study are interwoven with issues in Biomass and Vegetation.
Between 2010 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- More than a meal… integrating non-feeding interactions into food webs. (250 citations)
- Parasites affect food web structure primarily through increased diversity and complexity. (162 citations)
- Mechanistic theory and modelling of complex food-web dynamics in Lake Constance. (99 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Biodiversity
Richard J. Williams mainly investigates Ecology, Food web, Trophic level, Ecological network and Predation.
By researching both Ecology and Bipartite graph, he produces research that crosses academic boundaries.
His research in Food web is mostly concerned with Non-trophic networks.
He frequently studies issues relating to Ecosystem and Trophic level.
His Ecological network research incorporates elements of Habitat and Network theory.
Richard J. Williams has included themes like Biodiversity, Foraging and Allometry in his Predation study.
