Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Genus

Ritsuo Nishida spends much of his time researching Botany, Tephritidae, Methyl eugenol, Sex pheromone and Pheromone. His work on Allomone, Swallowtail butterfly and Lepidoptera genitalia as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Pollinator, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research investigates the connection between Lepidoptera genitalia and topics such as Butterfly that intersect with problems in Host plants.

His Methyl eugenol research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phenylpropanoid and Mating. Sex pheromone is a subfield of Zoology that he studies. His Pheromone study which covers Melon fly that intersects with Raspberry ketone, Ingestion, Flor and Zingerone.

His most cited work include:

  • Sequestration of defensive substances from plants by Lepidoptera. (472 citations)
  • Methyl Eugenol: Its Occurrence, Distribution, and Role in Nature, Especially in Relation to Insect Behavior and Pollination (164 citations)
  • Synonymization of key pest species within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex (Diptera: Tephritidae): taxonomic changes based on a review of 20 years of integrative morphological, molecular, cytogenetic, behavioural and chemoecological data (140 citations)

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

Ritsuo Nishida mainly focuses on Botany, Zoology, Sex pheromone, Pheromone and Tephritidae. His study in Methyl eugenol, Lepidoptera genitalia, Swallowtail butterfly, Bactrocera and Larva is carried out as part of his Botany studies. His research in Methyl eugenol intersects with topics in Phenylpropanoid and Allomone.

His Zoology research incorporates elements of Blattellidae, German cockroach, Chemical ecology and Female sex. His studies deal with areas such as Acari, Biochemistry, Acaridae, Stereochemistry and Mite as well as Pheromone. His work on Bactrocera dorsalis as part of general Tephritidae study is frequently linked to Pollinium, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (51.01%)
  • Zoology (21.48%)
  • Sex pheromone (20.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Chemical ecology (6.71%)
  • Tephritidae (18.79%)
  • Botany (51.01%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Chemical ecology, Tephritidae, Botany, Bactrocera dorsalis and Ecology. He has included themes like Zoology, Mimicry, Carotenoid and Predation in his Chemical ecology study. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Larva, Danaus, Host, Adaptation and Aposematism.

In the subject of general Botany, his work in Methyl eugenol and Bactrocera is often linked to Pollinator and 7-Dehydrocholesterol, thereby combining diverse domains of study. The concepts of his Bactrocera dorsalis study are interwoven with issues in Taxonomy, Receptor, Bactrocera invadens and Species complex. Ritsuo Nishida has researched PEST analysis in several fields, including Sexual maturity, Pheromone and Sex pheromone.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Methyl Eugenol: Its Occurrence, Distribution, and Role in Nature, Especially in Relation to Insect Behavior and Pollination (164 citations)
  • Synonymization of key pest species within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex (Diptera: Tephritidae): taxonomic changes based on a review of 20 years of integrative morphological, molecular, cytogenetic, behavioural and chemoecological data (140 citations)
  • Chemical ecology of insect–plant interactions: ecological significance of plant secondary metabolites (54 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Genus

Ritsuo Nishida mostly deals with Tephritidae, Bactrocera, Bactrocera dorsalis, Sex pheromone and Pheromone. His work carried out in the field of Tephritidae brings together such families of science as Entomology, Synonym and Integrated pest management. His Bactrocera study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zoology, Ceratitis capitata and Anastrepha ludens.

Ritsuo Nishida interconnects Taxon and Species complex in the investigation of issues within Bactrocera dorsalis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Anastrepha and Kairomone in addition to Sex pheromone. Methyl eugenol is the topic of his studies on Botany and PEST analysis.
