1996 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Herbivore, Species richness, Ecosystem and Biodiversity. All of his Ecology and Trophic level and Lepidoptera genitalia investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. His work on Trophic cascade as part of general Trophic level study is frequently connected to Natural resource economics, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

When carried out as part of a general Herbivore research project, his work on Plant tolerance to herbivory is frequently linked to work in Plant defense against herbivory, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work in Species richness covers topics such as Community which are related to areas like Understory, Tannin, Canopy and Botany. He combines subjects such as Temperate forest, Rainforest and Mesopredator release hypothesis with his study of Biodiversity.

His most cited work include:

  • Trophic Downgrading of Planet Earth (2277 citations)
  • Facing herbivory as you grow up: the ontogeny of resistance in plants (577 citations)
  • Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (422 citations)

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

Robert J. Marquis spends much of his time researching Ecology, Herbivore, Species richness, Botany and Predation. His Ecology research focuses on Biodiversity, Abundance, Ecosystem, Trophic level and Lepidoptera genitalia. His Biodiversity study frequently involves adjacent topics like Biomass.

His work is connected to Trophic cascade and Ecosystem engineer, as a part of Ecosystem. His research integrates issues of Parasitoid, Insect, Fagaceae and Agronomy in his study of Herbivore. His Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Ecological niche, Logging, Forest ecology, Species diversity and Community.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (73.33%)
  • Herbivore (53.33%)
  • Species richness (21.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (73.33%)
  • Arboreal locomotion (4.44%)
  • Predation (14.44%)

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

Robert J. Marquis focuses on Ecology, Arboreal locomotion, Predation, Herbivore and Lepidoptera genitalia. Insect, Climate change, Biomass, Biodiversity and Species richness are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His study looks at the intersection of Biomass and topics like Biological organisation with Trophic cascade.

Robert J. Marquis connects Herbivore with Plant defense against herbivory in his research. Robert J. Marquis interconnects Fauna, Hymenoptera, Guild and Parasitism in the investigation of issues within Lepidoptera genitalia. His work investigates the relationship between Abundance and topics such as Range that intersect with problems in Ecosystem.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological And Evolutionary Legacy Of Megafauna Extinctions (91 citations)
  • Tri‐trophic interactions: bridging species, communities and ecosystems (17 citations)
  • Trade-offs between growth, reproduction and defense in response to resource availability manipulations. (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Trophic cascade, Bark, Stryphnodendron adstringens and Plant defense against herbivory. His work in Food web, Trophic level, Ecosystem, Food chain and Biomass is related to Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Biological organisation, Anthropocene, Paleoecology and Evolutionary ecology as well as Trophic cascade.

Robert J. Marquis has included themes like Inflorescence, Herbivore, Agronomy and Tannin in his Bark study. His work in Stryphnodendron adstringens is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Fertilizer.
