Robert S. Boyd

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecology
• Botany
• Ecosystem

Robert S. Boyd focuses on Botany, Hyperaccumulator, Herbivore, Ecology and Streptanthus polygaloides. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Metal and Seed dispersal syndrome. His Hyperaccumulator study typically links adjacent topics like Aphid.

Robert S. Boyd interconnects Soil water, Generalist and specialist species, Abiotic component and Plant litter in the investigation of issues within Herbivore. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Seed dispersal that intersect with problems in Seedling, Allelopathy, Competition and Decomposer. His work deals with themes such as Lipaphis erysimi, Dry weight, Lygus and Streptanthus, which intersect with Streptanthus polygaloides.

His most cited work include:

• Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review (291 citations)
• The defense hypothesis of elemental hyperaccumulation: status, challenges and new directions (238 citations)
• Heavy Metal Pollutants and Chemical Ecology: Exploring New Frontiers (180 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Hyperaccumulator, Ecology, Ultramafic rock and Herbivore. His Botany research incorporates elements of Soil water, Streptanthus polygaloides and Metal. His studies examine the connections between Streptanthus polygaloides and genetics, as well as such issues in Horticulture, with regards to Apios priceana.

His work carried out in the field of Hyperaccumulator brings together such families of science as Host and Nickel. Robert S. Boyd has researched Herbivore in several fields, including Insect, Generalist and specialist species and Predation. His work investigates the relationship between Soil classification and topics such as Agronomy that intersect with problems in Shrub.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (60.00%)
• Hyperaccumulator (38.52%)
• Ecology (32.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

• Botany (60.00%)
• Ecology (32.59%)
• Ecology (6.67%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Ecology, Ecology, Ultramafic rock and Ecosystem. His Botany research includes themes of Hyperaccumulator, Clematis morefieldii and Agronomy. His Hyperaccumulator study incorporates themes from Callus, Biochemistry and Metallophyte.

Robert S. Boyd works in the field of Ecology, namely Plant ecology. His research investigates the connection with Ecology and areas like Biodiversity which intersect with concerns in Plant science and Forest management. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxonomic rank, Taxon, Habitat and Evolutionary ecology.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review (291 citations)
• A preliminary study of the role of nickel in enhancing flowering of the nickel hyperaccumulating plant Alyssum inflatum Nyár. (Brassicaceae) (27 citations)
• Testing the Joint Effects Hypothesis of Elemental Defense using Spodoptera Exigua (14 citations)

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

• Ecology
• Botany
• Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Botany, Hyperaccumulator, Ecology, Brassicaceae and Plant ecology. His Botany research integrates issues from Serpentine soil and Perlite. The various areas that Robert S. Boyd examines in his Hyperaccumulator study include Hoagland solution and Metallophyte.

In the subject of general Ecology, his work in Biodiversity and Ecology is often linked to Ultramafic rock and Delegation, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work on Alyssum as part of general Brassicaceae study is frequently connected to Ammonium, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Natural, Evolutionary ecology, Habitat and Taxon.
