What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Herbivore, Botany, Resistance, Hybrid and Ecology are his primary areas of study.
He works mostly in the field of Herbivore, limiting it down to topics relating to Woody plant and, in certain cases, Stipule, as a part of the same area of interest.
His research in Botany is mostly focused on Salicaceae.
His Salicaceae study incorporates themes from Willow and Guild.
His work deals with themes such as Pest control, Agroforestry and Herbivorous insects, which intersect with Resistance.
Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Parasite hosting with Parasite hosting, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His most cited work include:
- Plant resistance to herbivores and pathogens: ecology, evolution, and genetics. (513 citations)
- PARASITE MEDIATION IN ECOLOGICAL INTERACTIONS (287 citations)
- Costs of plant resistance to herbivory. (227 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Herbivore, Ecology, Willow and Salicaceae.
His Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural enemies, Community structure and Resistance.
His studies deal with areas such as Pest control and Herbivorous insects as well as Resistance.
Ecology is closely attributed to Reproductive success in his research.
Robert S. Fritz has included themes like Agronomy, Sawfly, Hymenoptera, Chemical defense and Arion subfuscus in his Willow study.
His Salicaceae study combines topics in areas such as Petiole, Seedling, Guild and Interspecific competition.
He most often published in these fields:
- Botany (58.18%)
- Herbivore (43.64%)
- Ecology (43.64%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2013)?
- Botany (58.18%)
- Willow (45.45%)
- Herbivore (43.64%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert S. Fritz spends much of his time researching Botany, Willow, Herbivore, Hybrid and Genetic variation.
His Botany research is mostly focused on the topic Woody plant.
His studies deal with areas such as Nutrient and Agronomy as well as Willow.
To a larger extent, Robert S. Fritz studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Herbivore.
His work on Juvenile as part of general Ecology research is often related to Trade offs, thus linking different fields of science.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Epistasis and Backcrossing in addition to Hybrid.
Between 2001 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- Plant genetic differences influence herbivore community structure: evidence from a hybrid willow system (91 citations)
- The effects of plant genetic variation and soil nutrients on secondary chemistry and growth in a shrubby willow, Salix sericea: patterns and constraints on the evolution of resistance traits (47 citations)
- Slugs, willow seedlings and nutrient fertilization: intrinsic vigor inversely affects palatability (44 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Robert S. Fritz mainly focuses on Genetic variation, Salix sericea, Willow, Botany and Nutrient.
His Genetic variation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Heritability, Ecology, Phenotypic plasticity and Salicaceae.
His Salix sericea study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Relative species abundance, Interspecific competition, Hybrid, Additive genetic effects and Community structure.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agronomy and Human fertilization.
His work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Gastropoda.
