Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • IUCN Red List

Robert W. Elwood focuses on Ecology, Social psychology, Pagurus bernhardus, Hermit crab and Zoology. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Predation, Gammarus, Crustacean, Gammarus pulex and Amphipoda. The Social psychology study which covers Game theory that intersects with Social relation and Perception.

As part of one scientific family, Robert W. Elwood deals mainly with the area of Pagurus bernhardus, narrowing it down to issues related to the Agonistic behaviour, and often Ecology. His Hermit crab research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Aggression and Communication. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Litter and Allometry.

His most cited work include:

  • Assessment of fighting ability in animal contests (466 citations)
  • THE TROPHIC ECOLOGY OF FRESHWATER GAMMARUS SPP. (CRUSTACEA: AMPHIPODA): PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES CONCERNING THE FUNCTIONAL FEEDING GROUP CONCEPT (335 citations)
  • The mismeasure of animal contests (249 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Zoology, Hermit crab, Developmental psychology and Pagurus bernhardus. His study in Ecology concentrates on Amphipoda, Gammarus pulex, Crustacean, Predation and Gammarus. His study on Hermit crab is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Anomura.

His work carried out in the field of Developmental psychology brings together such families of science as Litter, Male mice and Physiology. His Pagurus bernhardus research includes themes of Agonistic behaviour and Communication. His Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Game theory and Body size.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (37.10%)
  • Zoology (22.62%)
  • Hermit crab (15.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (5.43%)
  • Social psychology (13.12%)
  • Personality (3.62%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Personality, Noxious stimulus and Reflex. His Social psychology study incorporates themes from Cognition and Body size. Robert W. Elwood has researched Personality in several fields, including Developmental psychology, Clinical psychology and Electric fish.

His Noxious stimulus investigation overlaps with Electric shock, Shock, Crustacean and Ecology. His Crustacean research is under the purview of Zoology. His Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Behavioural syndrome.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Defining and assessing animal pain (154 citations)
  • Pain and suffering in invertebrates (89 citations)
  • Understanding how animals fight with Lloyd Morgan's canon (82 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • IUCN Red List

Robert W. Elwood mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Cognition, Game theory and Noxious stimulus. His Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Agreeableness, Personality Assessment Inventory and Neuroticism. The Social psychology study combines topics in areas such as Hermit crab, Resource quality, Internet privacy and Body size.

His work on Perception expands to the thematically related Game theory. His Noxious stimulus research includes elements of Nociceptor and Nociceptive Reflex. His Clinical psychology research incorporates elements of Developmental psychology and Personality.
