What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- IUCN Red List
Ross A. Alford mainly investigates Ecology, Amphibian, Chytridiomycosis, Pathogen and Zoology.
His work on Ecology deals in particular with Larva, Bufo marinus, Rainforest, Introduced species and Litoria nannotis.
The various areas that he examines in his Amphibian study include Population density, Population decline, Extinction, Predation and Microbiology.
His Chytridiomycosis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Litoria chloris, Emerging infectious disease, Outbreak and Endangered species.
His Pathogen research focuses on Host and how it relates to Population genetics, Disease and Gene.
In his study, Population biology and Animal ecology is inextricably linked to Toad, which falls within the broad field of Zoology.
His most cited work include:
- Global Amphibian Declines: A Problem in Applied Ecology (940 citations)
- Emerging infectious disease and the loss of biodiversity in a Neotropical amphibian community (924 citations)
- Pathogenesis of chytridiomycosis, a cause of catastrophic amphibian declines. (446 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Amphibian, Chytridiomycosis, Zoology and Larva.
Rainforest, Habitat, Predation, Introduced species and Interspecific competition are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study.
In the subject of general Amphibian, his work in Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is often linked to Litoria rheocola, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
Ross A. Alford has researched Chytridiomycosis in several fields, including Emerging infectious disease, Outbreak and Endangered species.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Litoria genimaculata and Reproduction.
His Larva study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bufo, Hatching and Competition.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (76.47%)
- Amphibian (35.83%)
- Chytridiomycosis (31.55%)
