Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Agriculture

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Pollination, Pollinator, Ecosystem services and Botany. His work in Ecology addresses issues such as PEST analysis, which are connected to fields such as Integrated pest management, Trapping and Cold tolerance. His work deals with themes such as Wildflower, Agronomy and Crop, which intersect with Pollination.

His Pollinator research includes elements of Apoidea, Species richness, Honey bee and Forage. His research integrates issues of Agriculture, Agroforestry and Habitat in his study of Ecosystem services. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Horticulture and Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Wild Pollinators Enhance Fruit Set of Crops Regardless of Honey Bee Abundance (1222 citations)
  • A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems (617 citations)
  • Stability of pollination services decreases with isolation from natural areas despite honey bee visits (536 citations)

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

Rufus Isaacs mainly focuses on Horticulture, Ecology, PEST analysis, Botany and Drosophila suzukii. His Pollination, Pollinator, Species richness, Abundance and Habitat investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. His Pollination research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Foraging and Wildflower.

His studies in Agroforestry integrate themes in fields like Agriculture, Crop yield and Ecosystem services. The study incorporates disciplines such as Apoidea, Biodiversity, Honey bee and Agronomy in addition to Pollinator. Rufus Isaacs studied PEST analysis and Integrated pest management that intersect with Pest control and Cultural control.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (38.49%)
  • Ecology (21.22%)
  • PEST analysis (20.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Drosophila suzukii (15.11%)
  • Drosophila (9.35%)
  • PEST analysis (20.86%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Drosophila suzukii, Drosophila, PEST analysis, Agroforestry and Integrated pest management. The PEST analysis study combines topics in areas such as Maggot, Lepidoptera genitalia and Sex pheromone. His Agroforestry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crop yield, Pollination and Ecosystem services.

He focuses mostly in the field of Pollination, narrowing it down to topics relating to Agriculture and, in certain cases, Biodiversity. Habitat, Plant species and Wildflower is closely connected to Pollinator in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ecosystem services. The Integrated pest management study which covers Cultural control that intersects with Larva and Mulch.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biological Control of Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)—Current and Pending Tactics (44 citations)
  • Narrow pollen diets are associated with declining Midwestern bumble bee species (30 citations)
  • The effectiveness of flower strips and hedgerows on pest control, pollination services and crop yield: a quantitative synthesis. (22 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Drosophila suzukii, Drosophila, Integrated pest management, PEST analysis and Ecology. The various areas that Rufus Isaacs examines in his Integrated pest management study include Pesticide, Spinosad, Toxicology and Crop. His study in Habitat, Abundance, Agriculture, Pollination and Ecosystem services is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology.

His research in Habitat focuses on subjects like Biodiversity, which are connected to Pollinator. His Agriculture research includes themes of Pest control and Flowering plant. Rufus Isaacs combines subjects such as Mulch, Vaccinium, Horticulture and Cultural control with his study of Pupa.
