Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • IUCN Red List

Russell A. Mittermeier mostly deals with Ecology, Biodiversity, Biodiversity hotspot, Threatened species and Habitat destruction. The study incorporates disciplines such as Wilderness and Environmental resource management in addition to Biodiversity. His work carried out in the field of Biodiversity hotspot brings together such families of science as Wilderness area, Environmental protection, Measurement of biodiversity and Environmental planning.

His Threatened species research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Deforestation and Extinction. His Habitat destruction study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Natural resource economics. Russell A. Mittermeier has researched Red List Index in several fields, including Agroforestry, Conservation-dependent species, Regional Red List and Umbrella species.

His most cited work include:

  • Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities (18314 citations)
  • Global biodiversity conservation priorities. (1486 citations)
  • Habitat Loss and Extinction in the Hotspots of Biodiversity (1349 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Biodiversity, Endangered species and Threatened species. In most of his Ecology studies, his work intersects topics such as Extinction. As a part of the same scientific family, Russell A. Mittermeier mostly works in the field of Zoology, focusing on Sympatry and, on occasion, Tamarin.

His is doing research in Biodiversity hotspot and Measurement of biodiversity, both of which are found in Biodiversity. In Biodiversity hotspot, Russell A. Mittermeier works on issues like Wilderness area, which are connected to Environmental protection. His study explores the link between Endangered species and topics such as IUCN Red List that cross with problems in Near-threatened species, Conservation status, Taxon and Regional Red List.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (30.43%)
  • Zoology (26.09%)
  • Biodiversity (21.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Zoology (26.09%)
  • Threatened species (14.29%)
  • Endangered species (17.39%)

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

Zoology, Threatened species, Endangered species, Political science and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His Threatened species study incorporates themes from Habitat destruction, Natural resource economics and Extinction. His Habitat destruction research integrates issues from Critically endangered, Bushmeat, Subspecies and IUCN Red List.

His study focuses on the intersection of Natural resource economics and fields such as Climate change with connections in the field of Biodiversity. His Biodiversity study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Habitat. His Turtle, Ecosystem and Marine ecosystem study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Order Rodentia and Vertebrate.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impending extinction crisis of the world's primates: why primates matter (490 citations)
  • Phylogenetic relationships of the New World titi monkeys (Callicebus): first appraisal of taxonomy based on molecular evidence. (101 citations)
  • Global conservation status of turtles and tortoises (order Testudines) (63 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Biodiversity

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Threatened species, Clade, Habitat destruction and Bushmeat. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Callithrix, Callitrichidae and Sympatry. His studies deal with areas such as Critically endangered, Endangered species and IUCN Red List as well as Threatened species.

His research integrates issues of Taxonomy, Platyrrhini and Tamarin in his study of Clade. Habitat destruction is a subfield of Ecology that Russell A. Mittermeier studies. His Bushmeat research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Deforestation, Natural resource economics, Poaching and Ethnoprimatology.
