1999 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Statistics

Ecology, Landscape ecology, Biological dispersal, Resistance and Habitat are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene flow, Population genetics, Ursus and Environmental resource management. His study in the field of Landscape epidemiology is also linked to topics like Genetic variability.

His study in the field of Landscape connectivity also crosses realms of Boundary detection. His research integrates issues of Habitat fragmentation, American black bear, Ecotope and American pika in his study of Resistance. His Habitat study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Microclimate, Metapopulation, Pika and Urban sprawl.

His most cited work include:

  • Issues and Perspectives in Landscape Ecology: The gradient concept of landscape structure (197 citations)
  • A resistant-kernel model of connectivity for amphibians that breed in vernal pools. (191 citations)
  • Identifying future research needs in landscape genetics: Where to from here? (182 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Habitat, Landscape ecology, Biological dispersal and Resistance. His research ties Landscape connectivity and Ecology together. His Habitat research includes themes of Carnivore and Wildlife.

His work deals with themes such as Spatial ecology, Ecology and Environmental resource management, which intersect with Landscape ecology. The Biological dispersal study which covers Gene flow that intersects with Population genetics. Samuel A. Cushman works mostly in the field of Landscape epidemiology, limiting it down to concerns involving Genetics and, occasionally, Isolation by distance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (60.43%)
  • Habitat (27.27%)
  • Landscape ecology (25.13%)

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

  • Ecology (60.43%)
  • Landscape ecology (25.13%)
  • Biodiversity (9.63%)

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

Samuel A. Cushman focuses on Ecology, Landscape ecology, Biodiversity, Habitat and Biological dispersal. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Effective population size and Fixation index. Samuel A. Cushman has researched Landscape ecology in several fields, including Ecology, Environmental resource management, Landscape dynamics and Landscape connectivity.

His research in Biodiversity focuses on subjects like Fragmentation, which are connected to Foraging, Vineyard and Abundance. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetics and Isolation by distance in addition to Habitat. His Biological dispersal research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Invertebrate, Gene flow and Resistance.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Landscape connectivity modeling from the perspective of animal dispersal (12 citations)
  • Recent and projected future wildfire trends across the ranges of three spotted owl subspecies under climate change (10 citations)
  • Multi-scale niche modeling of three sympatric felids of conservation importance in central Iran (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Habitat

His main research concerns Habitat, Landscape ecology, Ecology, Biological dispersal and Habitat destruction. His research integrates issues of Spatial ecology, Carnivore and Landscape connectivity in his study of Habitat. His work in Landscape ecology tackles topics such as Environmental resource management which are related to areas like Geospatial analysis, Selection and Resistance.

His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Tiger and Spatial variability. His Biological dispersal research includes elements of Abundance, Vineyard, Invertebrate, Scale and Fragmentation. His Habitat destruction study combines topics in areas such as Range, Taxon, Global biodiversity, Northern spotted owl and Guild.
