Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

Shai Meiri mostly deals with Ecology, Lizard, Species richness, Range and Bergmann's rule. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Geographic variation. His Lizard study combines topics in areas such as Productivity, Morphometrics, Evolutionary ecology and Allometry.

He interconnects Biodiversity and Anolis in the investigation of issues within Species richness. His work in the fields of Biodiversity, such as Global biodiversity, intersects with other areas such as Monophyly. His Bergmann's rule research integrates issues from Spatial distribution, Ursus, Cline and Species distribution.

His most cited work include:

  • Global effects of land use on local terrestrial biodiversity (1401 citations)
  • On the validity of Bergmann's rule (551 citations)
  • The island rule: made to be broken? (192 citations)

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

Shai Meiri focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Lizard, Biogeography and Species richness. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Taxon, Range, Body size, Mainland and Bergmann's rule. His Taxon research includes elements of Type locality and Extinction.

He has included themes like Avian clutch size, Population density, Predation and Endemism in his Lizard study. Shai Meiri works mostly in the field of Biogeography, limiting it down to topics relating to Evolutionary biology and, in certain cases, Systematics. His research investigates the link between Species richness and topics such as Biodiversity that cross with problems in Conservation biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (89.81%)
  • Zoology (37.38%)
  • Lizard (24.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (89.81%)
  • Zoology (37.38%)
  • Gecko (11.17%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Zoology, Gecko, Avian clutch size and Life history theory. His work on Species richness, Taxon and Habitat is typically connected to Diversity as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science. The Species richness study combines topics in areas such as Biodiversity, Ecological niche, Competition, Niche differentiation and Skink.

His work on Lizard, Ectotherm and Squamata as part of general Zoology study is frequently linked to Gekkota, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research investigates the connection between Gecko and topics such as Predation that intersect with issues in Life history. His Avian clutch size study also includes

  • Eggshell, Oviparity and Amphibian most often made with reference to Fecundity,
  • Brood which is related to area like Macroecology.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reptile responses to anthropogenic habitat modification: A global meta-analysis (10 citations)
  • Reptile responses to anthropogenic habitat modification: A global meta-analysis (10 citations)
  • Areas of global importance for terrestrial biodiversity, carbon, and water (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

Ecology, Biogeography, Biodiversity, Agamidae and Diversity are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Life expectancy and Rate-of-living theory as well as Ecology. His study in Biogeography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Character displacement and Genus.

His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Species richness, Data deficient and Extinction. His Diversity investigation overlaps with other disciplines such as Ecology and Gecko.
