Simcha Lev-Yadun

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Ecology
• Genus

His primary areas of study are Botany, Ecology, Herbivore, Aposematism and Domestication. His work in the fields of Cambium, Xylem, Inflorescence and Cell wall formation overlaps with other areas such as Biochemical engineering. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Biological evolution and Biological dispersal.

His Herbivore research also works with subjects such as

• Crypsis together with Insect, Camouflage and Mimicry,
• Frugivore, which have a strong connection to Plant physiology, Sexual reproduction and Attraction. His research integrates issues of Crop, Agriculture, Paleoethnobotany, Taxon and Archaeological record in his study of Domestication. His Agriculture research incorporates elements of Ethnology, Western culture and Crop yield, Agronomy.

His most cited work include:

• The Cradle of Agriculture (386 citations)
• Calmodulin binding to glutamate decarboxylase is required for regulation of glutamate and GABA metabolism and normal development in plants. (233 citations)
• Unravelling the evolution of autumn colours: an interdisciplinary approach (177 citations)

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

Simcha Lev-Yadun spends much of his time researching Botany, Herbivore, Ecology, Aposematism and Mimicry. Xylem, Cambium, Inflorescence, Bark and Phloem are the core of his Botany study. His Herbivore research incorporates themes from Camouflage, Plant species, Carrion, Predation and Insect.

His works in Habitat, Domestication, Agriculture, Taxon and Adaptation are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. His Middle East research extends to Domestication, which is thematically connected. To a larger extent, Simcha Lev-Yadun studies Zoology with the aim of understanding Mimicry.

He most often published in these fields:

• Botany (45.88%)
• Herbivore (23.66%)
• Ecology (23.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

• Botany (45.88%)
• Aposematism (20.79%)
• Herbivore (23.66%)

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

Botany, Aposematism, Herbivore, Mimicry and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His work on Spine expands to the thematically related Botany. His research investigates the connection between Herbivore and topics such as Insect that intersect with issues in Chemical defense and Morphology.

His study on Mimicry also encompasses disciplines like

• Camouflage and related Variegation,
• Arthropod which connect with Spider silk. Habitat and Domestication are among the areas of Ecology where Simcha Lev-Yadun concentrates his study. Simcha Lev-Yadun works mostly in the field of Temperate climate, limiting it down to topics relating to Woody plant and, in certain cases, Evergreen and Deciduous, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• The Plant Component of an Acheulian Diet at Gesher Benot Ya'aqov, Israel (52 citations)
• Intrusive growth of primary and secondary phloem fibres in hemp stem determines fibre-bundle formation and structure. (32 citations)
• Defensive (anti-herbivory) Coloration in Land Plants (29 citations)

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

• Botany
• Ecology
• Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Herbivore, Botany, Ecology, Aposematism and Mimicry. His research integrates issues of Phenotype, Mutualism, Caterpillar and Predation in his study of Herbivore. His studies link Host with Botany.

His Biological evolution research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology. His work deals with themes such as Camouflage and Crypsis, which intersect with Mimicry. Simcha Lev-Yadun combines subjects such as Taxon and Poaceae with his study of Habitat.
