Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Predation

His primary areas of investigation include Predation, Ecology, Predator, Fecundity and Zoology. His Predation study incorporates themes from Biological pest control, Instar and Rhopalosiphum padi. His study involves Nutrient and Spider, a branch of Ecology.

His Nutrient research incorporates themes from Omnivore, Carnivore and Herbivore. The study incorporates disciplines such as Optimal foraging theory and Foraging in addition to Predator. His studies in Fecundity integrate themes in fields like Aphid, Larva, Botany and Generalist and specialist species.

His most cited work include:

  • Nutrient-Specific Foraging in Invertebrate Predators (351 citations)
  • Nutrient composition of the prey's diet affects growth and survivorship of a generalist predator. (159 citations)
  • Optimal foraging for specific nutrients in predatory beetles (138 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Predation, Zoology, Spider and Aphid. His Predation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Foraging, Nutrient and Biological pest control, Botany. He has researched Zoology in several fields, including Larva and Reproduction.

His work in the fields of Spider, such as Linyphiidae, overlaps with other areas such as Starvation. His Aphid research also works with subjects such as

  • Rhopalosiphum padi, which have a strong connection to Sitobion avenae,
  • Aphididae and related Polyphage. The various areas that Søren Toft examines in his Predator study include Optimal foraging theory and Arthropod.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (56.64%)
  • Predation (55.75%)
  • Zoology (39.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (56.64%)
  • Zoology (39.82%)
  • Predation (55.75%)

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

Søren Toft mostly deals with Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Biological pest control and Predator. His work on Nutritional ecology, Invasive species, Spider and Introduced species as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Geography, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His studies deal with areas such as Ecological niche and Endemism as well as Spider.

Søren Toft interconnects Reproduction, Foraging, Cold acclimation, Generalist and specialist species and Ectotherm in the investigation of issues within Predation. His Biological pest control research incorporates elements of PEST analysis, Acclimatization and Anthocoridae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Rhopalosiphum padi and Aphid, Horticulture.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cold acclimation reduces predation rate and reproduction but increases cold- and starvation tolerance in the predatory mite Gaeolaelaps aculeifer Canestrini. (13 citations)
  • Negative effects of low developmental temperatures on aphid predation by Orius majusculus (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) (11 citations)
  • Development, metabolism and nutrient composition of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens; Diptera: Stratiomyidae) in relation to temperature and diet (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Predation

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Instar, Predation, Animal science and Larva. Søren Toft frequently studies issues relating to Field conditions and Ecology. His research in Predation intersects with topics in Ecological niche, Dysderidae, Dysdera, Biological pest control and Acclimatization.

His research integrates issues of Beneficial acclimation hypothesis, Aphid and Anthocoridae in his study of Biological pest control. The Animal science study combines topics in areas such as Larval morphology, Stratiomyidae, High protein and Hermetia illucens. His work deals with themes such as Biomass, Nutrient and Animal feed, which intersect with Larva.
