Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

Stephen P. Yanoviak mainly investigates Ecology, Litter, Abundance, Plant litter and Arboreal locomotion. In his works, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Sample. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Litter, focusing on Decomposer and, on occasion, Carbon cycle, Food web and Tropical rainforest.

His Abundance research incorporates elements of Habitat fragmentation, Biodiversity, Secondary succession and Common species. His Plant litter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomass, Species richness and Detritus. Much of his study explores Arboreal locomotion relationship to Descent.

His most cited work include:

  • Community structure and the habitat templet: ants in the tropical forest canopy and litter (183 citations)
  • Thermal adaptation generates a diversity of thermal limits in a rainforest ant community (153 citations)
  • Gliding and the Functional Origins of Flight: Biomechanical Novelty or Necessity? (126 citations)

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

Stephen P. Yanoviak mainly focuses on Ecology, Arboreal locomotion, Canopy, Abundance and Species richness. His study in Tree canopy, Liana, Habitat, Panama and Litter are all subfields of Ecology. His Arboreal locomotion study incorporates themes from Descent, Cursorial, Foraging and ANT.

His Canopy research includes themes of Microclimate, Tropical rainforest and Ectotherm. His research in Abundance tackles topics such as Plant litter which are related to areas like Detritus, Botany, Trophic level and Predation. His work in Species richness addresses issues such as Epiphyte, which are connected to fields such as Arthropod.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (113.68%)
  • Arboreal locomotion (48.72%)
  • Canopy (43.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Ecology (113.68%)
  • Lightning (23.93%)
  • ANT (20.51%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Lightning, ANT, Arboreal locomotion and Tropical forest. In his research, Stephen P. Yanoviak performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Sampling bias. His Lightning study also includes fields such as

  • Disturbance that intertwine with fields like Physical geography, Lightning strike, Temperate climate, Abundance and Crown,
  • Forest dynamics which intersects with area such as Climatology and Amazon rainforest.

His study in ANT is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology and Foraging. When carried out as part of a general Arboreal locomotion research project, his work on Cephalotes atratus is frequently linked to work in Insect flight, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His research in Cephalotes atratus focuses on subjects like Canopy, which are connected to Microclimate.

Between 2017 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Interpreting insect declines: seven challenges and a way forward (60 citations)
  • Interpreting insect declines: seven challenges and a way forward (60 citations)
  • Lightning is a major cause of large tree mortality in a lowland neotropical forest. (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Habitat

His main research concerns Ecology, Climate change, Lightning, Big data and Data science. His study in Ecology focuses on Critical thermal maximum, Fire ant, Liana, Community and Arboreal locomotion. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Acclimatization, Generalist and specialist species and Foraging.

His studies in Lightning integrate themes in fields like Physical geography and Panama. Representativeness heuristic, Shifting baseline, Citizen science, Sampling bias and Sample are fields of study that overlap with his Big data research.
