What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Biodiversity
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Woodland, Habitat, Habitat fragmentation and Biological dispersal.
His studies in Biodiversity and Abundance are all subfields of Ecology research.
His Biodiversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wildlife conservation and Species richness.
His work deals with themes such as Nocturnal, Fauna and Species diversity, which intersect with Abundance.
His study in Biological dispersal is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Speckled wood, Fragmentation and Butterfly.
His Landscape connectivity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Old-growth forest, Forest restoration, Forest ecology, Secondary forest and Guild.
His most cited work include:
- Optimizing the biodiversity gain from agri-environment schemes (111 citations)
- Body-size shifts in aquatic and terrestrial urban communities. (94 citations)
- The evolution of movements and behaviour at boundaries in different landscapes: a common arena experiment with butterflies (93 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Thomas Merckx spends much of his time researching Ecology, Habitat, Biodiversity, Woodland and Butterfly.
His research ties Biological dispersal and Ecology together.
His Habitat study deals with Spatial heterogeneity intersecting with Resource and Mountain range.
The Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Urbanization, Animal ecology, Spatial ecology and Generalist and specialist species.
He studied Woodland and Forest ecology that intersect with Old-growth forest and Secondary forest.
The various areas that he examines in his Butterfly study include Lepidoptera genitalia and Microclimate.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (119.44%)
- Habitat (56.94%)
- Biodiversity (45.83%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Ecology (119.44%)
- Habitat (56.94%)
- Boldness (19.44%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Thomas Merckx mostly deals with Ecology, Habitat, Boldness, Lepidoptera genitalia and Biodiversity.
Ecology is a component of his Urban ecology, Urbanization, Spatial ecology, Relative species abundance and Species richness studies.
His work carried out in the field of Urban ecology brings together such families of science as Nocturnal and Homogenization.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Abundance and Natural succession in addition to Species richness.
He works in the field of Habitat, focusing on Habitat fragmentation in particular.
The study of Biodiversity is intertwined with the study of Species diversity in a number of ways.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Urbanization drives cross-taxon declines in abundance and diversity at multiple spatial scales. (33 citations)
- Urbanization drives cross-taxon declines in abundance and diversity at multiple spatial scales. (33 citations)
- Urbanization‐driven homogenization is more pronounced and happens at wider spatial scales in nocturnal and mobile flying insects (20 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Biodiversity
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Urban ecology, Species richness, Nocturnal and Homogenization.
In his research, he performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Joint.
Joint is integrated with Statistical model, Species distribution, Movement, Ecology and Hierarchical database model in his study.
His Nocturnal study frequently links to other fields, such as Urbanization.
His research integrates issues of Spatial ecology, Abundance, Relative species abundance and Species diversity in his study of Beta diversity.
His Natural succession study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Habitat fragmentation, Habitat and Lepidoptera genitalia.
