Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
IUCN Red List
Habitat

Tim Caro mostly deals with Ecology, Zoology, Predation, Umbrella species and Habitat. Ecology and Extinction are frequently intertwined in his study. Tim Caro has included themes like Gloger's rule and Countershading in his Zoology study.

His Predation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Competition and Interspecific competition. His work carried out in the field of Umbrella species brings together such families of science as Flagship species, Biodiversity and Species richness. His Habitat research integrates issues from Evolutionary biology and Woodland.

His most cited work include:

Antipredator Defenses in Birds and Mammals (898 citations)
Interspecific Killing among Mammalian Carnivores (728 citations)
On the Use of Surrogate Species in Conservation Biology (713 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Predation, Zoology, National park and Habitat. His study in Ecology focuses on Species richness, Ecosystem, Crypsis, Protected area and Biodiversity. His work in Species richness covers topics such as Umbrella species which are related to areas like Flagship species.

The concepts of his Biodiversity study are interwoven with issues in Conservation biology and Environmental resource management. Tim Caro interconnects Acinonyx jubatus, Animal ecology, Intraspecific competition and Demography in the investigation of issues within Predation. His study in National park is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transect and Wildlife.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (66.95%)
Predation (24.46%)
Zoology (18.03%)

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

Ecology (66.95%)
Predation (24.46%)
Zoology (18.03%)

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

Ecology, Predation, Zoology, Crypsis and Background matching are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Ecology, Tim Caro often connects relevant subjects like Mechanism. The Predation study combines topics in areas such as Plains zebra, Animal ecology and Intraspecific competition.

Tim Caro combines subjects such as White and Biting with his study of Zoology. Tim Caro studied Crypsis and Aposematism that intersect with Ecology. His Background matching study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Countershading.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The biology of color (235 citations)
Cheetahs and wild dogs show contrasting patterns of suppression by lions. (82 citations)
Physiology, Behavior, and Conservation (81 citations)

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

Ecology
IUCN Red List
Habitat

Tim Caro mostly deals with Ecology, Predation, Crypsis, Camouflage and Endangered species. His study ties his expertise on Evolutionary biology together with the subject of Ecology. His Predation research incorporates elements of Local extinction and Guild.

His work on Countershading as part of general Crypsis research is frequently linked to Variation, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in Camouflage is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary dynamics, Subspecies and Zebra. The study incorporates disciplines such as Local community, Ethnic group and Socioeconomics in addition to Endangered species.
