What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Ecology, Host, Microplitis croceipes, Foraging and Parasitoid are his primary areas of study.
His study in the field of Predation, Intraspecific competition and Adaptation also crosses realms of Associative learning.
W. J. Lewis interconnects Herbivore, Insect, Natural enemies and Botany in the investigation of issues within Host.
His research in Botany intersects with topics in Host seeking and Kairomone.
As part of his inquiry into Braconidae and Zoology, W. J. Lewis is doing Microplitis croceipes research.
His studies in Foraging integrate themes in fields like Mating and Phenotypic plasticity.
His most cited work include:
- Exploitation of herbivore-induced plant odors by host-seeking parasitic wasps. (1374 citations)
- Herbivore-infested plants selectively attract parasitoids (1056 citations)
- HOW CATERPILLAR-DAMAGED PLANTS PROTECT THEMSELVES BY ATTRACTING PARASITIC WASPS (641 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
W. J. Lewis spends much of his time researching Botany, Microplitis croceipes, Host, Parasitoid and Zoology.
In general Botany study, his work on Larva, Lepidoptera genitalia and Frass often relates to the realm of Parasite hosting, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
Microplitis croceipes is the subject of his research, which falls under Braconidae.
His Host study which covers Horticulture that intersects with Agronomy.
His Parasitoid research is classified as research in Ecology.
His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Insect, Feces and Arthropod.
He most often published in these fields:
- Botany (51.85%)
- Microplitis croceipes (40.74%)
- Host (37.96%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2013)?
- Microplitis croceipes (40.74%)
- Parasitoid (36.11%)
- Foraging (17.59%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
W. J. Lewis mainly investigates Microplitis croceipes, Parasitoid, Foraging, Host and Braconidae.
Foraging is a subfield of Ecology that W. J. Lewis investigates.
W. J. Lewis combines subjects such as Herbivore, Botany and Heliothis virescens with his study of Host.
His Herbivore research includes themes of Insect and Natural enemies.
His research in the fields of Frass overlaps with other disciplines such as Associative learning.
His Braconidae research is within the category of Hymenoptera.
Between 1995 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- Herbivore-infested plants selectively attract parasitoids (1056 citations)
- A total system approach to sustainable pest management (454 citations)
- Understanding and Manipulating Plant Attributes to Enhance Biological Control (279 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Host, Herbivore, Ecology, Parasitoid and Braconidae.
His research integrates issues of Insect, Natural enemies, Biological pest control and Predation in his study of Herbivore.
In general Ecology, his work in Honeydew and Foraging is often linked to Reproductive success, Sensory cue and Nectar linking many areas of study.
His Parasitoid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Inducible plant defenses against herbivory and Heliothis virescens.
Particularly relevant to Microplitis croceipes is his body of work in Braconidae.
His Microplitis croceipes research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Integrated pest management and Acephate.
