Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Ecology, Biodiversity, Species richness, Species diversity and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Selfing, Population genetics and Genetic diversity. Walter Durka combines subjects such as Ecology, Representativeness heuristic, Identification and Ecosystem model with his study of Biodiversity.

In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Species richness and Context. His Species diversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phylogenetic diversity and Ecological succession. In his work, Plant functional type and Vegetation is strongly intertwined with Biological dispersal, which is a subfield of Range.

His most cited work include:

  • TRY - a global database of plant traits (1611 citations)
  • Indicators for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes: a pan‐European study (481 citations)
  • The niche of higher plants: evidence for phylogenetic conservatism. (369 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Genetic diversity, Biodiversity, Botany and Species richness. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Genetic structure and Genetic variation. The various areas that he examines in his Genetic diversity study include Selfing, Population size, Population genetics and Inbreeding.

His research in Biodiversity focuses on subjects like Ecosystem, which are connected to Shrub. His research investigates the connection with Botany and areas like Microsatellite which intersect with concerns in Genetics and Evolutionary biology. His work often combines Species richness and Context studies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.47%)
  • Genetic diversity (27.65%)
  • Biodiversity (21.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.47%)
  • Biodiversity (21.76%)
  • Genetic diversity (27.65%)

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

Walter Durka mostly deals with Ecology, Biodiversity, Genetic diversity, Species richness and Pollen. He has researched Ecology in several fields, including Isolation by distance, Genetic structure and Reproductive success. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Representativeness heuristic, Ecology and Ecosystem, Ecosystem model.

His Genetic diversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zoology, Restoration ecology, Population genetics, Climate change and Outcrossing. His studies deal with areas such as Trophic level, Productivity, Herbivore and Species diversity as well as Species richness. In the subject of general Pollen, his work in Plant reproduction, Pollinator and Pollination is often linked to Base and Data descriptor, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • Impacts of species richness on productivity in a large-scale subtropical forest experiment. (141 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Walter Durka focuses on Biodiversity, Ecology, Land use, land-use change and forestry, Land use and Environmental resource management. His Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Functional ecology, Representativeness heuristic and Identification. Ecology is a component of his Species richness and Ecosystem studies.

His Land use, land-use change and forestry research includes elements of Climate change, Soil processes, Vegetation, Microevolution and Pollinator. The concepts of his Land use study are interwoven with issues in Taxon, Urbanization, Plant reproduction and Pollen. His work in Environmental resource management addresses subjects such as Abiotic component, which are connected to disciplines such as Restoration ecology and Local adaptation.
