Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Demography, Wildlife, National park and Host. His Predation, Spatial organization, Nature reserve, Biodiversity and Climate change investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transmission, Territoriality, Intraspecific competition and African elephant.

His research in Wildlife intersects with topics in Infectious disease, Empirical evidence, Culling and Empirical research. His National park research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Prevalence, Bovidae, Panthera and Association. The concepts of his Host study are interwoven with issues in Metapopulation and Basic reproduction number.

His most cited work include:

  • A movement ecology paradigm for unifying organismal movement research (1572 citations)
  • Superspreading and the effect of individual variation on disease emergence (1562 citations)
  • Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere (1155 citations)

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

Wayne M. Getz spends much of his time researching Ecology, Demography, Evolutionary biology, Ecology and Genetics. His studies in Herbivore, Foraging, Predation, National park and Vegetation are all subfields of Ecology research. His Herbivore study often links to related topics such as Ecosystem.

His study connects Wildlife and National park. His research on Evolutionary biology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Sympatric speciation. His study in Allele, Locus, Allele frequency, Genotype and Y chromosome is done as part of Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (63.59%)
  • Demography (14.18%)
  • Evolutionary biology (11.35%)

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

  • Ecology (63.59%)
  • Ecology (10.40%)
  • Bacillus anthracis (8.75%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Ecology, Bacillus anthracis, Foraging and Outbreak. His Ecology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Pandemic. His work deals with themes such as Wildlife, Territoriality and Scale, which intersect with Ecology.

His study on Bacillus anthracis also encompasses disciplines like

  • Grazing together with Ungulate,
  • Pathogen which intersects with area such as Virulence. His Foraging research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Gyps fulvus and Sympatric speciation. His Outbreak research incorporates themes from Vaccination and Environmental health.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate (97 citations)
  • Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate (97 citations)
  • An Ecological Assessment of the Pandemic Threat of Zika Virus. (72 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Bacillus anthracis, Foraging, Ecology and Plains zebra. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Zika virus, Pandemic and Set. The various areas that he examines in his Bacillus anthracis study include Pathogen, Endospore, Wildlife, Grazing and Virulence.

In his study, Sympatric speciation, Dyad, Demography and Social psychology is inextricably linked to Gyps fulvus, which falls within the broad field of Foraging. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Disease ecology, Anthrax bacillus, Transmission, Enzootic and Global health. Wayne M. Getz has included themes like Immune system and Immunity in his Plains zebra study.
