Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • World War II
  • Anthropology

William C. McGrew mainly focuses on Troglodytes, Anthropology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Cognitive psychology. William C. McGrew combines subjects such as Ethology, Animal ecology, National park and Predation with his study of Troglodytes. His work deals with themes such as Behavioral ecology and Pan paniscus, which intersect with Anthropology.

His study in Social organization extends to Ecology with its themes. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sociocultural evolution, Cultural variation and Dorylus. His study on Cognitive psychology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Laterality together with Lateralization of brain function and Pongidae,
  • Homo sapiens that connect with fields like Categorization, Primate and Old World monkey.

His most cited work include:

  • Cultures in chimpanzees (1668 citations)
  • Chimpanzee material culture : implications for human evolution (979 citations)
  • Great ape societies. (539 citations)

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

William C. McGrew mostly deals with Ecology, Troglodytes, Animal ecology, Anthropology and Zoology. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Foraging, Habitat, Predation, Dry season and Sympatric speciation. William C. McGrew interconnects Pan paniscus, Pongidae, National park, Feeding behavior and Dorylus in the investigation of issues within Troglodytes.

In Pongidae, he works on issues like Laterality, which are connected to Captivity. His Animal ecology research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Social psychology and Demography. A large part of his Anthropology studies is devoted to Primatology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (32.52%)
  • Troglodytes (27.64%)
  • Animal ecology (22.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Ecology (32.52%)
  • Animal ecology (22.76%)
  • Troglodytes (27.64%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Animal ecology, Troglodytes, Zoology and Anthropology. His research related to Foraging, Range, Sympatric speciation, Nest and Habitat might be considered part of Ecology. In his work, Taxon is strongly intertwined with National park, which is a subfield of Animal ecology.

His studies in Troglodytes integrate themes in fields like Feeding behavior, Ecology, Technological evolution and Predation. His work in Predation addresses subjects such as Hymenoptera, which are connected to disciplines such as Pongidae. His Anthropology research is mostly focused on the topic Primatology.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Is human handedness universal : ethological analyses from three traditional cultures (139 citations)
  • “An ape's view of the Oldowan” revisited (110 citations)
  • Living archaeology: artefacts of specific nest site fidelity in wild chimpanzees. (108 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • World War II
  • Genus

William C. McGrew spends much of his time researching Ecology, Troglodytes, Foraging, Nest and Animal ecology. His Ecology research includes themes of Zoology and Bipedalism. The various areas that William C. McGrew examines in his Troglodytes study include Feeding behavior, Ecology, Habitat and Predation.

His Foraging study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Osteology, Domestication, Non-human and Entomophagy. His work carried out in the field of Nest brings together such families of science as Archaeology and Arboreal locomotion. His Animal ecology study deals with Cultural variation intersecting with Intimidation and Courtship.
