What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Genus
- IUCN Red List
His main research concerns Ecology, Stygofauna, Subterranean fauna, Biodiversity and Groundwater.
His research brings together the fields of Vicariance and Ecology.
The concepts of his Stygofauna study are interwoven with issues in Zoology, PhyloCode, Arid, Phylogeography and Biogeography.
His studies deal with areas such as Aridification, Biological dispersal, Dytiscidae and Sympatric speciation as well as Subterranean fauna.
In his work, Environmental planning, Habitat destruction and Threatened species is strongly intertwined with Troglofauna, which is a subfield of Biodiversity.
In the field of Groundwater, his study on Aquifer overlaps with subjects such as Context.
His most cited work include:
- Production and Respiration in Animal Populations (250 citations)
- Aquifers and hyporheic zones: Towards an ecological understanding of groundwater (250 citations)
- Evolution of subterranean diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Hydroporini, Bidessini) in the arid zone of Australia (209 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
William F. Humphreys mostly deals with Ecology, Stygofauna, Cave, Zoology and Groundwater.
Ecology is frequently linked to Aquifer in his study.
His study in Stygofauna is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phylogeography, Species richness, Species complex and Sympatric speciation.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range, Cape, Southern Hemisphere and Biogeography.
His Groundwater study also includes
- Volcano and Estuary most often made with reference to Karst,
- Arid which is related to area like Sea level.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Troglofauna, Endemism and Threatened species in addition to Biodiversity.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (118.03%)
- Stygofauna (44.81%)
- Cave (32.24%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Ecology (118.03%)
- Subterranean fauna (20.22%)
- Stygofauna (44.81%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
William F. Humphreys mainly focuses on Ecology, Subterranean fauna, Stygofauna, Ecosystem and Trophic level.
William F. Humphreys regularly ties together related areas like Groundwater in his Ecology studies.
His Groundwater research incorporates themes from Cave, Disturbance, Environmental DNA, Environmental impact assessment and Threatened species.
His work in Subterranean fauna tackles topics such as Endemism which are related to areas like Molecular phylogenetics, Taxon, Schizomida, Phylogenetic diversity and Paraphyly.
His Stygofauna study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecological niche and Archaeology.
His Trophic level study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Functional ecology and Biota.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- New light in the dark - a proposed multidisciplinary framework for studying functional ecology of groundwater fauna. (15 citations)
- New light in the dark - a proposed multidisciplinary framework for studying functional ecology of groundwater fauna. (15 citations)
- Big trouble for little fish: Identifying Australian freshwater fishes in imminent risk of extinction (7 citations)

His primary areas of investigation include Stygofauna, Ecology, Endemism, Aridification and Trophic level.
William F. Humphreys has included themes like Ecological niche and Archaeology in his Stygofauna study.
His research in Endemism intersects with topics in Taxon, Subterranean fauna, Molecular phylogenetics, Schizomida and Phylogenetic diversity.
His Aridification research incorporates elements of Biodiversity, Consumer, Isotope analysis, Biota and Paraphyly.
His Trophic level research includes themes of Molecular ecology, Functional ecology, Ecosystem and Groundwater recharge.
Specifically, his work in Ecosystem is concerned with the study of Ecosystem services.
