Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Paleontology, Crinoid, Ecology, Paleozoic and Ordovician are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Paleontology study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Sea level and Species diversity. The Crinoid study combines topics in areas such as Articulata, Taxon, Carboniferous, Reef and Devonian.

Ecology is closely attributed to Extinction event in his work. His studies deal with areas such as Microevolution, Phanerozoic and Fauna as well as Paleozoic. His study in the field of Evolutionary fauna is also linked to topics like Suspension.

His most cited work include:

  • Tiering in suspension-feeding communities on soft substrata throughout the phanerozoic. (254 citations)
  • Phanerozoic development of tiering in soft substrata suspension-feeding communities (195 citations)
  • A model for niche differentiation in Lower Mississippian crinoid communities (106 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Crinoid, Ordovician, Fauna and Paleozoic. He regularly links together related areas like Genus in his Paleontology studies. His Crinoid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology, Tournaisian, Viséan, Carboniferous and Anatomy.

His research links Extinction event with Ecology. His work on Katian and Baltica as part of his general Ordovician study is frequently connected to Origination, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work on Paleozoic is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Phanerozoic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (82.13%)
  • Crinoid (49.28%)
  • Ordovician (23.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Paleontology (82.13%)
  • Crinoid (49.28%)
  • Ordovician (23.67%)

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

William I. Ausich mainly investigates Paleontology, Crinoid, Ordovician, Fauna and Taxon. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Genus. His Crinoid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Baltica, Tournaisian, Katian, Devonian and Cladida.

His work on Laurentia as part of general Ordovician study is frequently linked to Fusion, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Fauna research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Assemblage, Boreal, Systematics and Facies. His study in Taxon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Block, Nomenclature and Group.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phylogenetic taxonomy and classification of the Crinoidea (Echinodermata) (42 citations)
  • Early phylogeny of crinoids within the pelmatozoan clade (36 citations)
  • Filling the Gondwanan gap: paleobiogeographic implications of new crinoids from the Castillejo and Fombuena formations (Middle and Upper Ordovician, Iberian Chains, Spain) (13 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Paleontology, Crinoid, Ordovician, Taxon and Fauna. Much of his study explores Paleontology relationship to Genus. William I. Ausich focuses mostly in the field of Crinoid, narrowing it down to matters related to Katian and, in some cases, Paleoecology and Lagerstätte.

His work in Fauna tackles topics such as Facies which are related to areas like Viséan, Archaeocidaris and Taphonomy. William I. Ausich interconnects Glacial sediments and Provenance in the investigation of issues within Ecology. His Baltica research incorporates elements of Cylinder, Extinction event, Devonian and Holdfast.
