What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Biodiversity
William J. McShea focuses on Ecology, Predation, Understory, Habitat and Forest ecology.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Biological dispersal and Ecology.
His Predation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trophic level, Ecosystem, Vegetation and Carrying capacity.
His Understory research incorporates themes from Exclosure, Herbivore and Abundance.
His biological study deals with issues like Forest dynamics, which deal with fields such as Climate change, Intact forest landscape, Ecosystem services, Global change and Forest restoration.
He combines subjects such as Agroforestry and Species diversity with his study of Biodiversity.
His most cited work include:
- The science of overabundance : deer ecology and population management (334 citations)
- CTFS-ForestGEO: A worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (319 citations)
- THE INFLUENCE OF ACORN CROPS ON ANNUAL VARIATION IN RODENT AND BIRD POPULATIONS (234 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Habitat, Wildlife, Odocoileus and Range.
His work on Ecology deals in particular with Biodiversity, Deciduous, Forest ecology, Abundance and Species richness.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Wildlife conservation, Agroforestry and Forest dynamics.
His Habitat research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nature reserve and Occupancy.
His work deals with themes such as Mammal, Environmental resource management and Home range, which intersect with Wildlife.
He has researched Odocoileus in several fields, including Herbivore, Predation and Introduced species.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (64.97%)
- Habitat (19.29%)
- Wildlife (14.72%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Ecology (64.97%)
- Biodiversity (10.15%)
- Camera trap (8.12%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
William J. McShea mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Camera trap, Habitat and Species richness.
His study in Range, Mammal, Umbrella species, Carnivore and Introduced species is carried out as part of his studies in Ecology.
His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Agriculture, Deforestation, Species diversity and Ecosystem services.
His work carried out in the field of Camera trap brings together such families of science as Sampling bias, Data management, Survey data collection and Data science.
His Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Agroforestry, Landscape connectivity and Occupancy.
The various areas that William J. McShea examines in his Species richness study include Abundance, Forestry, Spatial heterogeneity and Physical geography.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Global importance of large‐diameter trees (138 citations)
- Plant diversity increases with the strength of negative density dependence at the global scale. (126 citations)
- Does hunting or hiking affect wildlife communities in protected areas (53 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Biodiversity
William J. McShea spends much of his time researching Ecology, Habitat, Occupancy, Species richness and Camera trap.
His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Citizen science.
His Habitat course of study focuses on Urbanization and Natural, Wilderness and Range.
His Occupancy research integrates issues from Sampling, Physical geography, Remote sensing and Community.
In his study, Alliaria petiolata and Plant community is strongly linked to Abundance, which falls under the umbrella field of Species richness.
His studies deal with areas such as Introduced species, Native plant and Herbivore as well as Odocoileus.
