Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Habitat

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Trophic cascade, National park, Predation and Riparian zone. Biodiversity, Threatened species, Habitat, Habitat destruction and Range are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. His Trophic cascade research integrates issues from Salicaceae and Herbivore.

The concepts of his National park study are interwoven with issues in Plant species, River catchment, Cervus elaphus and Canis. The Riparian zone study which covers Beaver that intersects with Rocky Mountain elk, Optimal foraging theory and Introduced species. William J. Ripple interconnects Global warming, Plant community and Anthropocene in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Trophic Downgrading of Planet Earth (2277 citations)
  • Status and ecological effects of the world's largest carnivores. (1547 citations)
  • The Rise of the Mesopredator (515 citations)

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

William J. Ripple mainly investigates Ecology, Trophic cascade, Predation, National park and Ecosystem. His research related to Apex predator, Range, Biodiversity, Herbivore and Habitat might be considered part of Ecology. His Trophic cascade study is concerned with the larger field of Trophic level.

His Predation research incorporates elements of Endangered species, Competition and Gray wolf, Canis. His study in National park is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quaking Aspen, Bison bison, Ungulate and Salicaceae, Woody plant. William J. Ripple has researched Ecosystem in several fields, including Species richness and Food chain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (65.69%)
  • Trophic cascade (33.33%)
  • Predation (25.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (65.69%)
  • Ecosystem (16.18%)
  • Biodiversity (12.75%)

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

Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Predation and Extinction are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Ecology, William J. Ripple often connects relevant subjects like Megafauna. His Ecosystem study combines topics in areas such as Predator and Wildlife.

His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Agroforestry, Natural resource economics, Climate change and Environmental protection. His Predation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ungulate and Canis. His Trophic cascade research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rocky Mountain elk and Guild.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Scientists' Warning to Humanity: Microorganisms and Climate Change (263 citations)
  • Carnivore conservation needs evidence-based livestock protection. (121 citations)
  • Managing conflict between large carnivores and livestock (99 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Biodiversity
  • Ecosystem

William J. Ripple mainly focuses on Biodiversity, Ecology, Ecosystem, Extinction and Wildlife. His research integrates issues of Agroforestry, Land use, Habitat, Environmental protection and Natural resource economics in his study of Biodiversity. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Megafauna and Ecology.

William J. Ripple combines subjects such as Global warming, Climate change, Carnivore and Predator with his study of Ecosystem. The study incorporates disciplines such as Habitat destruction, Habitat fragmentation and Threatened species in addition to Extinction. His work deals with themes such as Endangered species, Ungulate, Herbivore, National park and Guild, which intersect with Predation.
