Biography

I have produced a total of 253 articles published in international scientific journals with referee practice and 1 scientific monograph, and supervised 29 Ph.D. theses during 1993-2025 (58 articles during 1978-1992; see https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Erkki_Korpimaeki for more complete list of publications). Most of these papers have been published in high-quality international natural science, ecology and behavioural ecology journals, including Nature (4 papers in 1993-2025), Nature Climate Change (1), PNAS (1), Trends Ecol. Evol. (3), Biol. Reviews (2), Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B (13), Sci. Reports (4), J. Exp. Biol. (1), BioScience (2), Global Change Biol. (3), PLoS one (7), Ecol. Monogr. (2), Ecology (9), J. Anim. Ecol. (16), Oikos (36), Oecologia (22), Ecol. Letters (1), Ecography (5), Methods in Ecol. Evol. (1), Biol. Cons. (2), Forest Ecol. Mgmt. (3), Ecoscience (7), Funct. Ecol. (2), Evol. Ecol. (5), Evol. Ecol. Res. (1), Behav. Ecol. (3), Anim. Behav. (5) ja Behav. Ecol. Sociobiol. (9). These papers are also highly cited: a total of 143787 citations in Web of Sci. on Oct 2024 during 1984-2024 (h-index 68).
