Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Cornell University Department of Animal Science is a 15-PI network with 9 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Agricultural and Biological Sciences as the leading field (43% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), Agronomy and Crop Science as the leading subfield (29% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Reproductive Physiology in Livestock as the leading topic (19% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Xin Gen Lei (13.8 weighted works; Selenium in Biological Systems, Algal biology and biofuel production). The clearest collaboration lines are M.E. Van Amburgh and Joyce L. Marumo (2 shared works, weight 2). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 5.5, around Agronomy and Crop Science, Ecology, Molecular Biology, led by J.O. Giordano, M.E. Van Amburgh, J.W. McFadden.
