Report summary

For University of California, Los Angeles Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in 2015-2017, the graph shows 34 visible PIs and 13 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Environmental Science as the leading field (29% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), and Animal Behavior and Reproduction as the leading topic (7% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Daniel T. Blumstein (18.2 weighted works; Animal Behavior and Reproduction, History of Science and Medicine). The clearest collaboration lines are Katelyn M. Gostic and James O. Lloyd‐Smith (3 shared works, weight 2.5); Van M. Savage and Pamela J. Yeh (4 shared works, weight 2.2). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 5.2, around Epidemiology, Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, led by Daniel T. Blumstein, James O. Lloyd‐Smith, Ren Sun; group 2 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 3.9, around Genetics, Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, led by Robert K. Wayne, Kenneth James Chapin, Kirk E. Lohmueller.
