The review paper by Noriega et al. on the current state of knowledge on the ecosystem services provided by insects received the Most-cited paper Award 2021 of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (GfÖ).

This award acknowledges the review paper that published in Basic and Applied Ecology, the journal of the society, during the first three years after its publication (see https://www.gfoe.org/en/baae).

In this paper, published in 2018, we performed a bibliometric analysis on the information and measurement of ecosystem service provision by insects, and discussed the so obtained state-of-the-art among the coauthors. This manuscript was part of Jorge Noriega’s PhD Thesis (see https://jhortal.com/people/).

About The Author

Joaquín Hortal

I am a biogeographer with broad interests in macroecology, community ecology, island biogeography, insect ecology, evolution, and biodiversity research. My main research aim is to determine why biodiversity – and in particular community structure – is geographically distributed the way it is, and to identify the processes that domain the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecological assemblages. I work as Scientific Researcher at the Department of Biogeography and Global Change of the Natural History Museum in Madrid (MNCN), a research institute of the Spanish Scientific Council (CSIC). I am also External Professor at the Departamento de Ecologia of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) in Brazil, and Associate Researcher of the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (cE3c) of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon in Portugal.
