In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alastair J. Wilson spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Genetic variation, Heritability, Trait and Selection.
Alastair J. Wilson has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Quantitative genetics, Phenotype, Natural selection, Soay sheep and Reproductive success.
His Quantitative genetics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Juvenile and Additive genetic effects.
Alastair J. Wilson does research in Genetic variation, focusing on Genetic correlation specifically.
As a part of the same scientific family, Alastair J. Wilson mostly works in the field of Heritability, focusing on Zoology and, on occasion, Asexual reproduction, Badger and Sea anemone.
His Selection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Adaptive potential, Evolutionary change, Affect and Social system.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

- Evolutionary genetics of personality in the Trinidadian guppy II: sexual dimorphism and genotype-by-sex interactions. (14 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Statistics
- Social science
His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Trait, Genetic variation, Heritability and Selection.
His studies deal with areas such as Guppy, Personality, Social system, Sperm and Epigenetics as well as Evolutionary biology.
His primary area of study in Genetic variation is in the field of Genetic correlation.
