What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Reproductive isolation, Ecology and Silene latifolia.
His Genetic algorithm study in the realm of Evolutionary biology interacts with subjects such as Phenomenon.
His work on Genetic architecture, Genetic variation, Human genetics and Long terminal repeat is typically connected to Retrotransposon as part of general Genetics study, connecting several disciplines of science.
His research integrates issues of Hybrid, Botany, Pollination, Gene flow and Genetic divergence in his study of Reproductive isolation.
His work on Ecology, Species richness and Beech as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Engineering ethics, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Silene, Silene dioica, Chromosome and Introgression.
His most cited work include:
- Genomics and the origin of species (616 citations)
- Orchid diversity: an evolutionary consequence of deception? (374 citations)
- The genetic architecture necessary for transgressive segregation is common in both natural and domesticated populations (224 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alex Widmer mainly investigates Genetics, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Botany and Silene latifolia.
Alex Widmer has researched Ecology in several fields, including Zoology, Genetic variation, Genetic diversity and Reproductive isolation.
His work investigates the relationship between Reproductive isolation and topics such as Ecological speciation that intersect with problems in Genetic architecture.
His Evolutionary biology research focuses on Genetic algorithm in particular.
His Botany research focuses on Chloroplast DNA and how it relates to Haplotype.
Alex Widmer has included themes like Silene, Silene dioica, X chromosome and Sexual dimorphism in his Silene latifolia study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (35.26%)
- Ecology (27.17%)
- Evolutionary biology (23.70%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Genetics (35.26%)
- Adaptation (9.25%)
- Evolutionary biology (23.70%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Genetics, Adaptation, Evolutionary biology, Ecology and Genetic diversity are his primary areas of study.
Genetics and Genomic imprinting are two areas of study in which Alex Widmer engages in interdisciplinary research.
His studies deal with areas such as Silene, Arabis alpina and Genetic divergence as well as Adaptation.
His Silene research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hybrid and Reproductive isolation.
His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Genus and Dioecy.
In the subject of general Ecology, his work in Phenology and Divergence is often linked to Abies alba and Glacial period, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Sequencing of the genus Arabidopsis identifies a complex history of nonbifurcating speciation and abundant trans-specific polymorphism (137 citations)
- Estimating genomic diversity and population differentiation – an empirical comparison of microsatellite and SNP variation in Arabidopsis halleri (111 citations)
- Trait differentiation and adaptation of plants along elevation gradients (41 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Alex Widmer mainly focuses on Genetics, Gene, Reproductive isolation, Genetic variation and Genetic diversity.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Population genetics and Genetics.
His research in Reproductive isolation intersects with topics in Genetic Speciation, Sister group, Plant genetics, Genus and Gene flow.
Alex Widmer focuses mostly in the field of Genetic variation, narrowing it down to topics relating to Mutation rate and, in certain cases, Evolutionary biology and Selection.
His work on Effective population size as part of general Genetic diversity study is frequently linked to Spirodela polyrhiza, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His research investigates the connection with Human population genetics and areas like Candidate gene which intersect with concerns in Ecology.
