Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Genus

Alexandre Aleixo focuses on Ecology, Amazonian, Subspecies, Biodiversity and Phylogeography. His Biogeography, Habitat and Endemism study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Diversification, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Subspecies study combines topics in areas such as Taxon, Taxonomy and Molecular phylogenetics.

While the research belongs to areas of Biodiversity, Alexandre Aleixo spends his time largely on the problem of Checklist, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Atlantic forest and Systematics. Within one scientific family, Alexandre Aleixo focuses on topics pertaining to Species complex under Phylogeography, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Quaternary, Early Pleistocene, Paleontology and Period. His research investigates the connection between Zoology and topics such as Lepidocolaptes that intersect with problems in Woodcreeper.

His most cited work include:

  • The drivers of tropical speciation (320 citations)
  • A palaeobiogeographic model for biotic diversification within Amazonia over the past three million years (264 citations)
  • Lineage diversification and morphological evolution in a large-scale continental radiation: the neotropical ovenbirds and woodcreepers (aves: Furnariidae). (219 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Alexandre Aleixo mainly focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogeography and Woodcreeper. Amazon rainforest, Amazonian, Biodiversity, Endemism and Habitat are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. His Amazonian study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Reproductive isolation and Demographic history.

His studies deal with areas such as Coalescent theory, Phylogenetic tree, Molecular phylogenetics, Monophyly and Paraphyly as well as Evolutionary biology. His Phylogenetic tree research includes themes of Gene flow, Phylogenetics and Genus. His Phylogeography study which covers Biogeography that intersects with Biological dispersal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (39.90%)
  • Zoology (31.53%)
  • Evolutionary biology (36.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Zoology (31.53%)
  • Woodcreeper (18.23%)
  • Evolutionary biology (36.95%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Zoology, Woodcreeper, Evolutionary biology, Phylogeography and Ecology are his primary areas of study. When carried out as part of a general Zoology research project, his work on Feather and Plumage is frequently linked to work in Rufous motmot, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His research integrates issues of Molecular phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Monophyly, Paraphyly and Systematics in his study of Evolutionary biology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Taxon, Taxonomy, Pleistocene and Biogeography in addition to Phylogeography. His study involves Amazonian, Biodiversity, Climate change, Species diversity and Endemism, a branch of Ecology. His Amazonian research is included under the broader classification of Amazon rainforest.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Earth history and the passerine superradiation (77 citations)
  • A dynamic continental moisture gradient drove Amazonian bird diversification. (46 citations)
  • A dynamic continental moisture gradient drove Amazonian bird diversification. (46 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

His main research concerns Phylogeography, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Amazonian and Biogeography. Alexandre Aleixo works mostly in the field of Phylogeography, limiting it down to topics relating to Taxon and, in certain cases, Biome, Genetic structure and Environmental niche modelling. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Subspecies, Introgression and Paraphyly.

His study in Biodiversity, Species diversity and Endemism is done as part of Ecology. His Amazonian research entails a greater understanding of Amazon rainforest. His studies in Biogeography integrate themes in fields like Zoology, Sparrow, Arremon taciturnus and Biological dispersal.
