Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Allan J. Baker mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Ecology, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics. He focuses mostly in the field of Evolutionary biology, narrowing it down to matters related to Phylogeography and, in some cases, Subspecies. Allan J. Baker interconnects Vicariance, Allele, Allele frequency, Monophyly and Biogeography in the investigation of issues within Zoology.

His study looks at the intersection of Ecology and topics like Bay with Fishery. His Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Charadriiformes, Genome and Species complex. His studies deal with areas such as Basal metabolic rate, Isolation by distance and Philomachus pugnax as well as Habitat.

His most cited work include:

  • The interplay between habitat availability and population differentiation (6139 citations)
  • Rapid population decline in red knots: fitness consequences of decreased refuelling rates and late arrival in Delaware Bay (349 citations)
  • Rapid population decline in red knots: fitness consequences of decreased refuelling rates and late arrival in Delaware Bay (349 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree and Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Clade, Monophyly and Population genetics. He combines subjects such as Glacial period, Bay and Pleistocene with his study of Ecology.

His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mitochondrial DNA, Coalescent theory, Cracidae, Palaeognathae and Phylogeography. The various areas that Allan J. Baker examines in his Phylogenetic tree study include Systematics and Phylogenetics. His work carried out in the field of Phylogenetics brings together such families of science as Charadriiformes and Genome.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (52.89%)
  • Ecology (47.11%)
  • Evolutionary biology (45.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Evolutionary biology (45.33%)
  • Ecology (47.11%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (31.11%)

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

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics and Coalescent theory. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Range, Natural selection, Palaeognathae and Mitochondrial DNA. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Genetic variation that intersect with issues in Biological dispersal.

His Phylogenetic tree study incorporates themes from Entomology and Subspecies. His work in the fields of Habitat, such as Arenaria interpres, overlaps with other areas such as Maximum likelihood. His research in Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tackles topics such as Zoology which are related to areas like Phylogeography.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The interplay between habitat availability and population differentiation (6139 citations)
  • Convergent regulatory evolution and loss of flight in paleognathous birds (87 citations)
  • Convergent regulatory evolution and loss of flight in paleognathous birds (87 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Allan J. Baker spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Palaeognathae, Ecology, Phylogenetics and Ratite. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Habitat, Phylogenetic tree, Mitochondrial DNA, Genomics and Paraphyly. Allan J. Baker has included themes like Tringa and Taxon in his Phylogenetic tree study.

His Palaeognathae research includes elements of Glacial period, Paleontology and Ice age. His Ecology research includes themes of Glacier and Pleistocene. His study with Phylogenetics involves better knowledge in Gene.
