Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Cnidaria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Medusozoa, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics and Sister group. His Medusozoa study contributes to a more complete understanding of Hydrozoa. His studies deal with areas such as Species complex, Marine biology, Invertebrate, Species richness and Biogeography as well as Zoology.

His work in Evolutionary biology tackles topics such as Ecology which are related to areas like Inia. In his work, Scleractinia and Clade is strongly intertwined with Hexacorallia, which is a subfield of Phylogenetics. His Sister group study is concerned with the field of Phylogenetic tree as a whole.

His most cited work include:

  • The magnitude of global marine species diversity (540 citations)
  • Evaluating hypotheses of basal animal phylogeny using complete sequences of large and small subunit rRNA. (312 citations)
  • The phylum Cnidaria: A review of phylogenetic patterns and diversity 300 years after Linnaeus (301 citations)

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

Allen Gilbert Collins spends much of his time researching Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Cnidaria, Phylogenetic tree and Ecology. His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Polyphyly and Molecular phylogenetics. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Phylum, Anthozoa, Cnidocyte and Cladobranchia.

His Hydrozoa, Stauromedusae, Medusozoa and Scyphozoa investigations are all subjects of Cnidaria research. Allen Gilbert Collins frequently studies issues relating to Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree. His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxon and Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (33.58%)
  • Evolutionary biology (34.31%)
  • Cnidaria (31.39%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (34.31%)
  • Cnidaria (31.39%)
  • Hydrozoa (26.28%)

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

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Jellyfish and Medusozoa. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Sponge, Scyphozoa, Lineage and Molecular taxonomy. Hydrozoa is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecology.

His work in Jellyfish addresses subjects such as Cassiopea xamachana, which are connected to disciplines such as Most recent common ancestor and Clade. His Medusozoa study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Aplanulata and Phylogenetic tree. His work on Neofunctionalization is typically connected to Bayesian probability as part of general Phylogenetic tree study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Box, stalked, and upside-down? Draft genomes from diverse jellyfish (Cnidaria, Acraspeda) lineages: Alatina alata (Cubozoa), Calvadosia cruxmelitensis (Staurozoa), and Cassiopea xamachana (Scyphozoa) (14 citations)
  • Box, stalked, and upside-down? Draft genomes from diverse jellyfish (Cnidaria, Acraspeda) lineages: Alatina alata (Cubozoa), Calvadosia cruxmelitensis (Staurozoa), and Cassiopea xamachana (Scyphozoa) (14 citations)
  • Cassiosomes are stinging-cell structures in the mucus of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana (7 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • Cnidaria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hydrozoa, Cnidaria, Cassiopea xamachana, Jellyfish and Medusozoa. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydroid, Phylogeography, Biological dispersal and Upwelling. Cnidaria is a subfield of Ecology that Allen Gilbert Collins investigates.

His Cassiopea xamachana research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mucus, Order Rhizostomeae, Class Scyphozoa, Cnidocyte and Mesoglea. His study connects Zoology and Jellyfish. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Most recent common ancestor and Clade, which intersect with Medusozoa.
