Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

Botany, Linalool, Picea abies, Odor and Sex pheromone are his primary areas of study. His Botany and Myrcene, Colletes, Electroantennography, Malus and Codling moth investigations all form part of his Botany research activities. In general Linalool, his work in Ocimene is often linked to Anaspis linking many areas of study.

His Picea abies study combines topics in areas such as Monoterpene and Inoculation. His research integrates issues of Chromatography, Pinaceae and Chemical composition in his study of Monoterpene. His Odor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Mimicry and Orchis.

His most cited work include:

  • Biosynthesis, natural sources, dietary intake, pharmacokinetic properties, and biological activities of hydroxycinnamic acids (210 citations)
  • Chemical and ethological studies of pollination in the genus Ophrys (Orchidaceae). (149 citations)
  • Plant odor analysis of apple: antennal response of codling moth females to apple volatiles during phenological development. (146 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Weevil, Hylobius abietis, Picea abies and Sex pheromone. His Botany course of study focuses on Olfactory receptor and Heliothis virescens. Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson interconnects PEST analysis and Curculionidae in the investigation of issues within Weevil.

The concepts of his Hylobius abietis study are interwoven with issues in Methyl salicylate, Scots pine, Phloem, alpha-Pinene and Organic chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Inoculation, Monoterpene, Limonene and Bark as well as Picea abies. His research in Pheromone intersects with topics in Entomology, Lepidoptera genitalia and Odor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (81.71%)
  • Weevil (32.57%)
  • Hylobius abietis (25.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Botany (81.71%)
  • Weevil (32.57%)
  • Hylobius abietis (25.71%)

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

Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson focuses on Botany, Weevil, Hylobius abietis, Methyl jasmonate and Picea abies. Botany is intertwined with Trait and Population genetics in his study. His Weevil study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as PEST analysis and Curculionidae.

As a part of the same scientific study, Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson usually deals with the PEST analysis, concentrating on Fragaria and frequently concerns with Pheromone and Terpenoid. His Hylobius abietis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phloem and Scots pine. His Picea abies study incorporates themes from Ips typographus, Ecology, Invertebrate and Microbiology.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The gut microbiota of the pine weevil is similar across Europe and resembles that of other conifer-feeding beetles (39 citations)
  • Methyl Jasmonate-Induced Monoterpenes in Scots Pine and Norway Spruce Tissues Affect Pine Weevil Orientation (20 citations)
  • Methyl Jasmonate-Induced Monoterpenes in Scots Pine and Norway Spruce Tissues Affect Pine Weevil Orientation (20 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Methyl jasmonate, Weevil, Hylobius abietis, Botany and Picea abies. His Weevil research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology, Firmicutes, Bark beetle, Ecological niche and PEST analysis. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Host and Hylobius abietis.

His work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Cyperus rotundus. His study in Picea abies is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ips typographus and Microbiology. The Essential oil study combines topics in areas such as Sesquiterpene, Rhizome, Entomology and Anopheles gambiae.
