Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Gene
Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Larva, Tadpole, Metamorphosis and Predation. His research ties Zoology and Ecology together. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Rana and Brown trout.

He combines subjects such as Embryo and Life stage with his study of Rana. Larva connects with themes related to Predator in his study. His Metamorphosis study which covers Phenotypic plasticity that intersects with Desiccation and Evolutionary biology.

His most cited work include:

Latitudinal countergradient variation in the common frog (Rana temporaria) development rates--evidence for local adaptation. (251 citations)
Recent Asian origin of chytrid fungi causing global amphibian declines (187 citations)
Latitudinal divergence of common frog (Rana temporaria) life history traits by natural selection: evidence from a comparison of molecular and quantitative genetic data. (187 citations)

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

Anssi Laurila mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Larva, Predation and Amphibian. Ecology and Rana are commonly linked in his work. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Fungus, Salmo, Brown trout and Rana arvalis.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Animal ecology and Hatching in addition to Larva. As a part of the same scientific family, Anssi Laurila mostly works in the field of Predation, focusing on Tadpole and, on occasion, Bufo. His work carried out in the field of Adaptation brings together such families of science as Life history theory, Natural selection, Genetic variation and Ectotherm.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (74.19%)
Zoology (28.49%)
Larva (27.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Amphibian (20.43%)
Zoology (28.49%)
Ecology (74.19%)

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

His main research concerns Amphibian, Zoology, Ecology, Threatened species and Fungus. His studies in Amphibian integrate themes in fields like Divergence and Larva. His Larva research includes elements of Predator and Predation.

His Zoology research includes themes of Metamorphosis and Phenotypic plasticity. His research integrates issues of Starvation, Growing season and Phenology in his study of Metamorphosis. He combines subjects such as Cline and Genetic divergence with his study of Ecology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Recent Asian origin of chytrid fungi causing global amphibian declines (187 citations)
Gene Flow Limits Adaptation along Steep Environmental Gradients (13 citations)
Development and worldwide use of non-lethal, and minimal population-level impact, protocols for the isolation of amphibian chytrid fungi (12 citations)

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

Ecology
Gene
Genetics

Anssi Laurila mostly deals with Amphibian, Divergence, Ecology, Genetic variation and Evolutionary biology. His Amphibian research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zoology and Larva. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Aeshna, Dragonfly, Predator and Predation.

Larva is often connected to Phenotypic plasticity in his work. His study in the field of Genetic drift and Directional selection is also linked to topics like Variation. His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Major histocompatibility complex, Allele and MHC Class II Gene.
