Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Insect
  • Zoology

Her primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Ecology, Mating, Fecundity and Reproduction. Her Zoology research incorporates themes from Pieris, Lepidoptera genitalia and Butterfly. Her study in the fields of Heteroptera under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Paronychia.

Her research integrates issues of Coreidae, Paternal care and Parasitism in her study of Mating. Her research in Fecundity focuses on subjects like Antagonistic Coevolution, which are connected to Predation and Fertility. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Animal ecology and Nuptial gift.

Her most cited work include:

  • Polyandry and its effect on female reproduction in the green-veined white butterfly ( Pieris napi L.) (181 citations)
  • A theory of partial migration (143 citations)
  • Sexual selection for large male size in a polyandrous butterfly: the effect of body size on male versus female reproductive success in Pieris napi (110 citations)

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

Arja Kaitala mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Heteroptera, Mating and Predation. Her Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Fecundity. Her Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phyllomorpha laciniata and Butterfly.

She works mostly in the field of Heteroptera, limiting it down to topics relating to Paternal care and, in certain cases, Sex ratio. Mating and Pieris are commonly linked in her work. Her Predation research also works with subjects such as

  • Parasitism together with Intraspecific competition,
  • Larva and Herbivore most often made with reference to Parent bug.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (70.73%)
  • Zoology (57.32%)
  • Heteroptera (35.37%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Ecology (70.73%)
  • Lipoptena cervi (21.95%)
  • Host (21.95%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Lipoptena cervi, Host, Zoology and Lampyris noctiluca. Her work on Biological dispersal expands to the thematically related Ecology. Her Lipoptena cervi study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ivermectin, Pupa, Life history and Infestation.

Her Pupa research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phenotypic plasticity, Adaptive value and Diapause. Her work on Zoology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Fecundity. Her studies in Hippoboscidae integrate themes in fields like Abiotic component, Allopatric speciation and Roe deer, Capreolus.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • I'm sexy and I glow it: female ornamentation in a nocturnal capital breeder (23 citations)
  • Acute impacts of the deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) infestation on reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) behaviour (15 citations)
  • Unexpected seasonal variation in offspring size and performance in a viviparous ectoparasite. (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Insect
  • Predation

Arja Kaitala spends much of her time researching Lipoptena cervi, Zoology, Hippoboscidae, Diapause and Host. Her work deals with themes such as Rangifer tarandus tarandus and Life history, which intersect with Lipoptena cervi. Her study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nocturnal and Reproduction.

Her Hippoboscidae study incorporates themes from Pupa and Seasonality.
