Bas J. Zwaan mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Butterfly, Ecology, Genetics and Bicyclus anynana.
The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Genetic variation and Life history theory.
His Ecology study often links to related topics such as Zoology.
His research integrates issues of Melanogaster, Cline and Reproduction in his study of Zoology.
His studies in Bicyclus anynana integrate themes in fields like Hatchling and Phenotypic plasticity.
He has researched Longevity in several fields, including Heat shock protein, Drosophila melanogaster and Gene.
His most cited work include:
- DIRECT SELECTION ON LIFE-SPAN IN DROSOPHILA-MELANOGASTER (268 citations)
- Reduced insulin/IGF-1 signalling and human longevity (245 citations)
- Natural selection and developmental constraints in the evolution of allometries. (188 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Bas J. Zwaan spends much of his time researching Bicyclus anynana, Ecology, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Zoology.
Bicyclus anynana is the subject of his research, which falls under Butterfly.
His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Starvation and Developmental plasticity.
His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Genetic variation and Human evolutionary genetics.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fecundity, Lepidoptera genitalia, Larva and Reproductive success.
His study in Longevity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ageing, Life history theory and Reproduction.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Adaptation, Genetic variation and Genome.
Bas J. Zwaan combines subjects such as Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila, DNA, Minor allele frequency and Genetic gain with his study of Evolutionary biology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Candidate gene, Local adaptation and Reproduction in addition to Drosophila melanogaster.
His research in Reproduction intersects with topics in Organism and Longevity.
His study in Resistance extends to Genetics with its themes.
His research investigates the connection with Genetic variation and areas like Population genomics which intersect with concerns in Population biology.
