Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Insect
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Sex pheromone, Antennal lobe, Olfaction and Pheromone. Within one scientific family, Bill S. Hansson focuses on topics pertaining to Drosophila melanogaster under Botany, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Evolutionary biology and Odor. His Sex pheromone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lepidoptera genitalia, Noctuidae, Spodoptera littoralis, Olfactory response and Sensillum.

His Antennal lobe research integrates issues from Neuropil, Glomerulus and Anatomy. His Olfaction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Communication, Hermit crab, Anomura, Coenobitidae and Evolutionary radiation. His Pheromone study deals with the bigger picture of Ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Drosophila odorant receptors are both ligand-gated and cyclic-nucleotide-activated cation channels (655 citations)
  • A Conserved Dedicated Olfactory Circuit for Detecting Harmful Microbes in Drosophila (376 citations)
  • Evolution of insect olfaction. (376 citations)

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

Bill S. Hansson focuses on Pheromone, Olfaction, Sex pheromone, Botany and Olfactory system. His Olfaction study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Drosophila melanogaster and Odor. In his work, Cell biology is strongly intertwined with Olfactory receptor, which is a subfield of Sex pheromone.

His study connects Receptor and Botany. His research on Olfactory system concerns the broader Neuroscience. His study looks at the relationship between Antennal lobe and topics such as Anatomy, which overlap with Mushroom bodies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pheromone (31.08%)
  • Olfaction (28.60%)
  • Sex pheromone (28.60%)

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

  • Olfaction (28.60%)
  • Evolutionary biology (11.94%)
  • Olfactory system (20.50%)

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

Olfaction, Evolutionary biology, Olfactory system, Sensory system and Drosophila melanogaster are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology, Pheromone, Stimulus, Host and Drosophila. His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Courtship, Sex pheromone, Phylogenetic tree, Drosophila and Insect.

His Olfactory system research is included under the broader classification of Neuroscience. His Drosophila melanogaster research includes elements of Receptor, Sensory neuron, Calcium imaging and Cell biology. His studies deal with areas such as Habitat, Pollination and Botany as well as Odor.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Combinatorial Codes and Labeled Lines: How Insects Use Olfactory Cues to Find and Judge Food, Mates, and Oviposition Sites in Complex Environments. (50 citations)
  • Inverse resource allocation between vision and olfaction across the genus Drosophila (39 citations)
  • Olfactory receptor and circuit evolution promote host specialization. (34 citations)

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

  • Insect
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Bill S. Hansson mainly investigates Olfaction, Olfactory system, Drosophila, Insect and Zoology. He has included themes like Melanogaster, Host, Phylogenetics, Gene and Cognitive science in his Olfaction study. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Host, focusing on Datura wrightii and, on occasion, Antennal lobe.

His Olfactory system research is classified as research in Neuroscience. His Drosophila research incorporates themes from Sensory system and Chemical ecology. His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pollinator, Larva, Manduca sexta and Odor.
