Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Adaptation, Drosophila, Climate change and Biodiversity. Her work deals with themes such as Biological evolution and Genetic load, which intersect with Ecology. Her Adaptation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Linkage disequilibrium, Inbreeding depression, Population size and Genetic variation.

Carla M. Sgrò interconnects Larva and Reproduction in the investigation of issues within Drosophila. Her specific area of interest is Climate change, where she studies Adaptive capacity. Her Biodiversity research includes themes of Phylogenetics and Environmental resource management.

Her most cited work include:

  • Climate change and evolutionary adaptation (1799 citations)
  • Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments : a genetic perspective (502 citations)
  • Building evolutionary resilience for conserving biodiversity under climate change (475 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Drosophila melanogaster, Evolutionary biology, Adaptation and Genetics. Carla M. Sgrò has included themes like Multivariate statistics and Extinction in her Ecology study. The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Natural selection, Desiccation tolerance, Cline and Local adaptation.

Her Adaptation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gene flow, Genetic variation, Resistance and Inbreeding depression. Her Climate change research incorporates elements of Vulnerability assessment, Biodiversity and Ectotherm. In her work, Habitat fragmentation is strongly intertwined with Environmental resource management, which is a subfield of Biodiversity.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (38.39%)
  • Drosophila melanogaster (35.71%)
  • Evolutionary biology (33.04%)

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

  • Climate change (21.43%)
  • Ecology (38.39%)
  • Evolutionary biology (33.04%)

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

Climate change, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Adaptation and Trade-off are her primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vulnerability assessment, Tropics, Environmental resource management and Ectotherm in addition to Climate change. Her Phenotypic plasticity, Species distribution and Global warming study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Interactive effects, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her Species distribution course of study focuses on Threatened species and Biodiversity. Her study in Adaptation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Effects of global warming on oceans, Allele, Global change, Epigenetics and Adaptive capacity. Her Trade-off research incorporates themes from Drosophila melanogaster and Genetics, Reproduction.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Basal resistance enhances warming tolerance of alien over indigenous species across latitude. (37 citations)
  • Comparing thermal performance curves across traits: how consistent are they? (24 citations)
  • Artificial barriers prevent genetic recovery of small isolated populations of a low-mobility freshwater fish (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Carla M. Sgrò focuses on Climate change, Ecology, Adaptation, Trait and Phenotypic plasticity. Her Climate change research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vulnerability assessment, Genetic variation and Environmental resource management. Her Ecology research includes elements of Genetic structure and Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression.

Her Adaptation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Fecundity, Effects of global warming on oceans and Adaptive capacity. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Resistance, Seasonality, Climatic variables, Acclimatization and Climatic variability. Her research integrates issues of Indigenous, Desiccation, Desiccation tolerance and Trade-off in her study of Resistance.
