Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Extinction

His main research concerns Mitochondrial DNA, Zoology, Domestication, Genetics and Canis. His Mitochondrial DNA study incorporates themes from Genetic marker, Microsatellite and Genetic exchange. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Sister group, PhyloCode, Clade and Conservation genetics.

His studies in Domestication integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology, Genetic diversity, Phylogenetic tree, Population bottleneck and Phylogenetics. His work in Genetics tackles topics such as Biological dispersal which are related to areas like Equidae, Sequence analysis, Boreal, Tundra and Ecotype. His study brings together the fields of Phylogeography and Canis.

His most cited work include:

  • Multiple and Ancient Origins of the Domestic Dog (827 citations)
  • Rescue of a Severely Bottlenecked Wolf (Canis Lupus) Population by a Single Immigrant (397 citations)
  • Widespread Origins of Domestic Horse Lineages (382 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Genetics and Domestication. His study explores the link between Ecology and topics such as Genetic diversity that cross with problems in Genetic variability. Carles Vilà has included themes like Phylogeography, Phylogenetics, Monophyly and Canis in his Zoology study.

His research on Evolutionary biology also deals with topics like

  • Population bottleneck together with Effective population size,
  • Phylogenetic tree together with Biogeography. His Domestication study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Jackal, Dingo, Gene, Mitochondrial DNA and Breed. In his research on the topic of Genetic variation, Nucleotide diversity and Endangered species is strongly related with Conservation genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (38.89%)
  • Zoology (36.11%)
  • Evolutionary biology (27.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (27.78%)
  • Ecology (38.89%)
  • Zoology (36.11%)

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

Carles Vilà mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Zoology, Genetics and Canis. The various areas that Carles Vilà examines in his Evolutionary biology study include Genetic drift, Genome, Phylogenetic tree and Population bottleneck. His work deals with themes such as Land bridge and Population size, which intersect with Ecology.

Specifically, his work in Zoology is concerned with the study of Mating system. The concepts of his Canis study are interwoven with issues in Pleistocene, Gray and Apex predator. Carles Vilà combines subjects such as Ovis, Recombination and Directional selection with his study of Domestication.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bottlenecks and selective sweeps during domestication have increased deleterious genetic variation in dogs (183 citations)
  • Worldwide patterns of genomic variation and admixture in gray wolves. (103 citations)
  • Survival and divergence in a small group: The extraordinary genomic history of the endangered Apennine brown bear stragglers. (82 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Extinction

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Canis, Domestication and Genetic variation. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Genotyping and Genetic monitoring. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Life history and Body size.

His Canis research includes themes of Zoology, Old World, Population decline and Apex predator. His Domestication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lineage, Natural selection and Genome, Genomics. Carles Vilà has included themes like Polymerase, DNA and Polymerase chain reaction in his Genetic variation study.
