Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Naked mole-rat, Ecology, Zoology, Cryptomys and Endocrinology. As part of one scientific family, Chris G. Faulkes deals mainly with the area of Naked mole-rat, narrowing it down to issues related to the Genetics, and often Small mammal and Rodent. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Fukomys and Ecology.

His work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Body weight, Dominance and Inbreeding. Chris G. Faulkes works in the field of Cryptomys, focusing on Damaraland mole-rat in particular. Chris G. Faulkes has included themes like Internal medicine and Reproduction in his Endocrinology study.

His most cited work include:

  • African Mole-Rats: Ecology and Eusociality (347 citations)
  • A dispersive morph in the naked mole-rat. (240 citations)
  • Ecological constraints drive social evolution in the African mole-rats. (193 citations)

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

Chris G. Faulkes mostly deals with Zoology, Ecology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Mole. His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Naked mole-rat, Microsatellite, Burrow, Inbreeding and Cryptomys. The Cryptomys study combines topics in areas such as Cryptomys hottentotus and Bathyergus.

As part of his studies on Ecology, Chris G. Faulkes frequently links adjacent subjects like Evolutionary biology. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Reproductive suppression and Reproduction. The Estrous cycle, Hormone and Basal research Chris G. Faulkes does as part of his general Endocrinology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Insulin-like growth factor, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (34.51%)
  • Ecology (26.55%)
  • Internal medicine (22.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Mole (21.24%)
  • Naked mole-rat (20.35%)
  • Evolutionary biology (16.81%)

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

Chris G. Faulkes spends much of his time researching Mole, Naked mole-rat, Evolutionary biology, Epigenetics and DNA methylation. His studies deal with areas such as Reproductive suppression, Endocrinology, Physiology and Ageing as well as Mole. His work deals with themes such as Reproductive success, Cooperative breeding and Reproduction, which intersect with Endocrinology.

As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Naked mole-rat, focusing on Glycogen and, on occasion, Metabolism. His research investigates the connection with Evolutionary biology and areas like Phylogenetic tree which intersect with concerns in Evolution of mammals. His Ecology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Zoology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ageing-associated DNA methylation dynamics are a molecular readout of lifespan variation among mammalian species (28 citations)
  • Universal DNA methylation age across mammalian tissues (14 citations)
  • Limited evidence for parallel molecular adaptations associated with the subterranean niche in mammals : a comparative study of three superorders (10 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mechanism, Reproductive suppression, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Epigenetics. His Reproductive suppression study incorporates themes from Naked mole-rat, Sperm, Sperm motility and Ovary. His Internal medicine research integrates issues from Reproductive success, Cooperative breeding and Reproduction.

He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Endocrinology and Context through his research. His Epigenetics research includes themes of Evolutionary biology, Methylation, DNA methylation, CpG site and Longevity. His DNA methylation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Human genetics and Ageing.
