Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

Christer Erséus mainly focuses on Zoology, Clitellata, Monophyly, Ecology and Phylogenetic tree. Particularly relevant to Taxonomy is his body of work in Zoology. His Clitellata study combines topics in areas such as Clade, Naididae, Molecular phylogenetics, Taxon and Lumbriculidae.

In his research, Cladogram, Enchytraeus, Grania and Enchytraeidae is intimately related to Type species, which falls under the overarching field of Monophyly. His Ecology research includes themes of Evolutionary biology, Species complex and Phallodrilus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Host and Botany in addition to Phylogenetics.

His most cited work include:

  • The magnitude of global marine species diversity (540 citations)
  • The Function of Marine Critical Transition Zones and the Importance of Sediment Biodiversity (350 citations)
  • A molecular phylogeny of annelids (196 citations)

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

Christer Erséus spends much of his time researching Ecology, Zoology, Clitellata, Taxonomy and Enchytraeidae. His research integrates issues of Spermatheca and Phallodrilus in his study of Ecology. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Molecular phylogenetics and Monophyly.

His Monophyly study also includes fields such as

  • Paraphyly, which have a strong connection to Cladistics,
  • Branchiobdellida and related Lumbriculidae. His Clitellata research incorporates elements of Clade, Naididae, Taxon, Species complex and DNA barcoding. When carried out as part of a general Taxonomy research project, his work on Holotype is frequently linked to work in Southern china, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (50.65%)
  • Zoology (43.72%)
  • Clitellata (38.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Clitellata (38.96%)
  • Zoology (43.72%)
  • Evolutionary biology (10.39%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Clitellata, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Enchytraeidae and Species complex. His Clitellata research incorporates themes from Naididae, Taxon, Monophyly, Genus and DNA barcoding. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetics and Synapomorphy.

His study on Enchytraeidae is covered under Ecology. His study connects Ancient DNA and Ecology. His studies in Species complex integrate themes in fields like Speciation and Botany.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cryptic speciation and limited hybridization within Lumbricus earthworms (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) (26 citations)
  • Barcoding gap, but no support for cryptic speciation in the earthworm Aporrectodea longa (Clitellata: Lumbricidae) (23 citations)
  • Closely coupled evolutionary history of ecto- and endosymbionts from two distantly related animal phyla. (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Clitellata, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Monophyly and Coalescent theory. His Clitellata course of study focuses on DNA barcoding and Botany and Speciation. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Enchytraeidae and Naididae.

His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Symbiosis, Bacteria, Host, Obligate and Marine worm. Monophyly is a primary field of his research addressed under Phylogenetics. The concepts of his Phylogenetics study are interwoven with issues in Entomology, Ecology and Phylogenetic tree.
