Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Aphid, Hamiltonella defensa, Parasitoid, Ecology and Genetics. His Aphid research includes themes of Zoology and Host. His Host research focuses on Black bean aphid and how it connects with Longevity.

His Genetic variation research extends to the thematically linked field of Hamiltonella defensa. In Parasitoid, Christoph Vorburger works on issues like Aphis, which are connected to Parasitism. His study in the field of Facultative, Austropotamobius torrentium and Interspecific competition is also linked to topics like Agonistic behaviour and Crayfish plague.

His most cited work include:

  • A strain of the bacterial symbiont Regiella insecticola protects aphids against parasitoids. (173 citations)
  • Environmentally related patterns of reproductive modes in the aphid Myzus persicae and the predominance of two ‘superclones’ in Victoria, Australia (143 citations)
  • Only helpful when required: a longevity cost of harbouring defensive symbionts. (129 citations)

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

Christoph Vorburger mainly focuses on Aphid, Parasitoid, Ecology, Hamiltonella defensa and Aphis. His research integrates issues of Zoology, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Genetic variation and Evolutionary biology in his study of Aphid. He regularly links together related areas like Parasitism in his Parasitoid studies.

When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Habitat, Local adaptation and Resistance is frequently linked to work in European chub, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Hamiltonella defensa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Facultative, Horizontal transmission, Coevolution, Infectivity and Experimental evolution. Christoph Vorburger focuses mostly in the field of Aphis, narrowing it down to matters related to Black bean aphid and, in some cases, Sexual reproduction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aphid (91.10%)
  • Parasitoid (78.77%)
  • Ecology (64.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Parasitoid (78.77%)
  • Aphid (91.10%)
  • Parasitoid wasp (25.34%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Parasitoid, Aphid, Parasitoid wasp, Hamiltonella defensa and Evolutionary biology. He's looking at Parasitoid as part of his Genetics, Host and Biological pest control and Parasitoid study. His Host study is concerned with the field of Ecology as a whole.

His Aphid study incorporates themes from Acyrthosiphon pisum and Genome, Genome size. His Hamiltonella defensa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Black bean aphid and Aphis. As part of the same scientific family, Christoph Vorburger usually focuses on Aphis, concentrating on Experimental evolution and intersecting with Quantitative trait locus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nonrandom associations of maternally transmitted symbionts in insects: The roles of drift versus biased cotransmission and selection. (13 citations)
  • Nonrandom associations of maternally transmitted symbionts in insects: The roles of drift versus biased cotransmission and selection. (13 citations)
  • Evolutionary costs and benefits of infection with diverse strains of Spiroplasma in pea aphids (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphid, Evolutionary biology, Parasitoid and Drosophila neotestacea. The Acyrthosiphon pisum study combines topics in areas such as Black bean aphid, Microbiology and Hamiltonella defensa. His studies deal with areas such as Hemiptera and Genome size as well as Aphid.

His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genome, Genomics, Braconidae, Aphidiinae and Parasitoid wasp. His Parasitoid study is within the categories of Host and Genetics. His study in Drosophila neotestacea intersects with areas of studies such as Field survey, Wolbachia, Approximate Bayesian computation, Null hypothesis and Field data.
