What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Genus
- IUCN Red List
Christopher J. Raxworthy mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, IUCN Red List, Extinction and Habitat destruction.
Ecology is represented through his Ecological niche, Environmental niche modelling, Endangered species, Range and Archipelago research.
His Range research incorporates themes from Sampling, Sample size determination, Uroplatus and Principle of maximum entropy.
Christopher J. Raxworthy has researched Biodiversity in several fields, including Ecology and Endemism.
His IUCN Red List study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Conservation status and Threatened species.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Global warming, Cloud forest, Tropics and Amphibian in addition to Extinction.
His most cited work include:
- Predicting species distributions from small numbers of occurrence records: A test case using cryptic geckos in Madagascar (1879 citations)
- THE AMPHIBIAN TREE OF LIFE (1668 citations)
- The conservation status of the world's reptiles (490 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Zoology, Squamata, Evolutionary biology and Taxon.
His study in Rainforest, Biodiversity, Endemism, Genus and Fauna is carried out as part of his Ecology studies.
Christopher J. Raxworthy combines subjects such as IUCN Red List, Species richness, Ecology and Threatened species with his study of Biodiversity.
As part of the same scientific family, Christopher J. Raxworthy usually focuses on Zoology, concentrating on Paraphyly and intersecting with Biogeography.
In his research, Lineage is intimately related to Monophyly, which falls under the overarching field of Evolutionary biology.
His studies deal with areas such as Lamprophiidae and Archipelago as well as Taxon.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (65.93%)
- Zoology (36.26%)
- Squamata (17.58%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Evolutionary biology (14.29%)
- Zoology (36.26%)
- Ecology (65.93%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Christopher J. Raxworthy mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Ecology, Coalescent theory and Taxon.
The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Phylogenomics and Monophyly.
His Subspecies study in the realm of Zoology connects with subjects such as Pathogenic fungus.
The Subspecies study which covers Biological dispersal that intersects with Ecological niche.
His Ecology study focuses mostly on Habitat and Genus.
His study in Taxon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lamprophiidae, Sister group and Squamata.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Comparing species tree estimation with large anchored phylogenomic and small Sanger-sequenced molecular datasets: an empirical study on Malagasy pseudoxyrhophiine snakes (49 citations)
- Widespread presence of the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis in wild amphibian communities in Madagascar (43 citations)
- Interrogating Genomic-Scale Data for Squamata (Lizards, Snakes, and Amphisbaenians) Shows no Support for Key Traditional Morphological Relationships (37 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Genus
- IUCN Red List
Christopher J. Raxworthy spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Coalescent theory, Zoology, Phylogenomics and Monophyly.
His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Iguania, Squamata, Toxicofera, Gekkota and Scleroglossa.
Zoology and Molecular phylogenetics are frequently intertwined in his study.
His Phylogenomics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tree of life, Sister group and Batrachia.
In his study, Rhacophoridae, Raorchestes and Kurixalus is inextricably linked to Lineage, which falls within the broad field of Tree of life.
His Monophyly study incorporates themes from Hylarana, Systematics, Taxonomy, Paraphyly and Biogeography.
