Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Her main research concerns Ecology, Bathymodiolus, Bivalvia, Mussel and Bacteria. Her studies deal with areas such as Zoology and Chemosynthesis as well as Ecology. In Bathymodiolus, Colleen M. Cavanaugh works on issues like Deep sea, which are connected to Abyssal zone, Benthic zone, Marine biology, Adipicola and Whale fall.

The Bivalvia study which covers Botany that intersects with Genomic organization, Genome and Vesicomyidae. Her study focuses on the intersection of Bacteria and fields such as Microbiology with connections in the field of Obligate anaerobe, Candidatus, Biochemistry and Proteobacteria. Within one scientific family, Colleen M. Cavanaugh focuses on topics pertaining to Symbiosis under Mytilidae, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Gammaproteobacteria.

Her most cited work include:

  • Bias in Template-to-Product Ratios in Multitemplate PCR (1217 citations)
  • Evidence for a core gut microbiota in the zebrafish (602 citations)
  • Prokaryotic Cells in the Hydrothermal Vent Tube Worm Riftia pachyptila Jones: Possible Chemoautotrophic Symbionts. (531 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Symbiosis, Phylogenetics, Bacteria and Botany. Her study on Bathymodiolus, Marine invertebrates and Solemya velum is often connected to Energy source as part of broader study in Ecology. Her study looks at the relationship between Solemya velum and topics such as Bathymodiolus thermophilus, which overlap with Lucinidae.

Her Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mytilidae, Bivalvia, Chemosynthesis, Host and Adaptation. Colleen M. Cavanaugh has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Coral reef, 16S ribosomal RNA and Phylogenetic tree. Her study in the fields of Archaea under the domain of Bacteria overlaps with other disciplines such as Toluene.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (42.20%)
  • Symbiosis (24.77%)
  • Phylogenetics (23.85%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (14.68%)
  • Phylogenetics (23.85%)
  • Host (13.76%)

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

Colleen M. Cavanaugh mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Host, Microbiome and Genome. Colleen M. Cavanaugh combines subjects such as Shotgun sequencing, Nonsynonymous substitution, Allele frequency, Gene and Biogeography with her study of Evolutionary biology. Her Phylogenetics research integrates issues from Coral reef, 16S ribosomal RNA, Microbiology and Phylogenetic tree.

Her work in Host tackles topics such as Symbiosis which are related to areas like Chemosynthesis. Her Microbiome research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Lactobacillus, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Her Symbiodinium research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Mixed transmission modes and dynamic genome evolution in an obligate animal|[ndash]|bacterial symbiosis (23 citations)
  • Intrahost Genetic Diversity of Bacterial Symbionts Exhibits Evidence of Mixed Infections and Recombinant Haplotypes. (21 citations)
  • Metagenomic investigation of vestimentiferan tubeworm endosymbionts from Mid-Cayman Rise reveals new insights into metabolism and diversity (19 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Her primary scientific interests are in Phylogenetics, Host, Genome evolution, Evolutionary biology and Genetic variation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zoology, Ecological niche, Firmicutes and Darwin's finches in addition to Phylogenetics. Her Host study contributes to a more complete understanding of Ecology.

Colleen M. Cavanaugh combines topics linked to Obligate with her work on Genome evolution. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gammaproteobacteria, Lamellibrachia, Phylotype and Trophosome in addition to Evolutionary biology. Her research integrates issues of Nucleotide diversity, Genome and Genetic diversity in her study of Genetic variation.
