Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

His main research concerns Ecology, Botany, Herbivore, DNA barcoding and Biological dispersal. His Ecology and Species richness, Habitat, Biodiversity, Parasitoid and Mutualism investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. In the field of Botany, his study on Synchronous flowering, Dipterocarpaceae and Plant physiology overlaps with subjects such as Mast and Blackwater.

The concepts of his Herbivore study are interwoven with issues in Ingestion, Plant foods, Defence mechanisms and Parasitism. His DNA barcoding study combines topics in areas such as Internal transcribed spacer, Lepidoptera genitalia, Species complex and Barcode. His work deals with themes such as Sexual reproduction, Tree species and Reproduction, which intersect with Biological dispersal.

His most cited work include:

  • Herbivores and the Number of Tree Species in Tropical Forests (3534 citations)
  • Ten species in one: DNA barcoding reveals cryptic species in the neotropical skipper butterfly Astraptes fulgerator (2420 citations)
  • Herbivores: Their Interaction With Secondary Plant Metabolites (1855 citations)

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

Daniel H. Janzen mainly focuses on Ecology, Botany, Lepidoptera genitalia, Zoology and DNA barcoding. Ecology is a component of his Hymenoptera, Genus, Biodiversity, Microgastrinae and Taxonomy studies. His is involved in several facets of Botany study, as is seen by his studies on Herbivore and Deciduous.

His Deciduous study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dry season, Predation and Evergreen. His study in Lepidoptera genitalia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Butterfly and Larva. His DNA barcoding research includes elements of Species complex and Barcode.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (42.86%)
  • Botany (21.30%)
  • Lepidoptera genitalia (15.79%)

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

  • Lepidoptera genitalia (15.79%)
  • Ecology (42.86%)
  • Genus (11.28%)

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

Daniel H. Janzen mainly investigates Lepidoptera genitalia, Ecology, Genus, Zoology and DNA barcoding. His Lepidoptera genitalia research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Butterfly and Larva. He merges Ecology with Cloud forest in his research.

His study on Genus also encompasses disciplines like

  • Tachinidae that connect with fields like Erebidae and Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests,
  • Braconidae, which have a strong connection to Oecophoridae, Male genitalia and Oecophorinae,
  • Key which connect with Botany,
  • Heteropteron most often made with reference to Hymenoptera. Daniel H. Janzen interconnects Range, Noctuidae and Fern in the investigation of issues within Zoology. The various areas that Daniel H. Janzen examines in his DNA barcoding study include Allopatric speciation, Computational biology, Species complex and Genomics.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Caterpillars lack a resident gut microbiome. (179 citations)
  • A Sequel to Sanger: amplicon sequencing that scales (99 citations)
  • Perspective: Where might be many tropical insects? (50 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Lepidoptera genitalia, Biodiversity, DNA barcoding and Evolutionary biology. His study in Scale and Butterfly is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. His Lepidoptera genitalia study contributes to a more complete understanding of Botany.

He combines subjects such as Species richness and Genomics with his study of Biodiversity. His DNA barcoding research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxonomy and Cytochrome C Oxidase I. His Taxonomic impediment study in the realm of Evolutionary biology connects with subjects such as Protocol.
