Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Ecology

David Moreira mainly focuses on Ecology, Archaea, Phylogenetics, Evolutionary biology and Genetics. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Deep sea, Protist, Acidobacteria and Picoeukaryote. His Protist research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Green algae, Algae, Pyrenoid and Phylotype.

The Archaea study combines topics in areas such as Planctomycetes, 16S ribosomal RNA and Microbial metabolism. His research in Phylogenetics intersects with topics in Ribosomal RNA and 18S ribosomal RNA. His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Symbiosis, Syntrophy, Giant Virus and Phylogenetic tree.

His most cited work include:

  • Unexpected diversity of small eukaryotes in deep-sea Antarctic plankton. (736 citations)
  • The origin of red algae and the evolution of chloroplasts (364 citations)
  • The origin of red algae and the evolution of chloroplasts (364 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree and Genetics. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ribosomal RNA, Clade, Monophyly and Molecular phylogenetics. David Moreira has included themes like Deep sea, Protist and Archaea in his Ecology study.

His Archaea research focuses on Symbiosis and how it connects with Syntrophy. David Moreira has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Zoology and Botany. The concepts of his Botany study are interwoven with issues in Dinophyceae, Gymnodinium and Plastid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (31.08%)
  • Ecology (30.63%)
  • Phylogenetics (23.87%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (31.08%)
  • Ecology (30.63%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (22.97%)

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

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics and Protist. His studies deal with areas such as Genome, Gene, Monophyly and Molecular phylogenetics as well as Evolutionary biology. His work deals with themes such as Taxonomy, Botany and Tribonema, which intersect with Molecular phylogenetics.

David Moreira works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to concerns involving Microbial mat and, occasionally, Anoxygenic photosynthesis, Phototroph, Archaea, Zoology and Endosymbiosis. David Moreira interconnects Eukaryotic cell and Syntrophy in the investigation of issues within Archaea. His study in Protist is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Movile Cave and Toxic algae.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An Early-Branching Freshwater Cyanobacterium at the Origin of Plastids (130 citations)
  • A Phylogenomic Framework to Study the Diversity and Evolution of Stramenopiles (=Heterokonts) (73 citations)
  • Symbiosis in eukaryotic evolution. (72 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Ecology

David Moreira mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Microbial mat, Phylogenetics and Cyanobacteria. His research integrates issues of Context, Aphotic zone, Phylogenetic tree, Genome and Bathyal zone in his study of Evolutionary biology. As part of his studies on Ecology, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Metagenomics.

His Microbial mat study incorporates themes from Endosymbiosis, Microbial ecology, Lokiarchaeota, Archaea and Anoxygenic photosynthesis. His Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from 18S ribosomal RNA and Ochrophyta. His Cyanobacteria research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Botany, Extracellular, Biophysics, Biomineralization and Intracellular.
