What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Genus
- Paleontology
- Ecology
David R. Begun mostly deals with Hispanopithecus, Pierolapithecus, Dryopithecus, Zoology and Postcrania.
His Hispanopithecus research overlaps with Anatomy, Evolutionary biology and Primate.
His Evolutionary biology research focuses on subjects like Functional anatomy, which are linked to Arboreal locomotion.
His multidisciplinary approach integrates Pierolapithecus and Clade in his work.
David R. Begun has researched Zoology in several fields, including Gorilla, Knuckle-walking and Ethnology.
His work in Postcrania addresses subjects such as Morphology, which are connected to disciplines such as Comparative anatomy and Prehensile tail.
His most cited work include:
- Origin of human bipedalism: The knuckle-walking hypothesis revisited. (221 citations)
- Function, phylogeny, and fossils : miocene hominoid evolution and adaptations (201 citations)
- Miocene fossil hominids and the chimp-human clade. (134 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Evolutionary biology, Paleontology, Dryopithecus, Zoology and Hispanopithecus are his primary areas of study.
His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Molar, Bipedalism, Proconsul and Adaptation.
When carried out as part of a general Paleontology research project, his work on Taxon is frequently linked to work in Middle Miocene disruption, Vallesian and Locality, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His research in the fields of Anapithecus overlaps with other disciplines such as Postcrania, Ancestor and Phyletic gradualism.
His Zoology research integrates issues from Morphometric analysis and Functional anatomy.
His Hispanopithecus study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Pierolapithecus.
He most often published in these fields:
- Evolutionary biology (27.62%)
- Paleontology (23.81%)
- Dryopithecus (23.81%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Evolutionary biology (27.62%)
- Molar (4.76%)
- Fossil Record (5.71%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
David R. Begun focuses on Evolutionary biology, Molar, Fossil Record, Mandible and Paleontology.
David R. Begun interconnects Bipedalism and Ischium in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.
His Bipedalism research spans across into fields like Lumbar spine and Dryopithecus.
He has included themes like Geochemistry, Anterior teeth and Enamel paint in his Molar study.
The concepts of his Mandible study are interwoven with issues in Dental Wear, Skull, Endocast and Gorilla.
His work carried out in the field of Paleontology brings together such families of science as Fauna and Tribe.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A new late Miocene ailuropodine (Giant Panda) from Rudabánya (North-central Hungary) (30 citations)
- A new Miocene ape and locomotion in the ancestor of great apes and humans (25 citations)
- Potential hominin affinities of Graecopithecus from the Late Miocene of Europe (24 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Genus
- Ecology
David R. Begun mainly focuses on Evolutionary biology, Paleontology, Hominidae, Zoology and Fossil Record.
His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Ischium, Limb bones and Ancestor.
In the field of Paleontology, his study on Australopithecus and Nomen dubium overlaps with subjects such as Pulp canal and Ouranopithecus.
A majority of his Hominidae research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Graecopithecus, Permanent teeth, Lineage, Holotype and Most recent common ancestor.
Zoology is frequently linked to Ailuropodinae in his study.
His Fossil Record research incorporates themes from Molar, Mandibular first molar, Anterior teeth and Enamel paint.
