What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His main research concerns Genetics, Population genetics, Ecology, Pacific oyster and Reproductive success.
Genetics is often connected to Genetic load in his work.
His research in Population genetics intersects with topics in Marine larval ecology, Larva, Adaptation, Biological dispersal and Gene flow.
His Pacific oyster research focuses on Genome and how it connects with Proteome.
In his study, Effective population size is strongly linked to Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, which falls under the umbrella field of Reproductive success.
His Oyster research also works with subjects such as
- Fishery most often made with reference to Genetic drift,
- Genomics that connect with fields like Evolutionary biology.
His most cited work include:
- The oyster genome reveals stress adaptation and complexity of shell formation (1370 citations)
- Population variation of human mtDNA control region sequences detected by enzymatic amplification and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (372 citations)
- Is gene flow from pelagic larval dispersal important in the adaptation and evolution of marine invertebrates (319 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Pacific oyster, Ecology, Genetics, Zoology and Crassostrea.
The subject of his Pacific oyster research is within the realm of Oyster.
His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biological dispersal, Population genetics and Reproductive success.
His studies in Population genetics integrate themes in fields like Genetic drift and Genetic diversity.
The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Genetic variation, Introgression and Genetic divergence.
The Crassostrea study combines topics in areas such as Hybrid, Heterosis, Inbred strain and Mitochondrial DNA.
He most often published in these fields:
- Pacific oyster (27.71%)
- Ecology (26.51%)
- Genetics (25.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Crassostrea (21.69%)
- Pacific oyster (27.71%)
- Zoology (22.89%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Dennis Hedgecock mainly investigates Crassostrea, Pacific oyster, Zoology, Fishery and Genomics.
His Crassostrea research incorporates themes from Genus and Mutation.
The concepts of his Pacific oyster study are interwoven with issues in Effective population size, Bay, Broodstock, Oyster farming and Genetic drift.
His research integrates issues of Ecology, Allele, Mutation rate, Genetic load and Genetic divergence in his study of Zoology.
His Genomics study deals with the bigger picture of Genetics.
His work on Genome as part of general Genetics research is often related to Selection, thus linking different fields of science.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Aquaculture genomics, genetics and breeding in the United States: current status, challenges, and priorities for future research (89 citations)
- Metabolic cost of calcification in bivalve larvae under experimental ocean acidification (40 citations)
- Genetic inviability is a major driver of type III survivorship in experimental families of a highly fecund marine bivalve (38 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Ocean acidification, Oceanography, Larva and Metabolic cost.
His research in the fields of Crassostrea overlaps with other disciplines such as Hatchery.
His Ocean acidification study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Calcification.
