Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Genetics, Ecology, Fire ant, Mitochondrial DNA and Wolbachia. His work on Gene, Sequence analysis and Expressed sequence tag as part of general Genetics research is often related to Sarcophaga crassipalpis and Flesh, thus linking different fields of science. In the subject of general Ecology, his work in Introduced species and Aculeata is often linked to Social organization, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

DeWayne Shoemaker performs multidisciplinary study on Fire ant and Poison control in his works. His research on Mitochondrial DNA also deals with topics like

  • Genetic variation that intertwine with fields like Evolutionary biology,
  • Genetic structure that connect with fields like Biological dispersal,
  • Gene flow which is related to area like Sympatric speciation. His Wolbachia study which covers Drosophila that intersects with DNA, Reciprocal cross and Mitochondrion.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta (295 citations)
  • Global Invasion History of the Fire Ant Solenopsis invicta (277 citations)
  • A Y-like social chromosome causes alternative colony organization in fire ants (250 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Fire ant, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Genetics and Introduced species. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Invasive species, Genetic structure, Genetic variation and Red imported fire ant. His research in Genetic structure focuses on subjects like Biological dispersal, which are connected to Nest.

The various areas that DeWayne Shoemaker examines in his Ecology study include Zoology and Population genetics. His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mitochondrial DNA, Introgression, Phylogenetics, Hybrid and Adaptation. His biological study deals with issues like Reproductive isolation, which deal with fields such as Solenopsis saevissima, Monophyly, Gene flow, Taxonomy and Sympatric speciation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fire ant (61.18%)
  • Ecology (54.12%)
  • Evolutionary biology (30.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Fire ant (61.18%)
  • Evolutionary biology (30.59%)
  • Zoology (18.82%)

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

DeWayne Shoemaker mainly investigates Fire ant, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Citizen science and Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Gene expression and ANT as well as Fire ant. DeWayne Shoemaker interconnects Chromosome, Phylogenetics, Gene, Adaptation and Haplotype in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.

The Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Phenotype, Balancing selection and Caste determination. In his research on the topic of Zoology, Range, Population bottleneck, Invasive species and Competition is strongly related with Introduced species. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic diversity, Monophyly and Reproductive isolation.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The role of citizen science in addressing grand challenges in food and agriculture research. (43 citations)
  • Evolution of a supergene that regulates a trans-species social polymorphism. (22 citations)
  • Global invasion history of the agricultural pest butterfly Pieris rapae revealed with genomics and citizen science. (17 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Citizen science, Plant science, Community participation, Agriculture and Grand Challenges. He has researched Citizen science in several fields, including Genomics, Pieris, Butterfly, Pieris rapae and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He performs integrative Plant science and Library science research in his work.
