What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Ecology, Caste determination, Genetics, Insect and Gene are her primary areas of study.
Her research brings together the fields of Symbiotic bacteria and Ecology.
Her Genetics and Genome and DNA methylation investigations all form part of her Genetics research activities.
Her study on Whole genome sequencing and Genomics is often connected to Expression as part of broader study in Genome.
She combines subjects such as Hormone and Gene expression with her study of Insect.
Her work on Pupa as part of her general Larva study is frequently connected to Growth equation, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
Her most cited work include:
- Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (1472 citations)
- Developmental and Physiological Determinants of Caste in Social Hymenoptera: Evolutionary Implications (455 citations)
- The Role of Nourishment in Oogenesis (424 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Larva, Hymenoptera and Botany.
Her Ecology research focuses on Evolutionary biology and how it connects with Phenotypic plasticity and Polyphenism.
Her study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Insect, Methoprene, Juvenile hormone and Reproduction.
Diana E. Wheeler has researched Larva in several fields, including Storage protein and Pheidole bicarinata.
Her Hymenoptera research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ultrastructure, Anatomy, Biodiversity, Predation and ANT.
Her Caste determination research includes elements of Genetics and Gene.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (49.41%)
- Zoology (35.29%)
- Larva (32.94%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2018)?
- Ecology (49.41%)
- Zoology (35.29%)
- Caste determination (17.65%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Diana E. Wheeler mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Caste determination, Insect and Evolutionary biology.
The study of Ecology is intertwined with the study of Genetic variation in a number of ways.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology, Hindgut, Midgut and Human fertilization in addition to Zoology.
The Caste determination study combines topics in areas such as Honey bee, Insulin and Gene.
Her research in Hymenoptera tackles topics such as Allometry which are related to areas like Pheidole.
As a member of one scientific family, Diana E. Wheeler mostly works in the field of Biological dispersal, focusing on Hormone and, on occasion, Genetics.
Between 2008 and 2018, her most popular works were:
- Ancestral developmental potential facilitates parallel evolution in ants. (136 citations)
- Highly similar microbial communities are shared among related and trophically similar ant species. (126 citations)
- Endocrine Influences on the Organization of Insect Societies (102 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Diana E. Wheeler mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Phenotypic plasticity, Polyphenism, Juvenile hormone and Zoology.
Her Polyphenism research integrates issues from Phenotype, Genome, Hymenoptera, Sociality and Morphology.
Sociality is a subfield of Ecology that Diana E. Wheeler studies.
As part of her studies on Ecology, Diana E. Wheeler often connects relevant areas like Vitellogenin.
Her studies deal with areas such as Eusociality and Caste determination as well as Juvenile hormone.
Her Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology, Insect, Microbial ecology and Microbiology.
