Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Biodiversity

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Biodiversity, Biological dispersal, Species complex and Meiobenthos. His research on Ecology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Phylogenetics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Training and Environmental resource management in addition to Biodiversity.

The concepts of his Biological dispersal study are interwoven with issues in Zoology, Phylogeography and Obligate. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Species diversity and Biogeography. His Species complex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, DNA barcoding, Clade and Coalescent theory.

His most cited work include:

  • Independently evolving species in asexual bdelloid rotifers. (290 citations)
  • The widely used small subunit 18S rDNA molecule greatly underestimates true diversity in biodiversity surveys of the meiofauna (243 citations)
  • The widely used small subunit 18S rDNA molecule greatly underestimates true diversity in biodiversity surveys of the meiofauna (243 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Zoology, Biodiversity, Evolutionary biology and Habitat. Much of his study explores Ecology relationship to Biological dispersal. He focuses mostly in the field of Zoology, narrowing it down to matters related to Species complex and, in some cases, Coalescent theory, Brachionus, Taxonomy, Taxon and Rotifer.

His Biodiversity research includes elements of Taxonomic rank and Ecology. Diego Fontaneto has included themes like Phylogeography, Clade, Phylogenetic tree and Population genetics in his Evolutionary biology study. His Habitat research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Salinity and Ecosystem.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (65.73%)
  • Zoology (29.11%)
  • Biodiversity (22.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (65.73%)
  • Biodiversity (22.54%)
  • Meiobenthos (13.62%)

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

Diego Fontaneto mainly investigates Ecology, Biodiversity, Meiobenthos, Habitat and Evolutionary biology. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Sediment and Biological dispersal. His work deals with themes such as Archipelago, Nomenclature, Checklist, Genus and Species diversity, which intersect with Biodiversity.

His research in Habitat intersects with topics in Littoral zone and Benthic zone. His study on Evolutionary biology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Evolutionary dynamics which connect with Sexual reproduction and Genome,
  • Genetic diversity together with Phylogeography, Endemism, Population genetics and Phylogenetic tree. His Species richness study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Forest dieback, Rotifer, Rare species and Ecological succession.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Urbanization drives cross-taxon declines in abundance and diversity at multiple spatial scales. (33 citations)
  • Human access impacts biodiversity of microscopic animals in sandy beaches (11 citations)
  • Biodiversity analyses in freshwater meiofauna through DNA sequence data (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Habitat

Ecology, Meiobenthos, Biodiversity, Biological dispersal and Habitat are his primary areas of study. Diego Fontaneto merges many fields, such as Ecology and Literature survey, in his writings. The Meiobenthos study combines topics in areas such as National park, Granulometry and Biota.

His Biodiversity course of study focuses on Species diversity and Abundance, Relative species abundance, Urban ecology, Species richness and Spatial ecology. His studies in Biological dispersal integrate themes in fields like Community, Patch dynamics and Neutral theory of molecular evolution. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon, Littoral zone, Aquatic organisms and Zooplankton.
