Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Primate

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Ecology, Phys anthropol, Lemur and Euarchonta. The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Plesiadapis, Primate and Strepsirrhini. Doug M. Boyer has researched Plesiadapis in several fields, including Shoshonius, Anatomy and Cantius.

His work on Ecology deals in particular with Omnivore and Prosimian. He studied Lemur and Frugivore that intersect with Guild, Paleoecology and Community. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolutionary biology, Carpolestidae, Plesiadapiformes, Arboreal locomotion and Postcrania.

His most cited work include:

  • Grasping Primate Origins (267 citations)
  • New Paleocene skeletons and the relationship of plesiadapiforms to crown-clade primates (203 citations)
  • Relief index of second mandibular molars is a correlate of diet among prosimian primates and other euarchontan mammals. (149 citations)

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

Doug M. Boyer mainly focuses on Primate, Anatomy, Zoology, Evolutionary biology and Ecology. His Primate study incorporates themes from Claw, Eosimias, Lineage and Arboreal locomotion. Doug M. Boyer works mostly in the field of Anatomy, limiting it down to concerns involving Euarchonta and, occasionally, Stapedial Artery and Skull.

His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plesiadapis, Postcrania and Deccanolestes. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Adaptation, Paleontology, Allometry and Lemur. In general Ecology study, his work on Predation, Climate change, Frugivore and Plesiadapidae often relates to the realm of Phys anthropol, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Primate (33.93%)
  • Anatomy (26.19%)
  • Zoology (29.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (19.05%)
  • Anatomy (26.19%)
  • Primate (33.93%)

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

Doug M. Boyer spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Anatomy, Primate, Lemur and Paleontology. His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Closest relatives, Allometry, Teilhardina, Archicebus and Systematics. The various areas that Doug M. Boyer examines in his Primate study include Zoology, Eosimias, Arboreal locomotion, Postcrania and Cladistics.

Zoology connects with themes related to Sister group in his study. Doug M. Boyer combines subjects such as Primate evolution, Endangered species, Mammal, Life history and Adaptation with his study of Lemur. His work investigates the relationship between Phylogenetic comparative methods and topics such as Ecology that intersect with problems in Euarchonta.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Open data and digital morphology (72 citations)
  • The evolutionary radiation of plesiadapiforms. (56 citations)
  • Fossil lemurs from Egypt and Kenya suggest an African origin for Madagascar’s aye-aye (53 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Primate
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Primate, Evolutionary biology, Anatomy, Zoology and Blood flow. Specifically, his work in Primate is concerned with the study of Lemur. His studies in Lemur integrate themes in fields like Mammal, Plesiopithecus, Cenozoic and Phylogeography.

The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Teilhardina, Archicebus, Paleontology, Arboreal locomotion and Evolutionary radiation. His work on Limb bone and Tendon as part of general Anatomy research is frequently linked to Lateral epicondyle and Displacement, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies deal with areas such as Molar and Sister group as well as Zoology.
