Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Douglas J. Emlen is best known for:

  • Insect
  • Sexual dimorphism
  • Sperm competition

Programming language connects with themes related to Trait and Construct (python library) in his study. His Programming language research extends to Construct (python library), which is thematically connected. He combines topics linked to Scale (ratio) and Mechanism (biology) with his work on Quantum mechanics. He combines Scale (ratio) and Scaling in his studies. His Mechanism (biology) study typically links adjacent topics like Quantum mechanics. Douglas J. Emlen performs multidisciplinary study in Ecology and Trade-off in his work. He performs integrative Zoology and Genus research in his work. In his work, Douglas J. Emlen performs multidisciplinary research in Genus and Scarabaeidae. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Scarabaeidae and Dung beetle through his research.

His most cited work include:

  • The Evolution of Animal Weapons (538 citations)
  • The Development and Evolution of Exaggerated Morphologies in Insects (418 citations)
  • A Mechanism of Extreme Growth and Reliable Signaling in Sexually Selected Ornaments and Weapons (370 citations)

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

Sexual dimorphism and Mating are fields of study that intersect with his Sexual selection research. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Mating and Sexual selection through his research. Douglas J. Emlen undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Ecology and Insect through his research. Douglas J. Emlen undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Insect and Ecology through his research. In his works, Douglas J. Emlen undertakes multidisciplinary study on Zoology and Allometry. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Allometry and Zoology in his research. He merges many fields, such as Evolutionary biology and Gene, in his writings. Douglas J. Emlen merges many fields, such as Gene and Phenotype, in his writings. He brings together Phenotype and Genetics to produce work in his papers.

Douglas J. Emlen most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (77.59%)
  • Zoology (67.24%)
  • Evolutionary biology (60.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2022)?

  • Ecology (71.43%)
  • Zoology (57.14%)
  • Rhinoceros (42.86%)

In recent works Douglas J. Emlen was focusing on the following fields of study:

His Aerospace engineering study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Wing and Range (aeronautics). His study ties his expertise on Aerospace engineering together with the subject of Range (aeronautics). His Paleontology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Context (archaeology) and Allometry. His Context (archaeology) study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Paleontology. Douglas J. Emlen performs integrative study on Ecology and Environmental resource management in his works. Douglas J. Emlen conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Environmental resource management and Ecology. In most of his Zoology studies, his work intersects topics such as Annelid. Annelid is closely attributed to Zoology in his work. In his works, Douglas J. Emlen performs multidisciplinary study on Evolutionary biology and Function (biology).

Between 2017 and 2022, his most popular works were:

  • On the evolution of extreme structures: static scaling and the function of sexually selected signals (44 citations)
  • Rhinoceros beetle horn development reveals deep parallels with dung beetles (31 citations)
  • Muscle mass drives cost in sexually selected arthropod weapons (26 citations)
