Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Natural selection

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Pollinator, Reproductive isolation, Genetics and Evolutionary biology. In most of his Ecology studies, his work intersects topics such as Metapopulation. His work in Pollinator addresses issues such as Mimulus, which are connected to fields such as Cardinalis, Sympatry, Quantitative trait locus and Hummingbird.

His study in Reproductive isolation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic algorithm, Sympatric speciation, Adaptation and Tolmiea menziesii, Ploidy. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Effective selfing model, Inbreeding depression, Natural selection, Outcrossing and Selfing. His Selfing study which covers Mating system that intersects with Triploid block, Mutation rate, Polyploid complex, Paleopolyploidy and Polyploid.

His most cited work include:

  • PATHWAYS, MECHANISMS, AND RATES OF POLYPLOID FORMATION IN FLOWERING PLANTS (1373 citations)
  • THE EVOLUTION OF SELF-FERTILIZATION AND INBREEDING DEPRESSION IN PLANTS. I. GENETIC MODELS (1357 citations)
  • Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography (1093 citations)

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

Douglas W. Schemske mostly deals with Ecology, Botany, Pollinator, Genetics and Pollination. His Ecology research includes themes of Natural selection and Reproductive isolation. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ploidy and Horticulture.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mimulus, Cardinalis and Taxon. His work is dedicated to discovering how Genetics, Selfing are connected with Effective selfing model, Mating system, Evolutionary biology, Inbreeding and Heterosis and other disciplines. His study looks at the intersection of Evolutionary biology and topics like Inbreeding depression with Outbreeding depression.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (45.90%)
  • Botany (27.05%)
  • Pollinator (18.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Ecology (45.90%)
  • Genetics (18.85%)
  • Local adaptation (8.20%)

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

Douglas W. Schemske mainly focuses on Ecology, Genetics, Local adaptation, Adaptation and Genetic drift. His studies link Extinction with Ecology. Douglas W. Schemske regularly ties together related areas like Selfing in his Genetics studies.

His Local adaptation research incorporates themes from Ecotype, Cold acclimation and Understory. His work carried out in the field of Adaptation brings together such families of science as Gene flow and Habitat. His research integrates issues of Inbreeding depression and Heterosis in his study of Genetic drift.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on community assembly. (156 citations)
  • Factors influencing the effect size distribution of adaptive substitutions. (54 citations)
  • Adaptive divergence in flowering time among natural populations of Arabidopsis thaliana: Estimates of selection and QTL mapping (47 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Natural selection

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Adaptation, Local adaptation and Genetic drift. Throughout his Quantitative trait locus studies, Douglas W. Schemske incorporates elements of other sciences such as Photoinhibition and Trait. The concepts of his Adaptation study are interwoven with issues in Pleiotropy, Mutation, Allele, Genetic variation and Genetic architecture.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecotype, Cold acclimation, Gene–environment interaction, Inbred strain and Candidate gene in addition to Local adaptation. His work deals with themes such as Hybrid, Heterosis, Inbreeding depression, Outbreeding depression and Selfing, which intersect with Genetic drift.
