What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Eusociality, Zoology, Genetic structure and Genetics.
His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Kin selection, Temperate climate and Reproduction in his study of Eusociality.
His research on Zoology focuses in particular on Hymenoptera.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Rhinotermitidae, Reticulitermes, Biological dispersal and Microsatellite in addition to Genetic structure.
The Rhinotermitidae study combines topics in areas such as Coptotermes and Population genetics.
His work carried out in the field of Genetics brings together such families of science as Inbreeding and Bedbugs.
His most cited work include:
- Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)
- Juvenile hormone in adult eusocial Hymenoptera: gonadotropin and behavioral pacemaker (237 citations)
- Molecular traces of alternative social organization in a termite genome (231 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Edward L. Vargo mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Reticulitermes, Rhinotermitidae and Hymenoptera.
His Ecology research is mostly focused on the topic Fire ant.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microsatellite, Pheromone and Genetic diversity.
While the research belongs to areas of Reticulitermes, Edward L. Vargo spends his time largely on the problem of Inbreeding, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Habitat.
His Hymenoptera research includes themes of Larva and Nest.
His study looks at the relationship between Population genetics and fields such as Evolutionary biology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (52.87%)
- Zoology (61.49%)
- Reticulitermes (24.71%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Zoology (61.49%)
- Genetic diversity (31.61%)
- Reticulitermes (24.71%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Genetic diversity, Reticulitermes, Range and Ecology.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inbreeding and Competition.
His Genetic diversity research incorporates elements of Population bottleneck and Founder effect.
His work deals with themes such as Insect, Microsatellite, Pathogen and Sex pheromone, which intersect with Reticulitermes.
His Range course of study focuses on Invasive species and Biological dispersal and Nest.
His work on Nasutitermes corniger and Eastern subterranean termite as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Actinobacteria, Microbial population biology and Microbial ecology, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Identification of a queen and king recognition pheromone in the subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes. (37 citations)
- A Genomic Imprinting Model of Termite Caste Determination: Not Genetic but Epigenetic Inheritance Influences Offspring Caste Fate (23 citations)
- Supercolonial structure of invasive populations of the tawny crazy ant Nylanderia fulva in the US (13 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His main research concerns Zoology, Genetic diversity, Evolutionary biology, Reticulitermes and Range.
His Zoology research includes elements of Bed bug, Pyrethroid and Introduced species.
The various areas that Edward L. Vargo examines in his Evolutionary biology study include Population bottleneck, Locus, Ploidy, Evolution of sexual reproduction and Phenotypic plasticity.
Chemical ecology, Pheromone and Hymenoptera is closely connected to Sex pheromone in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Reticulitermes.
Range is a primary field of his research addressed under Ecology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal and Propagule pressure.
