Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Erik Verheyen spends much of his time researching Ecology, Cichlid, Lamprologini, Adaptive radiation and Phylogeography. Erik Verheyen has researched Ecology in several fields, including Allopatric speciation and Molecular phylogenetics. His Cichlid study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Eretmodini, Lineage and Monophyly.

His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial DNA. His Adaptive radiation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pleistocene, Tropheus and Incipient speciation. The concepts of his Phylogeography study are interwoven with issues in Biological dispersal and Genetic structure.

His most cited work include:

  • Origin of the superflock of cichlid fishes from Lake Victoria, East Africa. (338 citations)
  • Out of Tanganyika: Genesis, explosive speciation, key-innovations and phylogeography of the haplochromine cichlid fishes (290 citations)
  • Phylogeny of the Lake Tanganyika Cichlid Species Flock and Its Relationship to the Central and East African Haplochromine Cichlid Fish Faunas (231 citations)

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

Ecology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Cichlid and Phylogeography are his primary areas of study. In his study, Genetic diversity is inextricably linked to Genetic variation, which falls within the broad field of Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Monophyly and Phenotypic plasticity as well as Zoology.

His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetics, Species complex, Phylogenetic tree and Mitochondrial DNA. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Adaptive radiation, Lamprologini and Lineage. His research investigates the connection between Phylogeography and topics such as Genus that intersect with problems in Biogeography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.82%)
  • Zoology (35.05%)
  • Evolutionary biology (31.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.82%)
  • Evolutionary biology (31.31%)
  • Zoology (35.05%)

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

Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Phylogeography and Taxonomy are his primary areas of study. Ecology is often connected to Effects of high altitude on humans in his work. The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Infection dynamics and Clade, Phylogenetic tree.

His work on Murinae, Crocidura and Intraspecific competition as part of general Zoology research is often related to Crocidura grassei and Crocidura crenata, thus linking different fields of science. Erik Verheyen combines subjects such as Systematics, Lophuromys flavopunctatus, Genetic variation and Pleistocene with his study of Phylogeography. The various areas that Erik Verheyen examines in his Taxonomy study include Colonization, Reticulate evolution, Arvicanthis and Biogeography.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reconciling biodiversity and carbon stock conservation in an Afrotropical forest landscape (22 citations)
  • Reconciling biodiversity and carbon stock conservation in an Afrotropical forest landscape (22 citations)
  • The complete phylogeny of pangolins : scaling up resources for the molecular tracing of the most trafficked mammals on earth (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Phylogeography, Taxonomy, Rainforest and Biodiversity. He frequently studies issues relating to Phylogenetic tree and Ecology. His Phylogeography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Montane ecology, Genetic variation, Pleistocene and Praomys jacksoni.

His Taxonomy research incorporates themes from Reticulate evolution, Muridae, Arvicanthis and Biogeography. His work carried out in the field of Rainforest brings together such families of science as Tropical climate, Climate change mitigation, Global warming, Species richness and Decomposer. Erik Verheyen interconnects Shrew, Structural basin, Habitat, Forest ecology and Trophic level in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity.
