Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Theropoda

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Cretaceous, Abelisauridae, Theropoda and Santa María Formation. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology and Coelurosauria. His study in Cretaceous is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gondwana and Tetrapod.

As part of his studies on Theropoda, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Patagonykus. His work carried out in the field of Santa María Formation brings together such families of science as Herrerasauridae, Silesauridae, Herrerasaurus, Sauropodomorpha and Eoraptor. His study looks at the relationship between Skull and fields such as Epipophyses, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • The origin and early evolution of dinosaurs (203 citations)
  • New information on the systematics and postcranial skeleton of Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis (Theropoda: Herrerasauridae) from the Ischigualasto Formation (Upper Triassic) of Argentina (196 citations)
  • Cretaceous terrestrial beds from the Neuquén Basin (Argentina) and their tetrapod assemblages (194 citations)

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

Fernando E. Novas focuses on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Anatomy, Theropoda and Taxon. His research related to Gondwana, Abelisauridae, Mesozoic, Postcrania and Cenomanian might be considered part of Paleontology. His research integrates issues of Clade and Genus in his study of Cretaceous.

His research in Anatomy intersects with topics in Epipophyses and Ornithomimosauria. His Theropoda research includes elements of Osteology, Coelurosauria, Megaraptora and Synapomorphy. His Taxon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zoology and Monophyly.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (61.72%)
  • Cretaceous (50.00%)
  • Anatomy (31.25%)

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

  • Cretaceous (50.00%)
  • Paleontology (61.72%)
  • Anatomy (31.25%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cretaceous, Paleontology, Anatomy, Theropoda and Taxon. Fernando E. Novas interconnects Zoology and Vegavis in the investigation of issues within Cretaceous. His Cenomanian study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Huincul Formation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His study focuses on the intersection of Anatomy and fields such as Zupaysaurus with connections in the field of Morphology. His Theropoda research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Paraves and Megaraptora. His Taxon study combines topics in areas such as Gondwana and Monophyly.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A reanalysis of Murusraptor barrosaensis Coria & Currie (2016) affords new evidence about the phylogenetical relationships of Megaraptora (12 citations)
  • A new genus of pipimorph frog (Anura) from the Early Cretaceous Crato Formation (Aptian) and the evolution of South American tongueless frogs (11 citations)
  • Enigmatic dinosaur precursors bridge the gap to the origin of Pterosauria (10 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Cretaceous

Fernando E. Novas spends much of his time researching Cretaceous, Paleontology, Taxon, Gondwana and Sister group. His work on Cenomanian, Abelisauridae and Aptian as part of his general Cretaceous study is frequently connected to Biological dispersal, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His studies in Paleontology integrate themes in fields like Calyptocephalellidae and Clade.

His research investigates the connection between Taxon and topics such as Anatomy that intersect with problems in Ornithomimosauria and Noasauridae. His Gondwana study incorporates themes from Osteology, Archaeology, Talenkauen and Ornithischia. Fernando E. Novas studied Theropoda and Coelurosauria that intersect with Synapomorphy and Skull.
