Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Ecology

Gareth J. Dyke mainly focuses on Paleontology, Zoology, Cretaceous, Clade and Taxon. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cladistics and Molecular clock. His studies deal with areas such as Pseudoextinction and Modern birds as well as Zoology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology, Anseriformes, Assemblage and Mesozoic in addition to Cretaceous. His Clade research incorporates elements of Systematics, Waterfowl and Carpometacarpus. His Taxon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pygostylia, Teviornis, Allometry, Ornithothoraces and Cope's rule.

His most cited work include:

  • Sustained miniaturization and anatomical innovation in the dinosaurian ancestors of birds (154 citations)
  • Sustained miniaturization and anatomical innovation in the dinosaurian ancestors of birds (154 citations)
  • Vertebrate assemblages from the early Late Cretaceous of southeastern Morocco: An overview (139 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Zoology, Cretaceous, Taxon and Ecology. His Paleontology research also works with subjects such as

  • Clade, which have a strong connection to Systematics,
  • Fauna that intertwine with fields like Structural basin. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary radiation and Range.

The various areas that Gareth J. Dyke examines in his Cretaceous study include Assemblage, Lineage and Mesozoic, Enantiornithes. His Taxon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Osteology, Evolutionary biology, Holotype, Pterodactyloidea and Autapomorphy. Gareth J. Dyke has researched Feather in several fields, including Bird flight and Wing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (57.29%)
  • Zoology (38.69%)
  • Cretaceous (39.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Cretaceous (39.20%)
  • Paleontology (57.29%)
  • Feather (18.09%)

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

Cretaceous, Paleontology, Feather, Zoology and Feather shaft are his primary areas of study. His research in Cretaceous intersects with topics in Taxon, Assemblage and Anatomy. His Taxon research includes elements of Osteology, Bird colony, Eggshell and Evolutionary biology.

Gareth J. Dyke is interested in Theropoda, which is a field of Paleontology. His Feather research focuses on Habitat and how it connects with Range, Dorsum, Plumage and Functional morphology. Gareth J. Dyke interconnects Adaptation, Riparia, Animal flight and Bird flight in the investigation of issues within Zoology.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The East Side Story – The Transylvanian latest Cretaceous continental vertebrate record and its implications for understanding Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary events (28 citations)
  • The East Side Story – The Transylvanian latest Cretaceous continental vertebrate record and its implications for understanding Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary events (28 citations)
  • Extracting water-related features using reflectance data and principal component analysis of Landsat images (24 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • Paleontology

His primary scientific interests are in Cretaceous, Paleontology, Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, Chronostratigraphy and Taxonomic composition. His Cretaceous study incorporates themes from Anatomy and Rostrum. His Paleontology study focuses on Taxon in particular.

His Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Assemblage and Fauna.
