What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Genus
- Ecology
- Epistemology
Gareth Nelson focuses on Biogeography, Vicariance, Systematics, Cladistics and Evolutionary biology.
His work carried out in the field of Biogeography brings together such families of science as Conceptual model and Panbiogeography.
His research integrates issues of Ecology, Paleontology and Sister group in his study of Vicariance.
The concepts of his Systematics study are interwoven with issues in Species problem, Taxonomic impediment and Humanities.
His Cladistics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Taxon, Genealogy, Darwinism and Taxonomy.
His research in the fields of Sociobiology overlaps with other disciplines such as Geography.
His most cited work include:
- Systematics and Biogeography: Cladistics and Vicariance (1056 citations)
- CENTERS OF ORIGIN AND RELATED CONCEPTS (342 citations)
- A Method of Analysis for Historical Biogeography (332 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Biogeography, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Vicariance and Cladistics.
His Biogeography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zoology, Molecular phylogenetics, Taxon, Systematics and Panbiogeography.
Systematics connects with themes related to Epistemology in his study.
His work on Endemism as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Biological dispersal, bridging the gap between disciplines.
He combines Vicariance and Geography in his research.
Gareth Nelson combines subjects such as Gondwana and Taxonomy with his study of Cladistics.
He most often published in these fields:
- Biogeography (26.47%)
- Evolutionary biology (19.85%)
- Ecology (16.91%)

- Geography (13.24%)
- Biogeography (26.47%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Geography, Biogeography, Vicariance and Paleontology.
His Biogeography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxon, Cladogram and Molecular phylogenetics.
He works mostly in the field of Vicariance, limiting it down to topics relating to Range and, in certain cases, Aridification, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Paleontology study incorporates themes from Systematics and Cladistics.
His studies deal with areas such as Empirical evidence, Mindset and Humanities as well as Systematics.
Gareth Nelson has researched Cladistics in several fields, including Evolutionary biology, Algorithm, Simple and Gondwana.
Between 2001 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Biogeography of the Australian monsoon tropics (225 citations)
- Australian biogeographical connections and the phylogeny of large genera in the plant family Myrtaceae (170 citations)
- Taxonomic Impediment or Impediment to Taxonomy? A Commentary on Systematics and the Cybertaxonomic-Automation Paradigm (130 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Genus
- Ecology
- Epistemology
Gareth Nelson mainly investigates Ecology, Endemism, Vicariance, Cladistics and Monsoon.
Stockwellia, Sister group and Melaleuca is closely connected to Paleontology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ecology.
His research in Endemism intersects with topics in Cladogram and Biogeography.
His work in Vicariance covers topics such as Corymbia which are related to areas like Arillastrum.
The Cladistics study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Archipelago, Polytomy, Molecular phylogenetics and Gondwana.
His research integrates issues of Arid, Range and Carpentaria in his study of Monsoon.
