Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Genus

George Amato focuses on Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Endangered species and Genetics. His research integrates issues of Molecular phylogenetics, Species complex, Phylogenetic tree and Biogeography in his study of Zoology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Comparative genomics, Gene sequence, Whole genome sequencing, Mitochondrial DNA and Phylogenetics in addition to Evolutionary biology.

His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Fishery and Conservation genetics. His work on Critically endangered as part of general Endangered species study is frequently linked to Southern bluefin tuna, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work investigates the relationship between Genetics and topics such as Amazona guildingii that intersect with problems in Genetic variation.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome 10K: A Proposal to Obtain Whole-Genome Sequence for 10 000 Vertebrate Species (471 citations)
  • The expansion of conservation genetics (342 citations)
  • Combined support for wholesale taxic atavism in gavialine crocodylians. (169 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Endangered species and Biodiversity. George Amato works in the field of Zoology, namely Taxonomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal, Genetic structure and Conservation genetics.

His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Genetics, St. Vincent parrot, Amazona guildingii, Microsatellite and Phylogenetics. As part of the same scientific family, George Amato usually focuses on Microsatellite, concentrating on Genetic variation and intersecting with Inbreeding. He studied Paraphyly and Monophyly that intersect with Molecular phylogenetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (43.70%)
  • Ecology (32.77%)
  • Evolutionary biology (31.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Zoology (43.70%)
  • Ecology (32.77%)
  • Genetic diversity (10.08%)

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

His main research concerns Zoology, Ecology, Genetic diversity, Evolutionary biology and Phylogeography. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Crocodile and Trophic level. George Amato combines subjects such as IUCN Red List and Endangered species with his study of Genetic diversity.

George Amato has researched Endangered species in several fields, including Polymorphic Microsatellite Marker, Genotyping and Multiplex. His work focuses on many connections between Evolutionary biology and other disciplines, such as Crocodylus, that overlap with his field of interest in Sister group, Ancient DNA, Taxonomy and Taxon. His studies examine the connections between Phylogeography and genetics, as well as such issues in Population genetics, with regards to Range, Animal population genetics, Fixation and Gene flow.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome assembly and geospatial phylogenomics of the bed bug Cimex lectularius (49 citations)
  • The Importance of an Interdisciplinary Research Approach to Inform Wildlife Trade Management in Southeast Asia (45 citations)
  • Hybrid Speciation in a Marine Mammal: The Clymene Dolphin (Stenella clymene) (40 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Genus

George Amato mainly focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Habitat, Zoology and Genetic monitoring. His Ecology research integrates issues from Population genetics, Rookery, Genetic structure, Phylogeography and Biological dispersal. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Endangered species and Biodiversity.

His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crocodile, Genetic algorithm and Heteropatric speciation. His Genetic monitoring research incorporates elements of Jaguar, Panthera, Identification and Non invasive sampling. His studies in Jaguar integrate themes in fields like Conservation genetics and Genetic diversity.
