Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Biochemistry, Acclimatization, Adaptation and Intertidal zone. His Ecology research integrates issues from Zoology, Organism and Heat shock protein. His Biochemistry research focuses on Lactate dehydrogenase, Osmolyte, Urea, Pyruvate kinase and Protein structure.

The Acclimatization study combines topics in areas such as Range, Climate change, Threatened species, Physiology and Biogeography. His research integrates issues of Biophysics, Function, Enzyme, Trout and Ectotherm in his study of Adaptation. His work on Intertidal ecology as part of his general Intertidal zone study is frequently connected to Petrolisthes and Porcelain crab, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Living with water stress: evolution of osmolyte systems (3140 citations)
  • Biochemical Adaptation: Mechanism and Process in Physiological Evolution (1405 citations)
  • The physiology of climate change: how potentials for acclimatization and genetic adaptation will determine 'winners' and 'losers'. (1081 citations)

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

George N. Somero mainly investigates Ecology, Biochemistry, Acclimatization, Enzyme and Lactate dehydrogenase. As part of his studies on Ecology, George N. Somero often connects relevant areas like Zoology. His research in Biochemistry focuses on subjects like Skeletal muscle, which are connected to Actin.

His Acclimatization research includes themes of Gene expression, Trematomus, Gillichthys and Cell biology. George N. Somero has researched Enzyme in several fields, including Protein structure, Biophysics and Catalysis. George N. Somero focuses mostly in the field of Lactate dehydrogenase, narrowing it down to matters related to Citrate synthase and, in some cases, Malate dehydrogenase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (33.20%)
  • Biochemistry (33.20%)
  • Acclimatization (15.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Ecology (33.20%)
  • Mytilus (9.54%)
  • Acclimatization (15.77%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Mytilus, Acclimatization, Cell biology and Adaptation. George N. Somero frequently studies issues relating to Basal metabolic rate and Ecology. He has included themes like Zoology, Botany, Mussel and Mytilus trossulus in his Mytilus study.

His work carried out in the field of Acclimatization brings together such families of science as Synaptic membrane, Respirometry, Gillichthys and Ectotherm. The concepts of his Adaptation study are interwoven with issues in Malate dehydrogenase, Thermal physiology, Function and Phenotypic plasticity. His study with Protein subunit involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The physiology of climate change: how potentials for acclimatization and genetic adaptation will determine 'winners' and 'losers'. (1081 citations)
  • The Physiology of Global Change: Linking Patterns to Mechanisms (293 citations)
  • Transcriptomic responses to heat stress in invasive and native blue mussels (genus Mytilus): molecular correlates of invasive success. (181 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Acclimatization, Gene expression, Mytilus and Adaptation. His studies in Invasive species, Global change, Intertidal zone, Climate change and Habitat are all subfields of Ecology research. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Invertebrate and Extinction.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pacific bluefin tuna, Cell biology, Functional genomics and Ectotherm. In his research on the topic of Ectotherm, Body Temperature Changes is strongly related with Gillichthys. His Adaptation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Peptide sequence, Ecosystem, Flexibility and Function.
