Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Genus
Paleontology

Gerald R. Smith mainly focuses on Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Cyprinidae, Oceanography and Morphometrics. His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Zoology and Salmonidae. The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Lineage, Catostomidae, Cladistics and Introgression.

His Cyprinidae study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock, Biological evolution and Mitosis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Isotopic composition and Seasonality. His research integrates issues of Multivariate statistics, Linear discriminant analysis and Principal component analysis in his study of Morphometrics.

His most cited work include:

Morphometrics in Evolutionary Biology. (502 citations)
MULTIVARIATE DISCRIMINATION BY SHAPE IN RELATION TO SIZE (426 citations)
Establishment of gobiidae in the great lakes basin (377 citations)

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

Gerald R. Smith spends much of his time researching Ecology, Paleontology, Fishery, Evolutionary biology and Zoology. His research brings together the fields of Sedimentary depositional environment and Ecology. Gerald R. Smith combines subjects such as Trout, Oncorhynchus, Osteology and Predation with his study of Fishery.

His work deals with themes such as Genetics, Sympatric speciation, Morphometrics and Introgression, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. Gerald R. Smith interconnects Cladistics and Catostomidae in the investigation of issues within Zoology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Ecology, Phyletic gradualism and Limnology in addition to Paleoecology.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (32.50%)
Paleontology (20.00%)
Fishery (16.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2014)?

Oceanography (13.75%)
Fishery (16.25%)
Ecology (32.50%)

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

Gerald R. Smith mostly deals with Oceanography, Fishery, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Paleontology. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Structural basin, Cenozoic and Cretaceous. Gerald R. Smith has included themes like Pacific ocean, Gill raker and Predation in his Fishery study.

Gerald R. Smith studies Ecology, focusing on Sympatry in particular. His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Sympatric speciation and Mating system. His study in Paleontology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Isotopic composition, Climate change, Paleoclimatology and Seasonality.

Between 2001 and 2014, his most popular works were:

Continental Paleothermometry and Seasonality Using the Isotopic Composition of Aragonitic Otoliths of Freshwater Fishes (201 citations)
Fishes of the Great Lakes Region, Revised Edition (146 citations)
Evolutionary Relationships of the Plagopterins (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) from Cytochrome b Sequences (125 citations)
