Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Paleontology

Grant D. Zazula mainly focuses on Ecology, Pleistocene, Beringia, Woolly mammoth and Mammoth steppe. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Megafauna that intersect with problems in Extinction. His Pleistocene research includes themes of Ancient DNA, Quaternary and Holocene.

His work carried out in the field of Ancient DNA brings together such families of science as Tetracycline, Antibiotics and Microbiology. In his work, Graminoid and Vegetation is strongly intertwined with Steppe bison, which is a subfield of Woolly mammoth. His work deals with themes such as Paleoecology and Last Glacial Maximum, which intersect with Mammoth steppe.

His most cited work include:

  • Antibiotic resistance is ancient (1249 citations)
  • Recalibrating Equus evolution using the genome sequence of an early Middle Pleistocene horse. (530 citations)
  • Species-specific responses of Late Quaternary megafauna to climate and humans (455 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pleistocene, Beringia, Ecology, Paleontology and Glacial period. His Pleistocene study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology and Radiocarbon dating. He has included themes like Macrofossil, Physical geography, Paleoecology and Interglacial in his Beringia study.

The various areas that Grant D. Zazula examines in his Ecology study include Ancient DNA and Woolly mammoth. His research in Paleontology intersects with topics in Osteology and Fauna. His study looks at the relationship between Glacial period and topics such as Ice sheet, which overlap with Tributary.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pleistocene (58.70%)
  • Beringia (38.04%)
  • Ecology (36.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Pleistocene (58.70%)
  • Ecology (36.96%)
  • Zoology (11.96%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Pleistocene, Ecology, Zoology, Permafrost and Evolutionary biology. His Pleistocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phylogeography, Equus and Canis. His Ecology research integrates issues from Megafauna, Effective population size, Quaternary and Last Glacial Maximum.

Grant D. Zazula interconnects Hydrology and Archaeology in the investigation of issues within Permafrost. Within one scientific family, Grant D. Zazula focuses on topics pertaining to Metagenomics under Evolutionary biology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Tremarctos ornatus and Genomics. Grant D. Zazula works mostly in the field of Beringia, limiting it down to concerns involving Biological dispersal and, occasionally, Global warming, Climate change and Glacial period.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Reframing the mammoth steppe: Insights from analysis of isotopic niches (15 citations)
  • The evolutionary history of extinct and living lions (14 citations)
  • Giant beaver palaeoecology inferred from stable isotopes (7 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Paleontology

Grant D. Zazula focuses on Ecology, Megafauna, Radiocarbon dating, Pleistocene and Ancestor. His Species diversity, Mammoth steppe, Beaver and Beringia study are his primary interests in Ecology. His Megafauna research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Niche, Ecological niche, Habitat, Ecosystem and Woolly mammoth.

His Radiocarbon dating study combines topics in areas such as Permafrost, Placer mining, Mammoth and Paleoclimatology. Grant D. Zazula combines subjects such as Biological dispersal and Paleoecology with his study of Pleistocene. His studies in Ancestor integrate themes in fields like Effective population size, Panthera, Cave and Demographic history.
