Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Domestication, Ancient DNA, Domestic pig, Genetics and Biological dispersal. Greger Larson has included themes like Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Haplotype and East Asia in his Domestication study. His study in the fields of Human evolution under the domain of Evolutionary biology overlaps with other disciplines such as Conservation genetics.

His research in Zoology tackles topics such as Phylogeography which are related to areas like Ancestor, Biogeography and Canis. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecology, Wild boar, Population genetics, Genetic data and Ethnology. His research in Biological dispersal intersects with topics in Zooarchaeology and Morphometrics.

His most cited work include:

  • Analyses of pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution (889 citations)
  • Worldwide Phylogeography of Wild Boar Reveals Multiple Centers of Pig Domestication (609 citations)
  • Identification of the Yellow Skin Gene Reveals a Hybrid Origin of the Domestic Chicken (342 citations)

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

Greger Larson mainly focuses on Domestication, Ancient DNA, Evolutionary biology, Zoology and Ecology. His Domestication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Domestic pig, Biological dispersal, Wild boar and Genome. His Ancient DNA research includes themes of Bronze Age, Archaeology, Ancient history, Chalcolithic and Human evolution.

Greger Larson interconnects Phylogenetic tree, Selection, Genomics, Gene flow and Aurochs in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology. His work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Pleistocene, Mitochondrial DNA, Phylogeography, Phylogenetics and Archaeological evidence. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Demographic history that intersect with issues in Molecular clock.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Domestication (48.80%)
  • Ancient DNA (34.94%)
  • Evolutionary biology (29.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Domestication (48.80%)
  • Evolutionary biology (29.52%)
  • Ancient DNA (34.94%)

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

His main research concerns Domestication, Evolutionary biology, Ancient DNA, Zoology and Pleistocene. His Domestication research incorporates elements of MEDLINE, Genome, Ethnology, Animal Welfare and World history. The study incorporates disciplines such as Adaptation, Phylogenetics, Gene flow and Genomics in addition to Evolutionary biology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cursorial, Data mining, Peninsula and Coalescent theory. His Zoology research includes elements of Biological dispersal and Mitochondrial DNA. His studies deal with areas such as Lineage, Holocene and Canis as well as Pleistocene.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The History of Farm Foxes Undermines the Animal Domestication Syndrome (32 citations)
  • Ancient DNA suggests modern wolves trace their origin to a Late Pleistocene expansion from Beringia. (23 citations)
  • Origins and genetic legacy of prehistoric dogs. (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Domestication, Evolutionary biology, Ancient DNA, Zoology and Megafauna. Greger Larson combines subjects such as Gene flow and Genome with his study of Domestication. His research integrates issues of Adaptation and Genomics in his study of Evolutionary biology.

The Ancient DNA study combines topics in areas such as Pleistocene and Canis. In general Zoology, his work in Subspecies is often linked to Silver fox linking many areas of study. In his study, Demographic history is inextricably linked to Ecology, which falls within the broad field of Megafauna.
