What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Hamish G. Spencer mostly deals with Genetics, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Allele and Zoology.
His work on Locus, Gene and Allele frequency as part of his general Genetics study is frequently connected to Genomic imprinting, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Durvillaea antarctica, Biological dispersal and Phylogeography.
His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Population genetics, Selection, Mutation, Phylogenetics and Epigenetics.
His Allele research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic model, Frequency-dependent selection and Genetic variation.
His research in Zoology tackles topics such as Phylogenetic tree which are related to areas like Pelecaniformes.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (35.03%)
- Ecology (31.21%)
- Evolutionary biology (27.39%)
