Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Genetics

Harilaos A. Lessios mainly focuses on Ecology, Biological dispersal, Vicariance, Phylogeography and Diadema. His work on Reproductive isolation expands to the thematically related Ecology. His Reproductive isolation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Clade, Extinction, Incipient speciation, Tropics and Genetic algorithm.

The concepts of his Biological dispersal study are interwoven with issues in Pantropical, Allopatric speciation and Gene flow. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Coalescent theory, Taxon, Bayesian probability, Demographic history and Approximate Bayesian computation. His study in Diadema antillarum extends to Diadema with its themes.

His most cited work include:

  • Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography (1093 citations)
  • Spread of Diadema Mass Mortality Through the Caribbean (467 citations)
  • MASS MORTALITY OF DIADEMA ANTILLARUM IN THE CARIBBEAN: What Have We Learned? (429 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Sea urchin and Panama. His research integrates issues of Phylogeography and Biological dispersal in his study of Ecology. His Vicariance study in the realm of Phylogeography connects with subjects such as Central American Seaway.

His work deals with themes such as Taxon, Paleontology, Monophyly and Coalescent theory, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. His studies deal with areas such as Larva and Reproductive isolation as well as Zoology. Harilaos A. Lessios interconnects Genetics, Oceanography and Gamete in the investigation of issues within Sea urchin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (69.07%)
  • Evolutionary biology (25.77%)
  • Zoology (20.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Ecology (69.07%)
  • Sea urchin (20.62%)
  • Evolutionary biology (25.77%)

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

Harilaos A. Lessios focuses on Ecology, Sea urchin, Evolutionary biology, Phylogeography and Panama. Ecology and Gene flow are commonly linked in his work. His Sea urchin research incorporates elements of Zoology, Microsatellite, Loss of heterozygosity and Reproductive isolation.

His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sea anemone and Monophyly. His work on Vicariance is typically connected to Central American Seaway and Geography as part of general Phylogeography study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Panama study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Divergence, Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 1 and Marine species.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Formation of the Isthmus of Panama (327 citations)
  • The Great Diadema antillarum Die-Off: 30 Years Later* (72 citations)
  • Hundreds of genetic barcodes of the species-rich hydroid superfamily Plumularioidea (Cnidaria, Medusozoa) provide a guide toward more reliable taxonomy (35 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Coral reef, Coalescent theory and Phylogeography. His research on Ecology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Land bridge. The study incorporates disciplines such as Species complex, Polyphyly, Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 1 and Monophyly in addition to Evolutionary biology.

His Coral reef study incorporates themes from Microbiome, Marine ecosystem and Host. His study in Coalescent theory is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tree of life, Phylogenomics, Clade, Sea urchin and Genetic drift. The various areas that Harilaos A. Lessios examines in his Phylogeography study include Indo-Pacific, Evolutionary change, Effective population size and Null model.
