Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Natural selection

Ido Pen spends much of his time researching Ecology, Natural selection, Sex ratio, Sex allocation and Adaptation. His work on Sexual selection and Cooperative breeding as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Division of labour, Phenomenon and Task, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Cooperative breeding study also includes fields such as

  • Interspecific competition, which have a strong connection to Evolutionary biology,
  • Competition which intersects with area such as Kin selection.

The various areas that he examines in his Natural selection study include Mutualism, Microeconomics and Coevolution. His Sex ratio research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Avian clutch size, Divergence, Parent–offspring conflict, Competition and Ecological selection. In general Adaptation, his work in Local adaptation is often linked to Genetic drift linking many areas of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Cooperation and competition between relatives. (620 citations)
  • Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)
  • Geographical patterns of adaptation within a species’ range: interactions between drift and gene flow (216 citations)

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

Ido Pen mainly focuses on Ecology, Sex ratio, Evolutionary biology, Sex allocation and Genetics. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology, Natural selection and Biological dispersal. His Natural selection research integrates issues from Adaptation, Coevolution and Phenotypic plasticity.

His work on Local adaptation as part of general Adaptation research is frequently linked to Genetic drift, bridging the gap between disciplines. Ido Pen is studying Kin selection, which is a component of Evolutionary biology. His Sex allocation research includes elements of Avian clutch size, Sex characteristics, Social psychology, Nasonia vitripennis and Parasitoid wasp.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (45.83%)
  • Sex ratio (31.25%)
  • Evolutionary biology (27.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (27.08%)
  • Eusociality (7.29%)
  • Natural selection (15.62%)

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

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Eusociality, Natural selection, Kin selection and Zoology. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reproduction and Evolution of ageing. His work carried out in the field of Eusociality brings together such families of science as Haplodiploidy, Sex ratio, Pleiotropy and Inclusive fitness.

He combines subjects such as Genetics, Heredity, Social psychology, Sexual selection and Inheritance with his study of Natural selection. His Kin selection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Altruism and Sociality. His Altruism research includes themes of Reciprocity and Sex allocation.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The information value of non-genetic inheritance in plants and animals. (57 citations)
  • When is incomplete epigenetic resetting in germ cells favoured by natural selection (54 citations)
  • Negotiation and appeasement can be more effective drivers of sociality than kin selection (30 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Natural selection, Kin selection, Eusociality and Inheritance. His study in the field of Social evolution is also linked to topics like Division of labour. The concepts of his Natural selection study are interwoven with issues in Phenotypic plasticity and Evolution of ageing.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Altruism, Sociality and Microeconomics. His studies deal with areas such as Haplodiploidy, Sex ratio and Inclusive fitness as well as Eusociality. Ido Pen focuses mostly in the field of Inheritance, narrowing it down to matters related to Heredity and, in some cases, Adaptive value, Phenotype, Reprogramming and Adaptation.
