What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Game theory, Evolutionary biology, Social psychology and Genetics.
His work on Coevolution, Competition and Generalist and specialist species as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Resource, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Evolutionarily stable strategy and Evolutionary game theory study in the realm of Game theory interacts with subjects such as Range and If and only if.
When carried out as part of a general Evolutionarily stable strategy research project, his work on Evolutionarily stable state is frequently linked to work in Resource holding potential and Constant, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Habit, Argument, Flock and Genetic theory.
His work on Green-beard effect as part of general Social psychology research is frequently linked to Group, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His most cited work include:
- The Logic of Animal Conflict (4245 citations)
- The theory of games and the evolution of animal conflicts (1775 citations)
- Group Selection and Kin Selection (1407 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
J. Maynard Smith focuses on Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Drosophila subobscura, Gene and Ecology.
His research in the fields of Recombination, Allele, Mutation and Sexual reproduction overlaps with other disciplines such as Linkage disequilibrium.
His work focuses on many connections between Allele and other disciplines, such as Locus, that overlap with his field of interest in Allele frequency, Mutation rate and Population size.
His research investigates the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Population genetics that cross with problems in Biological evolution.
His Drosophila subobscura study incorporates themes from Zoology, Botany, Heterozygote advantage, Ageing and Animal science.
As part of his studies on Ecology, J. Maynard Smith frequently links adjacent subjects like Mathematical economics.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (30.39%)
- Evolutionary biology (19.61%)
- Drosophila subobscura (11.76%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1984-2017)?
- Genetics (30.39%)
- Recombination (9.80%)
- Gene (11.76%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Genetics, Recombination, Gene, Demography and Game theory.
His Mutation, Allele, Synonymous substitution and Genetic recombination study in the realm of Genetics interacts with subjects such as Linkage disequilibrium.
His Recombination research includes themes of Evolutionary biology, Mitochondrial DNA and Cell biology.
His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as FLP-FRT recombination, Chromosomal crossover, Evolutionarily stable strategy and DNA repair.
His research in Gene intersects with topics in Amino acid composition and Saturation.
Game theory is a primary field of his research addressed under Mathematical economics.
Between 1984 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- The evolution of aggression: can selection generate variability? (253 citations)
- Detecting recombination from gene trees. (223 citations)
- Must reliable signals always be costly (133 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
J. Maynard Smith mainly focuses on Game theory, Genetics, Recombination, If and only if and Mathematical economics.
When carried out as part of a general Game theory research project, his work on Evolutionarily stable strategy is frequently linked to work in Range and Constant, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
He combines topics linked to Tree with his work on Genetics.
J. Maynard Smith interconnects Evolutionary biology, Genetic model and Population genetics in the investigation of issues within Recombination.
If and only if is connected with Ecology, Biological evolution, Social psychology, Plumage and Natural selection in his research.
