What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His main research concerns Ecology, Parasitoid, Zoology, Hymenoptera and Sexual selection.
His study on Foraging and Insect is often connected to Time allocation, Parasite hosting and Cladogenesis as part of broader study in Ecology.
His Parasitoid research is under the purview of Larva.
His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biological evolution, Body plan and Evolutionary change.
Jacques J. M. van Alphen works mostly in the field of Hymenoptera, limiting it down to topics relating to Biological dispersal and, in certain cases, Asobara tabida, Fecundity, Reproduction and Longevity, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Sexual selection study combines topics in areas such as Assortative mating, Mate choice and Sympatric speciation.
His most cited work include:
- Cichlid Fish Diversity Threatened by Eutrophication That Curbs Sexual Selection (996 citations)
- The effect of male coloration on female mate choice in closely related Lake Victoria cichlids (Haplochromis nyererei complex). (392 citations)
- A field study of size–fitness relationships in the parasitoid Asobara tabida (220 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Parasitoid, Zoology, Host and Hymenoptera are his primary areas of study.
His works in Foraging, Larva, Life history theory, Competition and Parasitoid wasp are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology.
The Parasitoid study combines topics in areas such as Habitat, Drosophila and Parasitism.
His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fecundity and Reproduction.
His work in Hymenoptera addresses subjects such as Sex ratio, which are connected to disciplines such as PEST analysis.
The concepts of his Sexual selection study are interwoven with issues in Allopatric speciation, Sympatric speciation and Reproductive isolation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (80.34%)
- Parasitoid (48.72%)
- Zoology (45.30%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?
- Ecology (80.34%)
- Parasitoid (48.72%)
- Zoology (45.30%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Parasitoid, Zoology, Host and Larva.
His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Fecundity, Genetic structure and Longevity.
Parasitoid is a subfield of Hymenoptera that Jacques J. M. van Alphen investigates.
Jacques J. M. van Alphen interconnects Midwife toad and Reproduction in the investigation of issues within Zoology.
His Larva research incorporates elements of Climate change and Reproductive success.
The various areas that Jacques J. M. van Alphen examines in his Mating study include Sexual selection, Disruptive selection and Sire.
Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Thermal plasticity of metabolic rates linked to life‐history traits and foraging behaviour in a parasitic wasp (55 citations)
- Thermal tolerance of sympatric hymenopteran parasitoid species: does it match seasonal activity? (35 citations)
- Clonal genetic variation in a Wolbachia-infected asexual wasp: horizontal transmission or historical sex? (30 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Host, Parasitoid, Drosophila and Foraging.
His specific area of interest is Ecology, where he studies Ectotherm.
His Wolbachia and Parasitoid wasp study, which is part of a larger body of work in Host, is frequently linked to Horizontal transmission, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Parasitoid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Insect, Resistance and Sympatric speciation.
His Drosophila research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ectoparasitism, Parasitism, Reproduction and Competition.
He has included themes like Habitat, Climate change, Larva, Reproductive success and Spatial distribution in his Foraging study.
