Jakob Vinther

University of Bristol

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Cretaceous

Paleontology, Zoology, Feather, Ecology and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study. His work on Paleozoic and Vertebrate paleontology as part of general Paleontology research is frequently linked to Genealogy, Homo sapiens and Haven, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Camouflage study in the realm of Zoology interacts with subjects such as Oblate spheroid.

The concepts of his Feather study are interwoven with issues in Paraves, Anchiornis, Iridescence and Plumage. His work in the fields of Ecosystem, Nekton and Sirius Passet overlaps with other areas such as Extant taxon. In his work, Diagenesis, Animal ecology, Morphology and Identification is strongly intertwined with Melanosome, which is a subfield of Evolutionary biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Recalibrating Equus evolution using the genome sequence of an early Middle Pleistocene horse. (530 citations)
  • Ordovician faunas of Burgess Shale type (214 citations)
  • Plumage Color Patterns of an Extinct Dinosaur (179 citations)

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

Jakob Vinther mainly focuses on Paleontology, Zoology, Feather, Evolutionary biology and Ecology. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Annelid and Crown group. In the field of Zoology, his study on Sphenisciformes, Mollusca and Aplacophora overlaps with subjects such as Biological evolution.

The various areas that Jakob Vinther examines in his Feather study include Integumentary system, Anchiornis, Iridescence and Plumage. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sister group, Phylogenetics, Clade, Diagenesis and Melanosome. Jakob Vinther works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Cretaceous and, in certain cases, Camouflage and Predation, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (47.93%)
  • Zoology (26.45%)
  • Feather (31.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Zoology (26.45%)
  • Taphonomy (12.40%)
  • Vertebrate (4.13%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Taphonomy, Vertebrate, Paleontology and Ecology. In his work, Jakob Vinther performs multidisciplinary research in Zoology and Arthrodira. His Taphonomy research focuses on subjects like Deep time, which are linked to Evolutionary biology.

Jakob Vinther undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Evolutionary biology and Onychoteuthis banksii through his research. His work in the fields of Paleontology, such as Biostratigraphy and Laurentia, intersects with other areas such as Isotopes of carbon, Mural and Bradoriida. Jakob Vinther works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to concerns involving Anatomy and, occasionally, Cretaceous.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A draft genome sequence of the elusive giant squid, Architeuthis dux. (13 citations)
  • A Cambrian–Ordovician terrestrialization of arachnids (7 citations)
  • Was the Devonian placoderm Titanichthys a suspension feeder (4 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Cretaceous

Jakob Vinther mostly deals with Suspension, Devonian, Nekton, Titanichthys and Apex predator. Combining a variety of fields, including Suspension, Zooplankton, Arthrodira and Zoology, are what the author presents in his essays.
