Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Predation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus, Zoology and Reproductive success. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Demography, Paternal care and Sex ratio. His Seychelles warbler research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Longitudinal study and Inbreeding avoidance.

His work on Sylviidae as part of general Acrocephalus research is often related to Cousin, thus linking different fields of science. His Zoology research includes elements of Great reed warbler, Brood parasite and Maternal effect. His Reproductive success research integrates issues from Intraspecific competition, Foraging, Ecological psychology and Life history theory.

His most cited work include:

  • Extreme adaptive modification in sex ratio of the Seychelles warbler's eggs (457 citations)
  • Importance of habitat saturation and territory quality for evolution of cooperative breeding in the Seychelles warbler (410 citations)
  • The Evolution of Social Behaviour (385 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus, Zoology and Demography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal, Paternal care, Sex ratio and Reproductive success. His Seychelles warbler study deals with Cooperative breeding intersecting with Helping behavior and Kin selection.

His study in Acrocephalus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Senescence, Warbler and Reproduction. His research integrates issues of Hatching and Brood parasite in his study of Zoology. His work deals with themes such as Brood and Competition, which intersect with Demography.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.06%)
  • Seychelles warbler (36.36%)
  • Acrocephalus (31.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.06%)
  • Seychelles warbler (36.36%)
  • Acrocephalus (31.82%)

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

Jan Komdeur mainly focuses on Ecology, Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus, Zoology and Demography. His Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Paternal care. Jan Komdeur has included themes like Evolutionary biology, Balancing selection, Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression and Parental investment in his Seychelles warbler study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Senescence, Vertebrate and Cooperative breeding in addition to Acrocephalus. His study looks at the relationship between Zoology and fields such as Reproductive success, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. He interconnects Natural population growth, Sexual selection, Reproduction, Competition and Longevity in the investigation of issues within Demography.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Spatio-temporal variation in lifelong telomere dynamics in a long-term ecological study (42 citations)
  • Telomere length reveals cumulative individual and transgenerational inbreeding effects in a passerine bird (29 citations)
  • Why and how the early-life environment affects development of coping behaviours (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Predation

Jan Komdeur spends much of his time researching Ecology, Seychelles warbler, Acrocephalus, Cooperative breeding and Zoology. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology and F-statistics. His work carried out in the field of Seychelles warbler brings together such families of science as Genetics and Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression.

His research in Acrocephalus tackles topics such as Senescence which are related to areas like Telomere, Telomere Homeostasis, Natural population growth and Ecological study. His Cooperative breeding study incorporates themes from Defence mechanisms, Reactive oxygen species, Sociality and Biological dispersal. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Songbird, Paternal care and Reproductive success.
