Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Cretaceous

Jean-Claude Rage focuses on Paleontology, Fauna, Cretaceous, Ecology and Vertebrate. In general Paleontology study, his work on Sahelanthropus, Biochronology and Paleogene often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Sahelanthropus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Elephantoidea, Orrorin, Rift valley and Australopithecus anamensis.

His Fauna research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Early Pleistocene, Cenozoic and Rhacophoridae. Jean-Claude Rage has included themes like Assemblage and Mesozoic in his Cretaceous study. His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quaternary, Gondwana and Marine reptile.

His most cited work include:

  • A new hominid from the Upper Miocene of Chad, Central Africa (772 citations)
  • Geology and palaeontology of the Upper Miocene Toros-Menalla hominid locality, Chad (364 citations)
  • Paleobiogeography of Africa: How distinct from Gondwana and Laurasia? (220 citations)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Fauna, Cretaceous, Ecology and Taxon. His research on Paleontology often connects related areas such as Genus. His studies deal with areas such as Boidae, Neogene, Incertae sedis and Cenozoic as well as Fauna.

Jean-Claude Rage combines subjects such as Mediterranean climate, Oceanography, Quaternary and Archosauromorpha with his study of Cretaceous. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Period and Extinction. His research investigates the connection between Taxon and topics such as Skull that intersect with issues in Postcrania.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (52.00%)
  • Fauna (32.00%)
  • Cretaceous (30.00%)

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

  • Paleontology (52.00%)
  • Fauna (32.00%)
  • Zoology (15.00%)

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

Jean-Claude Rage mainly investigates Paleontology, Fauna, Zoology, Ecology and Anatomy. His Paleontology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Floodplain. Jean-Claude Rage has researched Zoology in several fields, including Neogene and Late Miocene.

His work on Generalist and specialist species, Aquatic ecosystem and Habitat as part of general Ecology research is often related to Bone mass and Ceratophryidae, thus linking different fields of science. His Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Predation and Salamander. His Gondwana research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mesozoic and Cretaceous.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guelb el Ahmar (Bathonian, Anoual Syncline, eastern Morocco): First continental flora and fauna including mammals from the Middle Jurassic of Africa (38 citations)
  • Triadobatrachus massinoti, the earliest known lissamphibian (Vertebrata: Tetrapoda) re-examined by μCT scan, and the evolution of trunk length in batrachians (29 citations)
  • The fossil record of lissamphibians from Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Plate (20 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Extinction

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Hyperoliidae, Pyxicephalidae, Albanerpetontidae and Salamander. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Paleontology, Red beds and Syncline. His Hyperoliidae study overlaps with Brevicipitidae and Ceratophryidae.
