Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Extinction
  • Genus

Jennifer A. Leonard mostly deals with Ecology, Canis, Megafauna, Pleistocene and Predation. Jennifer A. Leonard has included themes like Ice age, Phylogeography, Ancient DNA and Population size in her Ecology study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Population density, Genetic variability, Mexican wolf and Genetic diversity.

Jennifer A. Leonard combines subjects such as Beringia, Extinction and Mammoth steppe with her study of Megafauna. Her work carried out in the field of Predation brings together such families of science as Genetics and Gene flow. Her Gray wolf study incorporates themes from Zoology and Vertebrate.

Her most cited work include:

  • Species-specific responses of Late Quaternary megafauna to climate and humans (455 citations)
  • Species-specific responses of Late Quaternary megafauna to climate and humans (455 citations)
  • Widespread Origins of Domestic Horse Lineages (382 citations)

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

Jennifer A. Leonard focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Ancient DNA, Evolutionary biology and Canis. Her Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Phylogeography, Biological dispersal and Pleistocene. As a part of the same scientific family, Jennifer A. Leonard mostly works in the field of Phylogeography, focusing on Extinction and, on occasion, Climate change.

Her research in Zoology intersects with topics in Eastern wolf, Gray wolf, Introgression, Microsatellite and Phylogenetics. Her study in Ancient DNA is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetics, DNA, Genetic diversity, Mitochondrial DNA and Polymerase chain reaction. Her studies deal with areas such as Endangered species, Mexican wolf and Population size as well as Canis.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (87.59%)
  • Zoology (40.15%)
  • Ancient DNA (32.12%)

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

  • Ecology (87.59%)
  • Zoology (40.15%)
  • Genetic diversity (12.41%)

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

Her main research concerns Ecology, Zoology, Genetic diversity, Range and Biodiversity. Her research integrates issues of Glacial period and Interglacial in her study of Ecology. Her Zoology research integrates issues from Extinction, Molecular phylogenetics, Disjunct distribution and Cytochrome b, Mitochondrial DNA.

Her work deals with themes such as Conservation genetics and Genetic monitoring, which intersect with Genetic diversity. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Range, Pleistocene megafauna, Megafauna and Smilodon is strongly linked to Ancient DNA. Her Keystone species research focuses on subjects like Canis, which are linked to Genetic variation.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Tracking Five Millennia of Horse Management with Extensive Ancient Genome Time Series (79 citations)
  • Wolf population genetics in Europe: a systematic review, meta-analysis and suggestions for conservation and management (70 citations)
  • Whole mitochondrial genomes illuminate ancient intercontinental dispersals of grey wolves (Canis lupus) (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Extinction
  • Genus

Her primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Ecology, Range, Genetic diversity and Canis. Her Zoology research includes elements of Population density, Extinction, Molecular phylogenetics, Monophyly and Smilodon. Her Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Polynesians and Mitochondrial DNA.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Domestication, Multiple alleles, Series and Genome in addition to Range. Her Genetic diversity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Population genetics, Apex predator, Keystone species, Conservation genetics and Genetic variation. Pleistocene is closely connected to Colonization in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Canis.
