Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Biological dispersal, Genetic structure, Genetic diversity and Genetic variation. His Ecology research integrates issues from Isolation by distance and Ecological selection. His Biological dispersal research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Extinction, Propagule, Biodiversity and Habitat.

His Genetic variation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology and Population genetics. His research integrates issues of Genetic drift and Gene flow in his study of Population genetics. Joachim Mergeay interconnects Zoology and Daphnia pulex in the investigation of issues within Adaptation.

His most cited work include:

  • Drivers of population genetic differentiation in the wild: isolation by dispersal limitation, isolation by adaptation and isolation by colonization (251 citations)
  • Drivers of population genetic differentiation in the wild: isolation by dispersal limitation, isolation by adaptation and isolation by colonization (251 citations)
  • Invasion of an asexual American water flea clone throughout Africa and rapid displacement of a native sibling species (107 citations)

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

Joachim Mergeay mostly deals with Ecology, Genetic diversity, Biological dispersal, Range and Genetic structure. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Gene flow and Genetic variation. His Genetic diversity study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, Ecology and Population genetics.

His work in the fields of Biological dispersal, such as Seed dispersal, intersects with other areas such as Phylogeography. His studies deal with areas such as Zoology and Abundance as well as Range. In Genetic structure, Joachim Mergeay works on issues like Effective population size, which are connected to Butterfly.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (97.50%)
  • Genetic diversity (55.00%)
  • Biological dispersal (30.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Genetic diversity (55.00%)
  • Ecology (97.50%)
  • Ecology (10.00%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetic diversity, Ecology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Biodiversity. As part of his studies on Genetic diversity, he often connects relevant subjects like Population genetics. His Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Effective population size.

His work carried out in the field of Effective population size brings together such families of science as Biological dispersal, Genetic structure and Founder effect. His Biodiversity study incorporates themes from Genetic erosion and Environmental planning. The study incorporates disciplines such as Global biodiversity, Sustainable development, Sustainability, Adaptive capacity and Ecosystem diversity in addition to Convention on Biological Diversity.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genetic diversity targets and indicators in the CBD post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework must be improved (31 citations)
  • Genetic diversity targets and indicators in the CBD post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework must be improved (31 citations)
  • Genotyping validates photo-identification by the head scale pattern in a large population of the European adder (Vipera berus). (10 citations)
