Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Paleontology

John G. Fleagle spends much of his time researching Zoology, Primate, Evolutionary biology, Arboreal locomotion and Ecology. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Postcrania, Theropithecus, Anthropoidea and Chiropotes satanas. The concepts of his Primate study are interwoven with issues in Quadrupedalism, Biodiversity and Old World.

His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Adaptation, Paleontology, Genus and Human taxonomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Body weight, Apidium and Climbing in addition to Arboreal locomotion. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Phanerozoic and Eutheria.

His most cited work include:

  • Primate Adaptation and Evolution (1253 citations)
  • Stratigraphic placement and age of modern humans from Kibish, Ethiopia (729 citations)
  • Locomotor behavior, body size, and comparative ecology of seven Surinam monkeys (373 citations)

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

John G. Fleagle mainly investigates Primate, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Paleontology and Ecology. His Primate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quadrupedalism, Anatomy, Anthropology, Diversity and Morphology. His Anatomy research incorporates themes from Postcrania and Apidium.

His research investigates the connection between Zoology and topics such as Arboreal locomotion that intersect with problems in Frugivore. John G. Fleagle combines topics linked to Systematics with his work on Evolutionary biology. John G. Fleagle interconnects Homo sapiens, Archaeology, Fauna and Genus in the investigation of issues within Paleontology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Primate (26.61%)
  • Zoology (22.58%)
  • Evolutionary biology (20.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Paleontology (17.34%)
  • Zoology (22.58%)
  • Evolutionary biology (20.97%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Primate and Ecology. His Paleontology research includes elements of Genus and Archaeology. He studies Old World which is a part of Zoology.

The various areas that he examines in his Evolutionary biology study include Systematics, Primate evolution, Allometry and Body size. His Primate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Postcrania and Morphology. His work deals with themes such as Late Miocene, Quaternary and Pleistocene, which intersect with Ecology.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Early Miocene Paleobiology in Patagonia: Tephrochronology of the Miocene Santa Cruz and Pinturas Formations, Argentina (69 citations)
  • Correlation of the KHS Tuff of the Kibish Formation to volcanic ash layers at other sites, and the age of early Homo sapiens (Omo I and Omo II) (66 citations)
  • Faunal change in the Turkana Basin during the late Oligocene and Miocene. (60 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Genus

Paleontology, Zoology, Ecology, Pleistocene and Paleobiology are his primary areas of study. His research ties Apidium and Paleontology together. His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Skull, Clade and Fossil Record.

As part of one scientific family, John G. Fleagle deals mainly with the area of Clade, narrowing it down to issues related to the Crania, and often Human evolution, Taxon and Primate. His studies deal with areas such as Ecology, Habitat and Sexual dimorphism as well as Primate. In Pleistocene, John G. Fleagle works on issues like Homo sapiens, which are connected to Skeleton, Body size and Anatomy.
