Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Paleontology, Zoology, Phylogenetics, Musteloidea and Phylogenetic tree. Paleontology connects with themes related to Fauna in his study. His Zoology research includes themes of Taxon and Clade, Monophyly.

His work on Carnivoramorpha as part of general Phylogenetics study is frequently connected to Ferae, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Musteloidea research integrates issues from Character evolution, Ailuridae, Common descent and Arctoidea. In his research on the topic of Sister group, Placentalia and Laurasiatheria is strongly related with Afrotheria.

His most cited work include:

  • Impacts of the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution and KPg Extinction on Mammal Diversification (1025 citations)
  • The Placental Mammal Ancestor and the Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals (756 citations)
  • Molecular phylogeny of the carnivora (mammalia): assessing the impact of increased sampling on resolving enigmatic relationships. (287 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Paleontology, Ecology, Fauna, Zoology and Mammal. His study in Cenozoic, Taxon, Notoungulata, Geochronology and Paleogene is done as part of Paleontology. His work deals with themes such as Vertebrate and Sequence, which intersect with Fauna.

His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Placentalia, Clade, Carnivoramorpha, Monophyly and Postcrania. His research in Clade intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology and Allometry. His study explores the link between Mammal and topics such as Tectonics that cross with problems in Structural basin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (43.57%)
  • Ecology (19.29%)
  • Fauna (17.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Paleontology (43.57%)
  • Evolutionary biology (7.14%)
  • Ecology (19.29%)

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

John J. Flynn mostly deals with Paleontology, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Cretaceous and Phylogenetics. His Mourasuchus research extends to Ecology, which is thematically connected. His work focuses on many connections between Cretaceous and other disciplines, such as Fauna, that overlap with his field of interest in Taxon, Holarctic and Taxonomy.

John J. Flynn works mostly in the field of Phylogenetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Phylogenetic tree and, in certain cases, Biological evolution, as a part of the same area of interest. His Tinguiririca fauna study deals with Notostylopidae intersecting with Range and Placentalia. John J. Flynn has researched Placentalia in several fields, including Bony labyrinth, Zoology and Anatomy.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Placental Mammal Ancestor and the Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals (756 citations)
  • The oldest known primate skeleton and early haplorhine evolution (151 citations)
  • A Miocene hyperdiverse crocodylian community reveals peculiar trophic dynamics in proto-Amazonian mega-wetlands. (80 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Ecology

John J. Flynn spends much of his time researching Ecology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Zoology and Bony labyrinth. His Vertebrate research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology. John J. Flynn has included themes like Omomyidae, Lemur and Primate in his Phylogenetics study.

John J. Flynn interconnects Taxon, Rostrum and Evolutionary ecology in the investigation of issues within Phylogenetic tree. His Zoology research incorporates themes from Sister group, Euarchonta, Laurasiatheria, Epitheria and Monophyly. In his study, Placentalia is strongly linked to Hegetotheriidae, which falls under the umbrella field of Anatomy.
