Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Natural selection
  • Statistics

Joseph Travis mostly deals with Ecology, Larva, Predation, Metamorphosis and Poecilia. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fundulidae, Lucania goodei and Poeciliidae. His Predation research incorporates themes from Amphibian, Habitat and Reproductive success.

Joseph Travis has researched Metamorphosis in several fields, including Genetic variation, Period and Hyla. His work deals with themes such as Mesocosm, Guppy, Invertebrate and Evolutionary change, which intersect with Poecilia. His Sailfin molly research incorporates elements of Zoology, Sexual selection, Courtship and Amazon molly.

His most cited work include:

  • The Role of Abiotic Factors in Community Organization (522 citations)
  • Nontraditional Regression Analyses (467 citations)
  • How can the functional response best be determined (268 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Zoology, Heterandria formosa, Poecilia and Evolutionary biology. Ecosystem is closely connected to Guppy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ecology. The Mating system research Joseph Travis does as part of his general Zoology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Matrotrophy, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His Heterandria formosa research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fecundity, Life history theory, Brood and Maternal effect. Joseph Travis has included themes like Courtship, Body size, Poeciliidae and Phenotypic plasticity in his Poecilia study. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Natural selection and Selection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (58.94%)
  • Zoology (22.71%)
  • Heterandria formosa (17.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (58.94%)
  • Evolutionary biology (13.04%)
  • Heterandria formosa (17.87%)

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

Joseph Travis spends much of his time researching Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Heterandria formosa, Selection and Killifish. His Ecology study typically links adjacent topics like Guppy. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Phenotype, Genetic Change, Gene, Natural selection and Poeciliidae.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sexual selection, Mate choice and Affect. His Killifish research incorporates themes from Allopatric speciation and Sympatric speciation. His studies in Predation integrate themes in fields like Zoology and Experimental evolution.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • From low to high gear: there has been a paradigm shift in our understanding of evolution (28 citations)
  • Eco-Evolutionary Feedbacks Predict the Time Course of Rapid Life-History Evolution (18 citations)
  • Local Adaptation in Trinidadian Guppies Alters Stream Ecosystem Structure at Landscape Scales despite High Environmental Variability (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Genetics

Joseph Travis mostly deals with Ecology, Guppy, Predation, Poecilia and Local adaptation. His studies deal with areas such as Statistical hypothesis testing and Krogh's principle as well as Ecology. His Guppy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Character displacement, Allopatric speciation, Coevolution, Sympatric speciation and Adaptation.

His study looks at the intersection of Predation and topics like Experimental evolution with Range, Aquatic ecosystem, Population density and Rate of evolution. Joseph Travis has researched Poecilia in several fields, including Dichromatism, Sexual selection, Aggression, Limia and Dorsal fin. His Niche research incorporates elements of Intraspecific competition and Ecological niche.
