Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Gene

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Soay sheep, Genetics, Ecology, Zoology and Genetic variation. The Soay sheep study combines topics in areas such as Genetic correlation, Ovis, Phenotypic trait, Population size and Heritability. Her Genetics research incorporates elements of Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression and Outbreeding depression.

The various areas that Josephine M. Pemberton examines in her Ecology study include Population density, Evolutionary dynamics, Senescence and Population ecology. Her study explores the link between Zoology and topics such as Reproductive success that cross with problems in Cooperative breeding, Mongoose, Sociality and Reproductive suppression. Her studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary biology, Feature, Natural selection and Geographical distance as well as Genetic variation.

Her most cited work include:

  • Statistical confidence for likelihood-based paternity inference in natural populations (3602 citations)
  • Age, Sex, Density, Winter Weather, and Population Crashes in Soay Sheep (752 citations)
  • Parasite-mediated selection against inbred Soay sheep in a free-living, island population (684 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Soay sheep, Genetics, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Zoology. Josephine M. Pemberton has researched Soay sheep in several fields, including Ovis, Natural selection, Heritability, Genetic variation and Major histocompatibility complex. Josephine M. Pemberton works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to topics relating to Inbreeding depression and, in certain cases, Inbreeding avoidance, as a part of the same area of interest.

Her work on Sexual selection as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Trait, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Her studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Population genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Inbreeding and Allele. Her Zoology research includes elements of Parasitism and Reproduction.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Soay sheep (45.63%)
  • Genetics (29.77%)
  • Ecology (28.16%)

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

  • Soay sheep (45.63%)
  • Evolutionary biology (30.74%)
  • Zoology (26.86%)

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

Soay sheep, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Genetics and Natural selection are her primary areas of study. The concepts of her Soay sheep study are interwoven with issues in Major histocompatibility complex, MHC class I, Immune system, Antibody and Haplotype. Her research on Evolutionary biology focuses in particular on Heritability.

Her Zoology research includes themes of Range, Ungulate, Immunity, Reproduction and Parasitism. Her work on Directional selection as part of general Natural selection research is frequently linked to Fitness function, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetic variation, Allele, Genotype and Inbreeding in addition to Genetic architecture.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Detecting the True Extent of Introgression during Anthropogenic Hybridization (43 citations)
  • Senescence in immunity against helminth parasites predicts adult mortality in a wild mammal (20 citations)
  • Declining home range area predicts reduced late-life survival in two wild ungulate populations. (20 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Josephine M. Pemberton mainly focuses on Zoology, Soay sheep, Evolutionary biology, Natural selection and Genetics. Her research integrates issues of Range, Reproduction, Ungulate and Parasitism in her study of Zoology. While the research belongs to areas of Reproduction, Josephine M. Pemberton spends her time largely on the problem of Body weight, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Ecology.

Josephine M. Pemberton has included themes like Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression and Immune system in her Soay sheep study. Her Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Missing data, Pedigree chart, Introgression, Genetic marker and Quantitative trait locus. Her work on Directional selection is typically connected to Fitness function as part of general Natural selection study, connecting several disciplines of science.
