What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Eusociality, Evolutionary biology, Nest and Macrotermes bellicosus.
Her study in the fields of Cryptotermes secundus and Animal ecology under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Division of labour.
Her Eusociality research incorporates elements of Social evolution, Evolutionary ecology and Inclusive fitness.
Judith Korb focuses mostly in the field of Social evolution, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ecology and, in certain cases, Polyphenism, Sociality and Neoteny.
Her Nest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shrub and Longevity.
The various areas that Judith Korb examines in her Macrotermes bellicosus study include Macrotermitinae and Habitat.
Her most cited work include:
- Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)
- Molecular traces of alternative social organization in a termite genome (231 citations)
- Thermoregulation and ventilation of termite mounds. (142 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Zoology, Social evolution, Nest and Eusociality.
Judith Korb works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to concerns involving Evolutionary biology and, occasionally, Phylogenetics.
She usually deals with Zoology and limits it to topics linked to Insect and Gene and Polyphenism.
Her studies in Social evolution integrate themes in fields like Kin selection, Cooperative breeding, Ecology, Foraging and Competition.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Adaptation, Biological dispersal, Trophallaxis and Wet season.
Her Eusociality study combines topics in areas such as Zootermopsis nevadensis, Genome, Molecular evolution and Caste determination.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (85.04%)
- Zoology (26.77%)
- Social evolution (19.69%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Ecology (85.04%)
- Zoology (26.77%)
- Ageing (3.94%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ecology, Zoology, Ageing, Longevity and Sociality are her primary areas of study.
Her studies in Ecosystem engineer, Host, Macrotermitinae, Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Niche differentiation are all subfields of Ecology research.
Her work on Cryptotermes secundus as part of general Zoology research is frequently linked to Leucocytozoon, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Her Longevity research incorporates themes from Fecundity and Insect.
Her research integrates issues of Proximate and ultimate causation and ANT in her study of Sociality.
Her study in Evolutionary biology extends to Juvenile hormone with its themes.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Long live the queen, the king and the commoner? Transcript expression differences between old and young in the termite Cryptotermes secundus. (15 citations)
- Termite Communities along A Disturbance Gradient in a West African Savanna (9 citations)
- Oxidative stress and senescence in social insects: a significant but inconsistent link? (7 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Judith Korb mainly investigates Longevity, Sociality, Ageing, Ecology and Zoology.
Judith Korb has included themes like Fecundity and Insect, Juvenile hormone in her Longevity study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology, Social complexity and Life history in addition to Fecundity.
Judith Korb has researched Sociality in several fields, including Senescence and ANT.
Her Ecology study incorporates themes from Microbiome and Metagenomics.
In the subject of general Zoology, her work in Cryptotermes secundus and Queen is often linked to Totipotent, Gene transcript and Commoner, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
