Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Natural selection, Genetics and Selection. Amphibian and Rana is closely connected to Zoology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Genetic variability, Genetic variation, Ficedula albicollis and Local adaptation.

His research integrates issues of Quantitative trait locus, Genetic drift, Microevolution and Quantitative genetics in his study of Natural selection. Juha Merilä combines subjects such as Statistics and Genetic diversity with his study of Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genomics, Human evolutionary genetics and Ecological genetics.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses (849 citations)
  • Comparison of genetic differentiation at marker loci and quantitative traits (765 citations)
  • Ecological genomics of local adaptation (724 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Stickleback and Genetics. Juha Merilä interconnects Rana and Genetic diversity in the investigation of issues within Ecology. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Natural selection, Selection, Quantitative trait locus and Genetic drift, Genetic variation.

The Genetic variation study combines topics in areas such as Genetic variability, Maternal effect and Heritability. His Zoology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Amphibian. His Stickleback research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gasterosteus and Genome, Gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (48.48%)
  • Evolutionary biology (32.03%)
  • Zoology (26.84%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (32.03%)
  • Stickleback (21.43%)
  • Gasterosteus (14.94%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Stickleback, Gasterosteus, Pungitius and Ecology. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Selection, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Genetic variation and Local adaptation. A large part of his Selection studies is devoted to Natural selection.

His studies deal with areas such as Adaptation, Genome, Mesopredator release hypothesis and Genetic admixture as well as Stickleback. His Gasterosteus study incorporates themes from Zoology, Coalescent theory, Food web and Phenotypic plasticity. His work deals with themes such as Convergent evolution, Phylogenetics, Genetic drift and Effective population size, which intersect with Pungitius.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient (96 citations)
  • Extraordinarily rapid speciation in a marine fish (56 citations)
  • Worldwide phylogeny of three-spined sticklebacks. (28 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Gasterosteus, Stickleback, Pungitius and Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogenetic tree, Genome, Mitochondrial DNA, Phylogenetics and Phylogenomics in addition to Evolutionary biology. His Stickleback research includes themes of Adaptation, Gene flow and Coalescent theory.

His research in Pungitius intersects with topics in Genetic architecture, Genetics, Heritability and Gene mapping. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic structure and Metapopulation. His studies examine the connections between Phenotypic plasticity and genetics, as well as such issues in Environmental enrichment, with regards to Zoology.
