What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Her primary scientific interests are in Tick, Zoology, Ecology, Ixodes uriae and Host.
As a part of the same scientific study, Karen D. McCoy usually deals with the Zoology, concentrating on Ixodes and frequently concerns with Genetics, Coxiella burnetii, Q fever and Pathogen.
As part of her studies on Ecology, Karen D. McCoy frequently links adjacent subjects like Evolutionary biology.
Her Ixodes uriae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Rissa tridactyla, Borrelia, Gene flow, Isolation by distance and Kittiwake.
Her Gene flow research incorporates themes from Vector, Genetic structure and Interspecific competition.
Karen D. McCoy usually deals with Host and limits it to topics linked to Generalist and specialist species and Adaptation, Tick-borne disease, Argasidae and Sympatry.
Her most cited work include:
- Mechanisms of population differentiation in seabirds (213 citations)
- Host-dependent genetic structure of parasite populations: differential dispersal of seabird tick host races. (149 citations)
- The Recent Evolution of a Maternally-Inherited Endosymbiont of Ticks Led to the Emergence of the Q Fever Pathogen, Coxiella burnetii (137 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Karen D. McCoy mainly focuses on Ecology, Tick, Zoology, Biological dispersal and Ixodes uriae.
While the research belongs to areas of Ecology, Karen D. McCoy spends her time largely on the problem of Borrelia burgdorferi, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Lyme disease.
Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Host and Tick.
Karen D. McCoy combines subjects such as Generalist and specialist species, Gene flow, Genetic structure and Population genetics with her study of Zoology.
Her research in Biological dispersal tackles topics such as Range which are related to areas like Life history theory.
Her research in Ixodes uriae intersects with topics in Microevolution and Borrelia garinii.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (57.94%)
- Tick (45.79%)
- Zoology (42.99%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Tick (45.79%)
- Zoology (42.99%)
- Range (8.41%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Tick, Zoology, Range, Ixodes and Argasidae.
Tick connects with themes related to Microbiology in her study.
The various areas that Karen D. McCoy examines in her Zoology study include Host and Microbial ecology.
Her research investigates the connection between Range and topics such as Biological dispersal that intersect with issues in Animal ecology, Genetic structure, Rainforest, Gene flow and Entomology.
Her Ixodes research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Evolutionary biology, Rhipicephalus and Ixodidae.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolutionary ecology, Vector, Nest and Life history theory.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Tissue localization of Coxiella-like endosymbionts in three European tick species through fluorescence in situ hybridization (14 citations)
- A transcriptome-based phylogenetic study of hard ticks (Ixodidae) (13 citations)
- Meeting the challenge of tick-borne disease control: A proposal for 1000 Ixodes genomes (6 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Her main research concerns Tick, Ixodes, Evolutionary biology, Ixodes ricinus and Tick-borne disease.
When carried out as part of a general Tick research project, her work on Ixodidae is frequently linked to work in Malpighian tubule system, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Her study in Rhipicephalus extends to Ixodidae with its themes.
Malpighian tubule system is integrated with Tissue tropism, Fluorescence in situ hybridization, B vitamins, Ixodes hexagonus and Microbiology in her study.
Her Ixodes ricinus research entails a greater understanding of Zoology.
Her study in Lyme disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dermacentor reticulatus, Borrelia burgdorferi and Identification.
