Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Soay sheep, Zoology, Population density and Immunity. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pathogen and Disease. His research integrates issues of Genetics, Reproduction and Balancing selection, Genetic variation, Allele in his study of Soay sheep.

His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Plant disease resistance and Hemolymph. His Population density course of study focuses on Polyphenism and Schistocerca, Metarhizium anisopliae, Desert locust, Locust and Lepidoptera genitalia. His Immunity research incorporates elements of Spodoptera littoralis and Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • Parasites as a Viability Cost of Sexual Selection in Natural Populations of Mammals. (482 citations)
  • Noise and determinism in synchronized sheep dynamics (469 citations)
  • Major histocompatibility complex variation associated with juvenile survival and parasite resistance in a large unmanaged ungulate population (Ovis aries L.) (437 citations)

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

Kenneth Wilson mainly focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Soay sheep, Host and Immune system. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in PEST analysis and Population ecology. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Population density, Lepidoptera genitalia, Larva and Reproduction.

His Soay sheep research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Statistics, Ovis, Sperm competition and Genetic variation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology, Animal ecology and Virology in addition to Host. His work deals with themes such as Hemolymph, Spodoptera littoralis and Pathogen, which intersect with Immune system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (48.12%)
  • Zoology (26.25%)
  • Soay sheep (15.63%)

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

  • Immune system (12.50%)
  • Fall armyworm (3.12%)
  • Zoology (26.25%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immune system, Fall armyworm, Zoology, Gene and Immunity. His studies deal with areas such as Pathogen, Microbiology and Spodoptera littoralis as well as Immune system. The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Soay sheep, Species diversity and Reproduction.

His Soay sheep study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Negatively associated, Trade-off, Life history, Antibody and Genetic variation. His Reproduction study is related to the wider topic of Ecology. The various areas that Kenneth Wilson examines in his Gene study include Innate immune system and Antimicrobial peptides.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The tethered flight technique as a tool for studying life-history strategies associated with migration in insects. (35 citations)
  • Updated assessment of potential biopesticide options for managing fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Africa (29 citations)
  • Diet modulates the relationship between immune gene expression and functional immune responses. (20 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Gene, Fall armyworm, Zoology, Nuclear gene and Genetically modified maize. His Gene study incorporates themes from Immunology, Immune system and Immunity. His Immunology research includes themes of Host–pathogen interaction, Gene expression, Downregulation and upregulation, Spodoptera littoralis and Drosophila.

His Immunity research integrates issues from Drosophila melanogaster, Innate immune system and Antimicrobial peptides. Kenneth Wilson interconnects Bee pollen, Microbiome and Species diversity in the investigation of issues within Zoology. His Nuclear gene research includes elements of Bacillus thuringiensis, Pesticide, Strain and Genetic structure.
