Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Habitat

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Phylogenetic tree, Biodiversity, Genetic diversity and Wood thrush. His Ecology research includes themes of Phylogeography and Biological dispersal. In his study, Metagenomics and Genome is strongly linked to Phylogenetics, which falls under the umbrella field of Phylogenetic tree.

His work carried out in the field of Biodiversity brings together such families of science as Taxonomy, Natural history and Applied research. His Genetic diversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Standard error, Allele, Loss of heterozygosity and Melospiza. In Taxon, he works on issues like Biogeography, which are connected to Species complex, Taxonomic rank, Species diversity and Extinction.

His most cited work include:

  • Cryptic species as a window on diversity and conservation (2117 citations)
  • Evidence and implications of recent climate change in northern Alaska and other arctic regions. (1128 citations)
  • More than 1000 ultraconserved elements provide evidence that turtles are the sister group of archosaurs (264 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Subspecies, Evolutionary biology, Zoology and Population genetics. His work in Ecology addresses issues such as Biological dispersal, which are connected to fields such as Phylogeography. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Allopatric speciation, Mitochondrial DNA, Melospiza and Gene flow, Genetic variation.

As part of his studies on Zoology, Kevin Winker often connects relevant subjects like Taxon. Kevin Winker has included themes like Genetic structure and Coalescent theory in his Population genetics study. His work deals with themes such as Taxonomy, Species richness, Genetic diversity and Biogeography, which intersect with Biodiversity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (46.86%)
  • Subspecies (19.43%)
  • Evolutionary biology (17.71%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (17.71%)
  • Subspecies (19.43%)
  • Ecology (46.86%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Subspecies, Ecology, Gene flow and Population genomics. His study explores the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Junco hyemalis that cross with problems in Whole genome sequencing and Sparrow. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Subspecies, concentrating on Threatened species and frequently concerns with Archipelago and Conservation genetics.

Ecology overlaps with fields such as Taxonomy and Scale effects in his research. The concepts of his Gene flow study are interwoven with issues in Taxon, Genetic drift, Allopatric speciation and Aegolius. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Population genomics, concentrating on Locus and intersecting with Sample size determination and Genomics.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phylogenetic Placement of Exact Amplicon Sequences Improves Associations with Clinical Information (123 citations)
  • Adapterama I: universal stubs and primers for 384 unique dual-indexed or 147,456 combinatorially-indexed Illumina libraries (iTru & iNext) (70 citations)
  • Comparative Analyses of Vertebrate Gut Microbiomes Reveal Convergence between Birds and Bats (44 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Habitat

Kevin Winker spends much of his time researching Phylogenetics, DNA sequencing, Computational biology, Amplicon and Gene flow. His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Adaptation, Vertebrate, Host and Microbiome. His DNA sequencing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Replicate and Adapter.

His study in Gene flow is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Effective population size, Population genomics, Genomics and Allele frequency. His biological study deals with issues like Sympatry, which deal with fields such as Phylogenetic tree. His research in Phylogenetic tree intersects with topics in Metagenomics, Sequence and Heteropatric speciation.
