Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

Ecology, Bicyclus anynana, Zoology, Butterfly and Phenotypic plasticity are his primary areas of study. His research related to Lycaena tityrus, Acclimatization, Ectotherm, Hatchling and Sexual selection might be considered part of Ecology. His study looks at the relationship between Lycaena tityrus and fields such as Animal science, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His research in Bicyclus anynana intersects with topics in Adaptation, Mate choice, Larva and Reproduction. Zoology is often connected to Fecundity in his work. The various areas that Klaus Fischer examines in his Butterfly study include Lepidoptera genitalia, Pupa, Hatching and Interspecific competition.

His most cited work include:

  • PLASTICITY IN BUTTERFLY EGG SIZE: WHY LARGER OFFSPRING AT LOWER TEMPERATURES? (171 citations)
  • Effects of food stress and density in different life stages on reproduction in a butterfly (121 citations)
  • Why get big in the cold? Towards a solution to a life-history puzzle. (108 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Bicyclus anynana, Butterfly, Zoology and Lycaena tityrus. His Longevity research extends to Ecology, which is thematically connected. He combines subjects such as Acclimatization, Botany, Sexual selection and Mate choice, Mating with his study of Bicyclus anynana.

His Butterfly research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adaptation, Biological dispersal, Animal science and Hatchling. His studies deal with areas such as Fecundity, Life history theory, Lepidoptera genitalia and Reproduction as well as Zoology. The Lycaena tityrus study combines topics in areas such as Genetic variation, Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase and Sexual dimorphism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (77.58%)
  • Bicyclus anynana (53.33%)
  • Butterfly (47.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (77.58%)
  • Butterfly (47.88%)
  • Climate change (9.09%)

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

Klaus Fischer mostly deals with Ecology, Butterfly, Climate change, Bicyclus anynana and Zoology. In the subject of general Butterfly, his work in Lycaena tityrus is often linked to Variation, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His studies examine the connections between Climate change and genetics, as well as such issues in Temperate climate, with regards to Ectotherm, Diapause, Hibernation and Overwintering.

His Bicyclus anynana study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Acclimatization and Metabolic pathway. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Fecundity, Sperm and Reproduction. He studied Larva and Oxidative stress that intersect with Phenotypic plasticity.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Heat resistance throughout ontogeny: body size constrains thermal tolerance. (61 citations)
  • Effects of Thermal Regimes, Starvation and Age on Heat Tolerance of the Parthenium Beetle Zygogramma bicolorata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) following Dynamic and Static Protocols. (39 citations)
  • Carried over: Heat stress in the egg stage reduces subsequent performance in a butterfly. (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Butterfly, Climate change, Biodiversity and Biological dispersal. His Lycaena tityrus, Global warming, Hatchling and Habitat investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. Klaus Fischer has included themes like Vulnerable species and Range in his Butterfly study.

His Climate change research includes elements of Temperate climate and Ectotherm. In his study, Effects of global warming, Reproductive success and Acclimatization is inextricably linked to Extreme weather, which falls within the broad field of Biodiversity. His study looks at the relationship between Ontogeny and topics such as Reproduction, which overlap with Bicyclus anynana.
