Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Genetics

Ecology, Species complex, Daphnia, Evolutionary biology and Biodiversity are his primary areas of study. He interconnects Biological dispersal and Introgression in the investigation of issues within Ecology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Isolation by distance, Gene flow, Colonization and Local adaptation.

His studies deal with areas such as Zoology, RAPD and Triops cancriformis as well as Species complex. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Type, Genetics, Biome and Daphnia galeata. His Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Range, Aquatic ecosystem and Species sorting.

His most cited work include:

  • The Monopolization Hypothesis and the dispersal–gene flow paradox in aquatic organisms (610 citations)
  • Cryptic animal species are homogeneously distributed among taxa and biogeographical regions. (447 citations)
  • The power of species sorting: Local factors drive bacterial community composition over a wide range of spatial scales (343 citations)

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

Klaus Schwenk mainly investigates Ecology, Daphnia, Evolutionary biology, Zoology and Species complex. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Isolation by distance, Genetic structure and Biological dispersal. Klaus Schwenk interconnects Phenotypic plasticity, Cladocera, Habitat and Daphnia galeata in the investigation of issues within Daphnia.

The Daphnia galeata study combines topics in areas such as Genetics, Hybrid and Interspecific competition. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular phylogenetics, Gene flow and Introgression as well as Evolutionary biology. He studied Species complex and Taxon that intersect with Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Species richness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (62.96%)
  • Daphnia (32.10%)
  • Evolutionary biology (25.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Ecology (62.96%)
  • Biological dispersal (19.75%)
  • Genetic structure (18.52%)

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

Klaus Schwenk mostly deals with Ecology, Biological dispersal, Genetic structure, Zoology and Ocean acidification. His studies in Biodiversity, Daphnia, Ecosystem, Abiotic component and Predation are all subfields of Ecology research. His work in Daphnia addresses issues such as Daphnia galeata, which are connected to fields such as Population genetics and Hybrid.

His Predation research focuses on Pulex and how it connects with Species complex. His Genetic structure research includes elements of Phylogeography and Endemism. His Zoology research includes themes of Gene pool, Common species, Introgression and Coalescent theory.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assembly mechanisms determining high species turnover in aquatic communities over regional and continental scales (71 citations)
  • Review on environmental alterations propagating from aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems. (46 citations)
  • Divergent clades or cryptic species? Mito-nuclear discordance in a Daphnia species complex (33 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Genetics

Klaus Schwenk mainly investigates Ecology, Biological dispersal, Zoology, Evolutionary biology and Abiotic component. His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Metacommunity. His Biological dispersal study incorporates themes from Species complex, Introgression, Coalescent theory, Gene pool and Common species.

His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mainland, Genetic structure, Endemism, Introduced species and Phylogeography. Klaus Schwenk has included themes like Adaptation, Local adaptation, Reverse ecology and Genetic divergence in his Evolutionary biology study. His Abiotic component research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Niche, Aquatic ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem and Species sorting.
