Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Coalescent theory, Taxon and Genetic variation. His work on Genetic algorithm is typically connected to High rate as part of general Evolutionary biology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene tree and Genetic divergence.

His Coalescent theory research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phylogenomics and Tree of life. His Taxon study combines topics in areas such as Carex and Missing data. His studies deal with areas such as Species distribution and Species diversity as well as Genetic variation.

His most cited work include:

  • Bayesian species delimitation combining multiple genes and traits in a unified framework (114 citations)
  • Toward a paradigm shift in comparative phylogeography driven by trait-based hypotheses. (111 citations)
  • Disentangling the effects of historic vs. contemporary landscape structure on population genetic divergence (103 citations)

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

L. Lacey Knowles spends much of his time researching Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogeography, Coalescent theory and Genetic structure. L. Lacey Knowles has included themes like Biological dispersal and Genetic diversity in his Ecology study. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetic Speciation, Range and Gene flow.

He interconnects Concordance and Climate change in the investigation of issues within Phylogeography. He works mostly in the field of Coalescent theory, limiting it down to concerns involving Approximate Bayesian computation and, occasionally, Niche. His studies deal with areas such as Carex and Species diversity as well as Genetic variation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (57.89%)
  • Evolutionary biology (43.16%)
  • Phylogeography (17.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (43.16%)
  • Ecology (57.89%)
  • Phylogeography (17.89%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Phylogeography, Genetic structure and Biodiversity. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Range and Coalescent theory. L. Lacey Knowles undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Ecology and Freshwater fish in his work.

His research in Phylogeography intersects with topics in Niche, Intraspecific competition, Climate change, Isolation by distance and Genetic variation. As part of the same scientific family, L. Lacey Knowles usually focuses on Genetic structure, concentrating on Gene flow and intersecting with Biological dispersal, Identification and Genetic algorithm. His work on Biodiversity hotspot as part of general Biodiversity study is frequently linked to Quaternary, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Decimated little brown bats show potential for adaptive change. (14 citations)
  • Paraphyletic species no more – genomic data resolve a Pleistocene radiation and validate morphological species of the Melanoplus scudderi complex (Insecta: Orthoptera) (9 citations)
  • Common barriers, but temporal dissonance: Genomic tests suggest ecological and paleo‐landscape sieves structure a coastal riverine fish community (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

His scientific interests lie mostly in Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Pleistocene, Species complex and Adaptation. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Methylation and Genomics. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Biological dispersal and Genetic structure.

His study in Pleistocene intersects with areas of studies such as Genomic data, Paraphyly, Melanoplus scudderi, Orthoptera and Climatic adaptation. His work carried out in the field of Species complex brings together such families of science as Hylidae, Dendropsophus leucophyllatus, Parapatric speciation, Species diversity and Biogeography. His Adaptation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zoology and Refugium.
