What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
Her primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Lizard, Zoology, Predation and Habitat.
Her Ecology study frequently links to other fields, such as Reproductive success.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Niche, Natural selection, Cladogenesis and Scleroglossa.
The Zoology study which covers Anatomy that intersects with Body size, Iguanid lizard and Broad-headed skink.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Seasonal breeder and Life history in addition to Predation.
Her research in Habitat intersects with topics in Bird egg, Ecology, Oviparity and Morphology.
Her most cited work include:
- Herpetology: An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles (759 citations)
- Declining Amphibian Populations: The Problem of Separating Human Impacts from Natural Fluctuations (639 citations)
- Why tropical forest lizards are vulnerable to climate warming (589 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Ecology, Lizard, Zoology, Predation and Habitat.
Her study in Ecology focuses on Sauria, Squamata, Amazon rainforest, Ecology and Reproduction.
Her study in Sauria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gymnophthalmidae and Eumeces.
Laurie J. Vitt has included themes like Rainforest, Niche, Avian clutch size and Sexual dimorphism in her Lizard study.
The concepts of her Predation study are interwoven with issues in Foraging, Sympatric speciation, Arboreal locomotion and Plant litter.
Her Habitat research incorporates elements of Tropidurus and Amazonian.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (75.28%)
- Lizard (37.27%)
- Zoology (28.78%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Lizard, Squamata and Taxon.
Her research on Ecology often connects related topics like Helminths.
Her work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Larva and Monophyly.
Her Lizard research includes themes of Avian clutch size, Reproductive period, Reproduction, Biome and Body size.
She interconnects Diet composition, Polychrus acutirostris, Amazonian, Teiidae and Ecosystem in the investigation of issues within Squamata.
She combines subjects such as Range, Clade, Species distribution and Molecular phylogenetics with her study of Taxon.
Between 2010 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- The phylogeny of advanced snakes (Colubroidea), with discovery of a new subfamily and comparison of support methods for likelihood trees. (231 citations)
- Coming to America: multiple origins of New World geckos. (168 citations)
- A new genus of miniaturized and pug-nosed gecko from South America (Sphaerodactylidae: Gekkota) (36 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Laurie J. Vitt mostly deals with Ecology, Clade, Taxon, Molecular phylogenetics and Zoology.
Her work on Biogeography as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Biological sciences, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Her Clade study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lamprophiidae, Avian clutch size, Genus and Temperate climate.
The various areas that Laurie J. Vitt examines in her Taxon study include Range, Allopatric speciation, Species distribution and Gonatodes.
Her Molecular phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Iguanidae, Lineage, Polyphyly, Systematics and Coleodactylus.
The Anolis study combines topics in areas such as Mesocestoides, Helminths, Larva and Sauria.
