Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

Lawrence E. Gilbert mainly investigates Ecology, Heliconius, Zoology, Butterfly and Genetics. His biological study focuses on Heliconius melpomene. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Pollen, Biological pest control and Parasitism.

He interconnects Biological dispersal, Herbivore, Coevolution and Race in the investigation of issues within Butterfly. His Genetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology and Natural selection. His studies deal with areas such as Parasitoid, Pupa and Larva as well as Phoridae.

His most cited work include:

  • Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species (875 citations)
  • Male contribution to egg production in butterflies: evidence for transfer of nutrients at mating. (428 citations)
  • Coevolution of Animals and Plants. (352 citations)

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

Lawrence E. Gilbert mostly deals with Ecology, Phoridae, Hymenoptera, Heliconius and Parasitoid. In his research on the topic of Ecology, Larva is strongly related with Zoology. His research investigates the link between Phoridae and topics such as Biological pest control that cross with problems in Host specificity.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology, Pollen and Nymphalidae in addition to Heliconius. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Mimicry, Butterfly and Population genetics. His Parasitoid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Foraging, Competition and Pupa.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (59.42%)
  • Phoridae (28.99%)
  • Hymenoptera (29.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Ecology (59.42%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.32%)
  • Fire ant (17.39%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Fire ant, Phoridae and Parasitoid. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chloroplast DNA, Papilio appalachiensis, Papilio glaucus, Genetic Speciation and Heliconius. The subject of his Heliconius research is within the realm of Mimicry.

Lawrence E. Gilbert has included themes like Crematogaster and Venom in his Fire ant study. His work investigates the relationship between Phoridae and topics such as Red imported fire ant that intersect with problems in Foraging. Sex pheromone, Sexual selection, Sexual conflict, Mating system and Pheromone is closely connected to Competition in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Parasitoid.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species (875 citations)
  • Sex chromosome mosaicism and hybrid speciation among tiger swallowtail butterflies. (77 citations)
  • Multiple recent co-options of Optix associated with novel traits in adaptive butterfly wing radiations (65 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Botany

Lawrence E. Gilbert spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Invasive species, Introduced species and Heliconius. He has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Chloroplast DNA, Glaucus and Passiflora, Passifloraceae. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Clade and Sex pheromone.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Abundance, Fire ant and Habitat. His specific area of interest is Heliconius, where Lawrence E. Gilbert studies Heliconius melpomene. The Heliconius melpomene study combines topics in areas such as Synteny and Genomics.
