What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Natural selection, Heritability and Offspring.
His work deals with themes such as Zoology and Population density, which intersect with Ecology.
His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Univariate, Population genetics, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic variation and Genetic load.
His study looks at the relationship between Natural selection and fields such as Adaptation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
In his research, Environmental change is intimately related to Phenotypic trait, which falls under the overarching field of Heritability.
His research in Offspring intersects with topics in Fecundity, Juvenile, Sex ratio and Reproduction.
