Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Bacteria

Amphibian, Antimicrobial peptides, Ecology, Fungus and Pathogen are her primary areas of study. Her work on Chytridiomycosis as part of general Amphibian research is frequently linked to Environmental pollution, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her study focuses on the intersection of Antimicrobial peptides and fields such as Zoology with connections in the field of Innate immune system and Litoria chloris.

Many of her research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Zoospore with Zoospore, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her research investigates the connection between Fungus and topics such as Microbiology that intersect with problems in Lymphocyte proliferation. The concepts of her Pathogen study are interwoven with issues in Threatened species, Captivity, Vertebrate and Tree frog.

Her most cited work include:

  • Amphibian declines: an immunological perspective. (412 citations)
  • Resistance to chytridiomycosis varies among amphibian species and is correlated with skin peptide defenses (246 citations)
  • Metamorphosis and the amphibian immune system (216 citations)

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

Louise A. Rollins-Smith mainly focuses on Amphibian, Chytridiomycosis, Antimicrobial peptides, Ecology and Microbiology. Her Amphibian research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Pathogen, Immune system, Host and Fungus. Her Chytridiomycosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Panzootic and Emerging infectious disease.

Her Antimicrobial peptides research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Innate immune system, Virology, Lithobates pipiens and Lithobates. She combines subjects such as Disease and Outbreak with her study of Ecology. Her Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transmission, Mucus, Peptide and Bacteria.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Amphibian (50.00%)
  • Chytridiomycosis (38.46%)
  • Antimicrobial peptides (33.08%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Amphibian (50.00%)
  • Chytridiomycosis (38.46%)
  • Zoology (25.38%)

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

Louise A. Rollins-Smith mainly investigates Amphibian, Chytridiomycosis, Zoology, Ecology and Antimicrobial peptides. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pathogen, Immunity, Host, Disease and Fungus. Her Chytridiomycosis research integrates issues from Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Prawn, Pelophylax, Tadpole and Discoglossus.

Her Zoology research incorporates elements of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, Biodiversity and Leopard frog. In the subject of general Ecology, her work in Phenotypic plasticity, Metamorphosis and Larva is often linked to Developmental plasticity, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Her Antimicrobial peptides study contributes to a more complete understanding of Microbiology.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Amphibian immunity-stress, disease, and climate change. (73 citations)
  • Shifts in disease dynamics in a tropical amphibian assemblage are not due to pathogen attenuation. (63 citations)
  • Toxins and pharmacologically active compounds from species of the family Bufonidae (Amphibia, Anura). (33 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Bacteria

Louise A. Rollins-Smith focuses on Amphibian, Ecology, Disease, Chytridiomycosis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans. Louise A. Rollins-Smith incorporates Amphibian and Pandemic in her research. Her Ecology study frequently links to other fields, such as Microbiome.

The various areas that she examines in her Disease study include Zoology, Biodiversity and Panzootic. Her work carried out in the field of Chytridiomycosis brings together such families of science as Pelophylax, Critically endangered, Threatened species, Discoglossus and Ectotherm. Her Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research includes themes of Acquired immune system, Vertebrate, Ranavirus and Immunity.
