Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Ecology, Population size, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Population genetics. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biological dispersal and Extinction. His Genetics research includes themes of Effective population size, Microsatellite, European population, Prehistory and Gene flow.

Lounès Chikhi has researched Effective population size in several fields, including Sampling, Statistics and Markov chain Monte Carlo. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Common disease-common variant, Diversity and Middle East. His Population genetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Econometrics and Panmixia.

His most cited work include:

  • GENETIX 4.05, logiciel sous Windows TM pour la génétique des populations. Laboratoire Génome, Populations, Interactions (1583 citations)
  • GENETIX 4.05, logiciel sous Windows TM pour la génétique des populations. (1552 citations)
  • Genetix v. 3.0, logiciel sous Windows TM pour la génétique des populations. Laboratoire Génome et Populations, CNRS UPR 9060, Université Montpellier 2, Montpellier. (675 citations)

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

Lounès Chikhi focuses on Ecology, Population genetics, Population size, Lemur and Evolutionary biology. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Genetic diversity. His Population genetics study which covers Spurious relationship that intersects with Statistical inference.

His Population size research integrates issues from Population density, Effective population size, Statistics, Demographic history and Population structure. His Lemur research incorporates elements of Biodiversity and Threatened species. His work focuses on many connections between Evolutionary biology and other disciplines, such as Genetics, that overlap with his field of interest in Microsatellite and Genotyping.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (77.63%)
  • Population genetics (44.29%)
  • Population size (41.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (41.10%)
  • Lemur (40.18%)
  • Ecology (77.63%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Lemur, Ecology, Gene flow and Species complex. Sifaka is the focus of his Lemur research. Habitat destruction, IUCN Red List, Endangered species, Biodiversity and Wildlife are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.

The concepts of his Habitat destruction study are interwoven with issues in Habitat fragmentation, Biological dispersal and Genetic structure, Genetic diversity. His Gene flow research includes elements of Statistics, Population size and Demographic history. His research in Demographic history intersects with topics in Sample size determination, Identifiability, Population genetics and Joint probability distribution.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond multiregional and simple out-of-Africa models of human evolution (23 citations)
  • Beyond multiregional and simple out-of-Africa models of human evolution (23 citations)
  • The genetic structure of a mouse lemur living in a fragmented habitat in Northern Madagascar (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Biological evolution, Simple, Metapopulation and Human evolution. His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Reproductive isolation and Lemur, Mouse lemur. In his research, Lounès Chikhi performs multidisciplinary study on Biological evolution and Out of africa.
