What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Symbiogenesis, Evolutionary biology, Symbiosis and Astrobiology.
The various areas that Lynn Margulis examines in his Ecology study include Kingdom, Zoology, Organism, Monera and Phylum.
Lynn Margulis combines subjects such as Genome, Eukaryote and Nucleus, Organelle, Cell biology with his study of Symbiogenesis.
His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Taxon, Paleontology, Calcareous and Fossil Record.
His Symbiosis research includes themes of Genetic algorithm, Classics, Phylogenetics and Plastid.
The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Precambrian, Gas composition and Biosphere.
His most cited work include:
- Symbiosis in cell evolution (1116 citations)
- ORIGIN OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS (1015 citations)
- Atmospheric homeostasis by and for the biosphere: the gaia hypothesis (511 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Lynn Margulis mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Cell biology, Zoology and Botany.
His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phylum, Symbiosis and Symbiogenesis.
His Symbiosis study introduces a deeper knowledge of Bacteria.
To a larger extent, Lynn Margulis studies Genetics with the aim of understanding Symbiogenesis.
His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Microorganism and Microbial mat.
Lynn Margulis has included themes like Spindle apparatus and Stentor coeruleus in his Cell biology study.
He most often published in these fields:

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Environmental ethics, Symbiogenesis and Microbiology.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Paleontology and Phylogenetic tree.
His research investigates the connection with Environmental ethics and areas like Lichen which intersect with concerns in Archaeology.
His Symbiogenesis research is within the category of Genetics.
His research investigates the connection between Microbiology and topics such as Protist that intersect with issues in Ultrastructure, Mastotermes darwiniensis and Bacteria.
His work in Ecology addresses subjects such as Autopoiesis, which are connected to disciplines such as Consciousness.
Between 2001 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Acquiring Genomes: A Theory Of The Origins Of Species (271 citations)
- The last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA): Acquisition of cytoskeletal motility from aerotolerant spirochetes in the Proterozoic Eon (116 citations)
- Symbiogenesis: the holobiont as a unit of evolution. (89 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Symbiogenesis, Microbiology, Zoology, Genealogy and Evolutionary biology.
His Symbiogenesis study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole.
His studies examine the connections between Microbiology and genetics, as well as such issues in Protist, with regards to Ultrastructure, Bacteria and Mastotermes darwiniensis.
His Zoology research incorporates elements of Gene transfer, Metamorphosis, Larva and Affinities.
His Genealogy research incorporates themes from Evolutionism, Variation and Presentation.
