What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Genus
- Ecology
- Paleontology
His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Anatomy, Heterochrony, Marsupial and Ossification.
His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Placentalia, Phylogenetics, Clade, Phylogenetic tree and Postcrania.
The various areas that he examines in his Anatomy study include Pleurodira and Trionychidae.
His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Emydura subglobosa, Chelidae, Vertebrate and Forelimb in his study of Heterochrony.
His work carried out in the field of Marsupial brings together such families of science as Sister group and Mastication.
His Ossification study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Postorbital bone, Skull, Axial skeleton, Quadrate bone and Autapomorphy.
His most cited work include:
- Homeotic effects, somitogenesis and the evolution of vertebral numbers in recent and fossil amniotes (135 citations)
- Species inflation and taxonomic artefacts—A critical comment on recent trends in mammalian classification (130 citations)
- A morphological analysis of marsupial mammal higher-level phylogenetic relationships (109 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra spends much of his time researching Zoology, Anatomy, Paleontology, Evolutionary biology and Skull.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Heterochrony, Domestication and Clade, Phylogenetic tree.
His Heterochrony study incorporates themes from Developmental biology and Forelimb.
His work on Ontogeny expands to the thematically related Anatomy.
Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra regularly links together related areas like Ecology in his Paleontology studies.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vertebrate and Morphology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Zoology (31.60%)
- Anatomy (25.60%)
- Paleontology (22.00%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Zoology, Domestication, Evolutionary biology, Skull and Paleontology.
Zoology is frequently linked to Ancient DNA in his study.
Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra interconnects Phylogenetics, Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Longevity and Morphological variation in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.
His Skull research includes themes of Heterochrony, Ontogeny and Morphology.
In the subject of general Paleontology, his work in Late Miocene and Neogene is often linked to Ariidae, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Ossification study is concerned with the field of Anatomy as a whole.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The taming of the neural crest: a developmental perspective on the origins of morphological covariation in domesticated mammals (90 citations)
- Open data and digital morphology (72 citations)
