What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Climate change
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Ordovician, Sedimentary depositional environment, Facies and Ecology.
His Subaerial and Coastal plain study, which is part of a larger body of work in Paleontology, is frequently linked to Extinction event, Lithification and Recovery period, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Ordovician research includes themes of Glacial period, Climatology and Mineralogy.
His Sedimentary depositional environment research includes elements of Orogeny and Anoxic waters.
His research integrates issues of Range, Marine transgression and Unconformity in his study of Facies.
His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as δ13C and Atmospheric sciences.
His most cited work include:
- Models for simulating the fossil record (61 citations)
- The impact of lithification on the diversity, size distribution, and recovery dynamics of marine invertebrate assemblages (58 citations)
- Molecular indicators of redox and marine photoautotroph composition in the late Middle Ordovician of Iowa, U.S.A. (55 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Paleontology, Ordovician, Extinction event, Ecology and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study.
His study on Facies, Sedimentary depositional environment, Permian and Ordovician radiation is often connected to Stratigraphy as part of broader study in Paleontology.
Mark E. Patzkowsky combines subjects such as Range, Dolomite and Unconformity with his study of Facies.
The various areas that Mark E. Patzkowsky examines in his Ordovician study include Niche, Biodiversity, Glacial period and Orogeny.
Mark E. Patzkowsky usually deals with Ecology and limits it to topics linked to Paleozoic and Ice age and Geologic time scale.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Species richness, Marine ecosystem are connected with Coastal plain, Habitat and Oceanography and other disciplines.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (56.36%)
- Ordovician (34.55%)
- Extinction event (32.73%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ordovician (34.55%)
- Extinction event (32.73%)
- Paleontology (56.36%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Mark E. Patzkowsky spends much of his time researching Ordovician, Extinction event, Paleontology, Evolutionary biology and Ecology.
Mark E. Patzkowsky has researched Ordovician in several fields, including Devonian, Phanerozoic and Biogeography.
Mark E. Patzkowsky undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Extinction event and Ecosystem through his research.
His Paleontology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Biological pump.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Strophomenida and Paleozoic in addition to Evolutionary biology.
His work in the fields of Morphometrics overlaps with other areas such as Survivorship curve and Diversification.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Effects of mass extinction and recovery dynamics on long-term evolutionary trends: A morphological study of Strophomenida (Brachiopoda) across the Late Ordovician mass extinction (6 citations)
- Evolutionary and biogeographical shifts in response to the Late Ordovician mass extinction (4 citations)
- Does evolutionary relatedness predict ecological similarity (1 citations)
