1980 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Endocrinology

Martin L. Morton mostly deals with Ecology, Zoology, Montane ecology, Reproduction and Zonotrichia leucophrys. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Forestry and Biological dispersal. His Zoology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Reproductive physiology.

His Montane ecology research includes themes of Amandava amandava and Sparrow, Melospiza lincolnii. His Reproduction study incorporates themes from Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha, Emberizidae and Hatching. His studies in Zonotrichia leucophrys integrate themes in fields like Mammalogy, Assortative mating and Environmental protection.

His most cited work include:

  • Demography of Belding's ground squirrels (174 citations)
  • Extra-pair fertilizations in mountain white-crowned sparrows (125 citations)
  • Hatching asynchrony in the mountain white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha): a selected or incidental trait? (110 citations)

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

Martin L. Morton mainly focuses on Ecology, Zoology, White, Animal science and Zonotrichia leucophrys. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Morning and Biological dispersal. His work deals with themes such as Habitat and Sex ratio, which intersect with Biological dispersal.

His study looks at the intersection of Zoology and topics like Juvenile with Body size. His work carried out in the field of Animal science brings together such families of science as Locomotor activity, Body weight, Blood proteins and Total body. His Zonotrichia leucophrys study also includes

  • Fledge most often made with reference to Emberizidae,
  • Paternal care which is related to area like Sexual selection and Seasonal breeder.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (48.72%)
  • Zoology (43.59%)
  • White (20.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2018)?

  • Ecology (48.72%)
  • Zonotrichia leucophrys (16.67%)
  • Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha (12.82%)

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

Martin L. Morton focuses on Ecology, Zonotrichia leucophrys, Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha, Seasonal breeder and Fledge. His research brings together the fields of Animal science and Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Juvenile and Biological dispersal in addition to Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha.

His Seasonal breeder research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology, Reproduction, Development of the gonads and Luteinizing hormone. His Luteinizing hormone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Subspecies, Secretion, Thyroid, photoperiodism and Corticosterone. His work investigates the relationship between Fledge and topics such as Emberizidae that intersect with problems in Paternal care, Sparrow, Altricial and Basal metabolic rate.

Between 1997 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of temperature on photoperiodically induced reproductive development, circulating plasma luteinizing hormone and thyroid hormones, body mass, fat deposition and molt in mountain white-crowned sparrows, Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha. (105 citations)
  • Stimulatory effects on the reproductive axis in female songbirds by conspecific and heterospecific male song. (83 citations)
  • Effects of ambient temperature on photo-induced prolactin secretion in three subspecies of white-crowned sparrow, Zonotrichia leucophrys. (71 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Endocrinology

Martin L. Morton focuses on Luteinizing hormone, Development of the gonads, Seasonal breeder, Endocrinology and Specific function. He interconnects Subspecies, Secretion, Prolactin, photoperiodism and Zonotrichia leucophrys in the investigation of issues within Luteinizing hormone. The various areas that Martin L. Morton examines in his Development of the gonads study include Brood patch, Hormone, Corticosterone, Endocrine system and Thyroid.

Martin L. Morton integrates many fields in his works, including Specific function, Reproductive physiology, Communication, Courtship and Zoology.
