What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Michael A. Brockhurst mainly investigates Experimental evolution, Ecology, Coevolution, Genetics and Host.
His Experimental evolution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Microbiome and Biological evolution.
The various areas that Michael A. Brockhurst examines in his Coevolution study include Antagonistic Coevolution and Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacteria.
His Genetics and Adaptation, Gene, Negative selection, Horizontal gene transfer and Plasmid investigations all form part of his Genetics research activities.
His Adaptation research incorporates elements of Infectivity and Genetic divergence.
His study focuses on the intersection of Host and fields such as Pathogen with connections in the field of Virus host, Virus, Mutation detection and Phylogenetic study.
His most cited work include:
- Antagonistic coevolution accelerates molecular evolution (370 citations)
- Bacteria–phage coevolution as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in microbial communities (337 citations)
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa Evolutionary Adaptation and Diversification in Cystic Fibrosis Chronic Lung Infections (330 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Ecology, Experimental evolution, Evolutionary biology and Plasmid.
His works in Gene, Horizontal gene transfer, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics.
His work on Resistance, Competition and Spatial heterogeneity as part of his general Ecology study is frequently connected to Diversification, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
Experimental evolution is a subfield of Adaptation that Michael A. Brockhurst explores.
While the research belongs to areas of Evolutionary biology, Michael A. Brockhurst spends his time largely on the problem of Symbiosis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Mutualism.
Sympatric speciation is closely connected to Host in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Coevolution.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (46.54%)
- Ecology (35.85%)
- Experimental evolution (33.96%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Genetics (46.54%)
- Plasmid (22.01%)
- Horizontal gene transfer (18.87%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Genetics, Plasmid, Horizontal gene transfer, Gene and Bacterial genome size.
His research investigates the connection between Genetics and topics such as Host resistance that intersect with issues in Temporal heterogeneity, Coevolution and Infectivity.
His Horizontal gene transfer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pseudomonas fluorescens and Mobile genetic elements.
As part of one scientific family, Michael A. Brockhurst deals mainly with the area of Gene, narrowing it down to issues related to the Resistance, and often Abundance.
Michael A. Brockhurst combines subjects such as Adaptation, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Siderophore with his study of Bacterial genome size.
His Experimental evolution research focuses on Evolutionary biology and how it relates to Mutualism, Paramecium bursaria and Chlorella.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Extremely fast amelioration of plasmid fitness costs by multiple functionally diverse pathways. (15 citations)
- Comparison of Independent Evolutionary Origins Reveals Both Convergence and Divergence in the Metabolic Mechanisms of Symbiosis. (4 citations)
- Eco-evolutionary Dynamics Set the Tempo and Trajectory of Metabolic Evolution in Multispecies Communities (2 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Michael A. Brockhurst mainly focuses on Evolutionary biology, Experimental evolution, Symbiosis, Bacterial genome size and Ecological niche.
His study on Evolutionary biology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Local adaptation.
His studies deal with areas such as Epistasis, Host and Adaptive evolution as well as Experimental evolution.
His Bacterial genome size study which covers Replicon that intersects with Adaptation.
His Ecological niche research integrates issues from Character displacement, Natural selection, Competition and Niche.
His Plasmid study deals with Agar plate intersecting with Horizontal gene transfer.
