Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Natural selection

His primary scientific interests are in Euphydryas, Ecology, Butterfly, Host and Editha. His Euphydryas research incorporates themes from Metapopulation and Extinction. His research integrates issues of Host plants and Ecology in his study of Extinction.

His work carried out in the field of Host brings together such families of science as Insect and Natural selection. His Insect research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Conservation biology, Larva and Habitat. His Editha research integrates issues from Biological dispersal, Food plant and Habitat suitability.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetics and the Evolution of Muellerian Mimicry in Heliconius Butterflies (241 citations)
  • Rapid human-induced evolution of insect-host associations (231 citations)
  • HERITABILITY OF OVIPOSITION PREFERENCE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO OFFSPRING PERFORMANCE WITHIN A SINGLE INSECT POPULATION. (228 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Euphydryas, Butterfly, Host and Editha. His work on Nymphalidae as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Preference, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies in Euphydryas integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology, Natural selection, Gene flow and Host plants.

His Butterfly study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lepidoptera genitalia, Biological dispersal, Larva and Habitat. The concepts of his Host study are interwoven with issues in Insect, Genetic variation, Herbivore and Local adaptation. Michael C. Singer combines subjects such as Chaparral, Foraging and Grassland with his study of Editha.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (98.55%)
  • Euphydryas (65.22%)
  • Butterfly (57.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2013)?

  • Ecology (98.55%)
  • Euphydryas (65.22%)
  • Reproductive isolation (8.70%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Euphydryas, Reproductive isolation, Evolutionary biology and Gene flow. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Isolation by distance that intersect with issues in Nymphalidae and Effective population size. His Euphydryas research is classified as research in Butterfly.

His work deals with themes such as Polymorphic Microsatellite Marker and Genetics, which intersect with Gene flow. The Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Winter moth, Operophtera, Extinction, Edith's checkerspot and Metapopulation. His study in Host is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Larinus, Weevil, Ecological speciation and Local adaptation.

Between 2007 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Phenological asynchrony between herbivorous insects and their hosts: signal of climate change or pre-existing adaptive strategy? (193 citations)
  • Beyond climate change attribution in conservation and ecological research (140 citations)
  • COMMENTARY: Overstretching attribution (101 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Extinction

Michael C. Singer spends much of his time researching Ecology, Greenhouse gas, Euphydryas, Climate change and Attribution. Michael C. Singer is involved in the study of Ecology that focuses on Animal ecology in particular. His Greenhouse gas research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Global warming, Sustainability and systemic change resistance, Effects of global warming and Ecological forecasting.

His studies in Euphydryas integrate themes in fields like Winter moth, Operophtera, Extinction, Edith's checkerspot and Metapopulation. Climate change is represented through his Climate commitment and Political economy of climate change research. He integrates Attribution with Natural resource economics in his study.
