Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Michael C. Thorndyke mainly investigates Ecology, Ocean acidification, Echinoderm, Sea urchin and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. His Ecology research integrates issues from Zoology and Organism. His study in Ocean acidification is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Marine invertebrates, Marine ecosystem, Ecosystem and Larva.

In his research, Biochemistry, Peptide sequence, Neuropeptide, Anatomy and Regeneration is intimately related to Asterias, which falls under the overarching field of Echinoderm. The study incorporates disciplines such as Extracellular, Respiration, Animal science and Human fertilization in addition to Sea urchin. His Strongylocentrotus purpuratus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Autotomy, Immunology and Coelom.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. (895 citations)
  • Physiological basis for high CO2 tolerance in marine ectothermic animals: pre-adaptation through lifestyle and ontogeny? (513 citations)
  • Deuterostome phylogeny reveals monophyletic chordates and the new phylum Xenoturbellida (429 citations)

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

Michael C. Thorndyke mostly deals with Anatomy, Ecology, Regeneration, Echinoderm and Neuropeptide. Michael C. Thorndyke combines subjects such as Immunocytochemistry, Asterias, Starfish and Nervous system with his study of Anatomy. Ecology is represented through his Ocean acidification, Marine invertebrates, Larva, Adaptation and Benthic zone research.

His work carried out in the field of Ocean acidification brings together such families of science as Sea urchin and Marine ecosystem, Ecosystem. His Echinoderm research includes elements of Zoology, Hox gene, Coelom and Deuterostome. Michael C. Thorndyke interconnects Cholecystokinin and Endocrinology in the investigation of issues within Neuropeptide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (26.44%)
  • Ecology (17.82%)
  • Regeneration (17.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Ecology (17.82%)
  • Ocean acidification (12.64%)
  • Echinoderm (17.24%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Ocean acidification, Echinoderm, Anatomy and Regeneration. His work deals with themes such as Sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus and Marine ecosystem, which intersect with Ocean acidification. His studies deal with areas such as Zoology, Respiration, Animal science and Human fertilization as well as Sea urchin.

His Anatomy study incorporates themes from Morphogenesis, Nervous system, Deuterostome and Cell biology. The Regeneration study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Wound healing, Genome, Asexual reproduction and Brittle star. His research investigates the connection between Marine invertebrates and topics such as Extracellular that intersect with issues in Ontogeny, Crustacean and Ectotherm.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Physiological basis for high CO2 tolerance in marine ectothermic animals: pre-adaptation through lifestyle and ontogeny? (513 citations)
  • Impact of near-future ocean acidification on echinoderms. (313 citations)
  • Near-future level of CO2-driven ocean acidification radically affects larval survival and development in the brittlestar Ophiothrix fragilis (275 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Ocean acidification, Ecology, Sea urchin, Marine invertebrates and Seawater are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Extracellular, Larva, Echinoderm, Ecosystem and Benthic zone. His studies in Extracellular integrate themes in fields like Adaptation, Ontogeny, Crustacean and Ectotherm.

His study ties his expertise on Organism together with the subject of Ecology. His research in Sea urchin intersects with topics in Zoology, Respiration and Human fertilization. The concepts of his Seawater study are interwoven with issues in Biophysics, Intracellular pH, Intracellular and Bicarbonate.
