Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Ecology, Biodiversity, Genetics, Environmental DNA and Gene are his primary areas of study. His work in Ecology covers topics such as Genomics which are related to areas like Trophic cascade, Keystone species, Food chain and Ecological stoichiometry. His work on Genetics deals in particular with Gene expression profiling and Genome.

His Environmental DNA study combines topics in areas such as Relative species abundance, Citizen science, Ecology, Species richness and Species diversity. His research on Gene often connects related areas such as Daphnia pulex. His Introduced species study which covers Range that intersects with Genetic variation.

His most cited work include:

  • The ecoresponsive genome of Daphnia pulex (966 citations)
  • The ecoresponsive genome of Daphnia pulex (966 citations)
  • Environmental DNA metabarcoding: transforming how we survey animal and plant communities (492 citations)

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

Michael E. Pfrender mainly investigates Ecology, Genetics, Daphnia, Evolutionary biology and Gene. His Ecology research includes elements of Zoology, Genetic diversity and Genomics. As part of his studies on Genetics, Michael E. Pfrender often connects relevant subjects like Daphnia pulex.

In his research on the topic of Daphnia pulex, Gene duplication and Gene conversion is strongly related with Gene expression profiling. Many of his research projects under Daphnia are closely connected to Stressor with Stressor, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Michael E. Pfrender has included themes like Natural selection, Selection, Reproductive isolation, Local adaptation and Phenotypic plasticity in his Evolutionary biology study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (54.05%)
  • Genetics (27.03%)
  • Daphnia (26.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Ecology (54.05%)
  • Environmental DNA (9.01%)
  • Biodiversity (17.12%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Environmental DNA, Biodiversity, Computational biology and Genomics. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Citizen science and Papilio canadensis. His Environmental DNA research includes elements of Terrestrial plant and Species richness, Beta diversity, Alpha diversity.

Michael E. Pfrender has researched Biodiversity in several fields, including Aquatic ecosystem, Fish species, Bony fish and Electrofishing. His Genomics study incorporates themes from Zoology, Blood meal, Range and Directional selection. His Directional selection research is included under the broader classification of Gene.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of sampling effort on biodiversity patterns estimated from environmental DNA metabarcoding surveys. (51 citations)
  • Molecular Adaptations for Sensing and Securing Prey and Insight into Amniote Genome Diversity from the Garter Snake Genome. (36 citations)
  • Climate-mediated hybrid zone movement revealed with genomics, museum collection, and simulation modeling. (32 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Genomics, Genetics, Genome and Regulation of gene expression. His Ecology research includes themes of Molecular ecology and Species complex. His work deals with themes such as Citizen science and Pieris, Butterfly, which intersect with Genomics.

His research in the fields of Gene, Adaptation and Functional genomics overlaps with other disciplines such as Stressor. He interconnects Methylation, DNA methylation, CpG site, Promoter and Epigenetics in the investigation of issues within Genome. His Regulation of gene expression study combines topics in areas such as Environmental change and Gene regulatory network.
