Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Zoology, Primate and Androgen. He frequently studies issues relating to Feces and Internal medicine. The study incorporates disciplines such as Marmoset, Sexual selection and Macaque in addition to Endocrinology.

His Zoology research includes themes of Ecology and Reproductive success. He usually deals with Primate and limits it to topics linked to Fertility and Captivity and Estrogen. His Ovulation research incorporates elements of Sexual swelling and Physiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparative aspects of the metabolism and excretion of cortisol in three individual nonhuman primates. (214 citations)
  • Female sexual swelling size, timing of ovulation and male behavior in wild West African chimpanzees (186 citations)
  • Comparison of different enzymeimmunoassays for assessment of adrenocortical activity in primates based on fecal analysis (171 citations)

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

Michael Heistermann focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Zoology, Physiology and Ecology. His work investigates the relationship between Endocrinology and topics such as Feces that intersect with problems in Metabolite. As a part of the same scientific family, Michael Heistermann mostly works in the field of Zoology, focusing on Primate and, on occasion, Developmental psychology.

The concepts of his Physiology study are interwoven with issues in Offspring, Pregnancy, Ovulation and Captivity. The various areas that he examines in his Ovulation study include Sexual swelling and Menstrual cycle. His work is dedicated to discovering how Ecology, Aggression are connected with Competition and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (38.42%)
  • Internal medicine (38.42%)
  • Zoology (29.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Zoology (29.56%)
  • Hormone (12.81%)
  • Ecology (20.69%)

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

Michael Heistermann mainly investigates Zoology, Hormone, Ecology, Physiology and Habitat. His research integrates issues of Dominance and Energetics in his study of Zoology. His Hormone research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Urinary system, Feces and Glucocorticoid.

Michael Heistermann combines subjects such as Basal metabolic rate, Endocrinology, Triiodothyronine and Morning with his study of Feces. His Physiology course of study focuses on Offspring and Competition. His Endocrine system study is concerned with the larger field of Internal medicine.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Are human-dominated landscapes stressful for wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)? (11 citations)
  • The development of individual differences in cooperative behaviour: Maternal glucocorticoid hormones alter helping behaviour of offspring in wild meerkats (10 citations)
  • Cost of dispersal in a social mammal: body mass loss and increased stress. (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

Michael Heistermann spends much of his time researching Ecology, Life history, Physiology, Offspring and Habitat. His work on Troglodytes as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Livelihood, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Life history research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mammal, Biological dispersal and Energy balance.

His Physiology research integrates issues from Radioimmunoassay, Maternal stress and Glucocorticoid. His Offspring study combines topics in areas such as Metabolite, Hormone, Corticosterone, Immunoassay and Gelada. His work deals with themes such as Range, Propithecus, Lemur, Animal ecology and Sociality, which intersect with Habitat.
