Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Genetic variation and Captive breeding. As a member of one scientific family, Michael S. Blouin mostly works in the field of Evolutionary biology, focusing on Population genetics and, on occasion, Genetic algorithm, Genetic structure and Population biology. His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Metagenomics, Phylogenetic diversity and Heritability.

His work on Gene flow as part of general Genetic variation research is frequently linked to Selective maintenance, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Gene flow research includes elements of Effective population size and Biological dispersal. His Captive breeding research incorporates a variety of disciplines, including Captivity, Domestication, Hatchery, Reproductive success and Zoology.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic Effects of Captive Breeding Cause a Rapid, Cumulative Fitness Decline in the Wild (648 citations)
  • DNA-based methods for pedigree reconstruction and kinship analysis in natural populations (555 citations)
  • Fitness of hatchery-reared salmonids in the wild (401 citations)

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

Michael S. Blouin mainly investigates Genetics, Zoology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Hatchery. Allele, Genetic variation, Genetic structure, Mitochondrial DNA and Microsatellite are the subjects of his Genetics studies. Michael S. Blouin interconnects Larva, Metamorphosis and Snail in the investigation of issues within Zoology.

The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Effective population size and Heritability. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Range, Phylogenetic tree, Ecology, Phylogenetics and Mating system. His Hatchery study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Captivity, Broodstock, Rainbow trout, Fishery and Reproductive success.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (34.21%)
  • Zoology (32.46%)
  • Ecology (28.07%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Biomphalaria glabrata (15.79%)
  • Snail (12.28%)
  • Zoology (32.46%)

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

Michael S. Blouin spends much of his time researching Biomphalaria glabrata, Snail, Zoology, Schistosoma mansoni and Gene. Michael S. Blouin incorporates a variety of subjects into his writings, including Biomphalaria glabrata, Genotype, Genetics and Immune system. Particularly relevant to Microsatellite is his body of work in Genetics.

His Snail research integrates issues from Pathogen, Microbiology, Hydrogen peroxide and Immunity. His work deals with themes such as Ecology, Freshwater snail, Genome, Hatchery and Development of the gonads, which intersect with Zoology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Captivity, Juvenile, Fish measurement, Brood and Adaptation in addition to Hatchery.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Whole genome analysis of a schistosomiasis-transmitting freshwater snail. (134 citations)
  • Schistosome infectivity in the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, is partially dependent on the expression of Grctm6, a Guadeloupe Resistance Complex protein. (34 citations)
  • Life history variation is maintained by fitness trade-offs and negative frequency-dependent selection. (25 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Biomphalaria glabrata, Snail, Schistosoma mansoni, Ecology and Zoology. Among his Biomphalaria glabrata studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as Allele and Genotype. His Allele study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics.

His work on Biomphalaria as part of general Schistosoma mansoni study is frequently linked to Global health, Pathogen, Microbiology and Infectivity, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Hemolymph and Larva research Michael S. Blouin does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Schistosoma and Neglected tropical diseases, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Genome and Freshwater snail.
