What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Genus
- Ecology
Michel Laurin spends much of his time researching Taxon, Phylogenetic tree, Paleontology, Zoology and Clade.
The subject of his Taxon research is within the realm of Ecology.
His research in Phylogenetic tree intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology, Comparative biology, Contrast, Phylogenetics and Mesosaurus.
His studies in Paleontology integrate themes in fields like Phyletic gradualism, Gene and Character.
His research integrates issues of Lissamphibia, Parareptilia, Paleozoic, Dissorophoidea and Procolophonidae in his study of Zoology.
His research in Clade tackles topics such as Anatomy which are related to areas like Mass mortality and Sexual maturity.
His most cited work include:
- A reevaluation of early amniote phylogeny (313 citations)
- The evolution of body size, Cope's rule and the origin of amniotes. (220 citations)
- Fossils, molecules, divergence times, and the origin of lissamphibians. (168 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Michel Laurin focuses on Paleontology, Evolutionary biology, Taxon, Phylogenetic tree and Zoology.
Michel Laurin has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Heterochrony, Apateon, Genome size, Ossification and Data Matrix.
Michel Laurin interconnects Range and Phylogenetic nomenclature, Clade, Polyphyly in the investigation of issues within Taxon.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Skull, Phylogenetics, Inference and Body size in addition to Phylogenetic tree.
Michel Laurin has included themes like Gymnophiona, Lissamphibia, Amniote and Tetrapod in his Zoology study.
As part of one scientific family, Michel Laurin deals mainly with the area of Permian, narrowing it down to issues related to the Anatomy, and often Eusthenopteron.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (34.44%)
- Evolutionary biology (29.44%)
- Taxon (28.89%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Evolutionary biology (29.44%)
- Phylogenetic tree (26.11%)
- Taxon (28.89%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Taxon, Lissamphibia and Phylogenetics.
His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Data Matrix, Genome size and Human genetics.
His Phylogenetic tree research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Anatomy, Vascular supply, Divergence and Extinction.
The Taxon study combines topics in areas such as Zoology, Genus, Inference and Monophyly.
He combines subjects such as Temnospondyli and Paleontology, Fossil Record with his study of Lissamphibia.
His study on Macroevolution and Parareptilia is often connected to Position as part of broader study in Phylogenetics.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Phylogeny of Paleozoic limbed vertebrates reassessed through revision and expansion of the largest published relevant data matrix. (35 citations)
- Impact of errors on cladistic inference: simulation-based comparison between parsimony and three-taxon analysis (12 citations)
- Was Mesosaurus a Fully Aquatic Reptile (11 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Genus
- Ecology
Michel Laurin mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Extinction, Taxon and Phylogenetics.
His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Lissamphibia, Lepospondyli, Brachydectes, Seymouriamorpha and Lysorophia.
The various areas that Michel Laurin examines in his Phylogenetic tree study include Probability distribution and Anatomy, Vascular supply.
Michel Laurin focuses mostly in the field of Extinction, narrowing it down to topics relating to Cladogenesis and, in certain cases, Paleontology and Statistics.
In Taxon, he works on issues like Series, which are connected to Macroevolution.
His Parareptilia study, which is part of a larger body of work in Phylogenetics, is frequently linked to Position, bridging the gap between disciplines.
