Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Miguel A. Carretero mainly focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Podarcis, Lacertidae and Habitat. His Lizard, Range, Biogeography, Species distribution and Podarcis muralis investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogenetic Pattern and Mitochondrial DNA in addition to Zoology.

He interconnects Morphometrics, Sexual selection, Species complex, Morphology and Podarcis hispanica in the investigation of issues within Podarcis. His work carried out in the field of Lacertidae brings together such families of science as Herbivore, Trophic level, Food web, Predation and Phylogenetics. The various areas that he examines in his Habitat study include Biodiversity, Cluster analysis, Species richness, Genus and Scale.

His most cited work include:

  • Multivariate and geometric morphometrics in the analysis of sexual dimorphism variation in Podarcis lizards (104 citations)
  • When cryptic diversity blurs the picture: a cautionary tale from Iberian and North African Podarcis wall lizards (88 citations)
  • Complex estimates of evolutionary relationships in Tarentola mauritanica (Reptilia: Gekkonidae) derived from mitochondrial DNA sequences (77 citations)

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

Miguel A. Carretero focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Lizard, Lacertidae and Range. Ecology is represented through his Habitat, Podarcis, Predation, Species distribution and Podarcis muralis research. His Zoology study which covers Phylogenetic tree that intersects with Phylogenetics.

The concepts of his Lizard study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Interspecific competition, Herbivore, Fauna and Thermoregulation. His research integrates issues of Helminths, Subspecies and Squamata in his study of Lacertidae. His Range research incorporates themes from Glacial period, Archipelago, Mediterranean climate, Phylogeography and Biological dispersal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (57.71%)
  • Zoology (37.00%)
  • Lizard (26.43%)

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

  • Lizard (26.43%)
  • Ecology (57.71%)
  • Zoology (37.00%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Lizard, Ecology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology and Podarcis muralis. His research in Lizard intersects with topics in Thermoregulation, Sexual selection and Ecological niche. His studies in Ectotherm, Habitat, Climate change, Sympatry and Introduced species are all subfields of Ecology research.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Parasite load and Body condition. His studies deal with areas such as Range, Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Mitochondrial DNA and Haplotype as well as Evolutionary biology. His Range research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Mediterranean climate, Phylogeography and Archipelago.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes underlie balanced color polymorphisms in the wall lizard. (58 citations)
  • Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards (32 citations)
  • N-mixture models reliably estimate the abundance of small vertebrates. (26 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Lizard, Zoology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Podarcis muralis are his primary areas of study. Miguel A. Carretero combines subjects such as Behavioral ecology, Sexual selection and Space use with his study of Lizard. His study on Zoology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Climate change.

His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Elevation, Preference and Distribution. His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phylogenetic tree, Ecology, Animal ecology, Phylogenetics and Conservation biology. His research investigates the connection between Lacertidae and topics such as Podarcis that intersect with problems in Divergence and Competition.
