Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Clade, Biodiversity and Evolutionary biology. Miguel Vences interconnects Biological dispersal and Vicariance in the investigation of issues within Ecology. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Sister group, Phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree and Monophyly.

His Phylogenetic tree research incorporates themes from Mantella, Genus, Nuclear gene and Hylidae. His Biodiversity research includes elements of IUCN Red List, Amphibian and Species diversity. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Species complex, Range, Allopatric speciation and Mantellidae.

His most cited work include:

  • The integrative future of taxonomy (943 citations)
  • The conservation status of the world's reptiles (490 citations)
  • A field guide to the amphibians and reptiles of Madagascar (484 citations)

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

Miguel Vences focuses on Zoology, Ecology, Genus, Mantellidae and Phylogenetic tree. Within one scientific family, Miguel Vences focuses on topics pertaining to Monophyly under Zoology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Paraphyly. His Amphibian, Rainforest, Biogeography, Biodiversity and Endemism investigations are all subjects of Ecology research.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon, Systematics, Cophylinae and Tadpole. His study in Mantellidae is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mantella, Larva and DNA barcoding. His study in Evolutionary biology extends to Phylogenetic tree with its themes.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (50.61%)
  • Ecology (47.64%)
  • Genus (21.19%)

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

  • Zoology (50.61%)
  • Ecology (47.64%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.78%)

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

His main research concerns Zoology, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Taxonomy and Amphibian. His Zoology study which covers Predation that intersects with Plant litter. His work in Ecology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Biological dispersal.

The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Clade, Phylogenetic tree, Mitochondrial DNA, Monophyly and Gene. His Taxonomy research includes themes of Taxon, Gekkonidae and Gecko. The Amphibian study which covers Microbiome that intersects with Species richness.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The use of bioacoustics in anuran taxonomy: theory, terminology, methods and recommendations for best practice (163 citations)
  • Phylotranscriptomic consolidation of the jawed vertebrate timetree. (115 citations)
  • Prodigiosin, Violacein, and Volatile Organic Compounds Produced by Widespread Cutaneous Bacteria of Amphibians Can Inhibit Two Batrachochytrium Fungal Pathogens. (40 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Zoology, Amphibian, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. Miguel Vences has researched Ecology in several fields, including Biological dispersal and Species complex. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Taxon and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Microbiome and Community structure in addition to Amphibian. His studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like Hybrid zone, Genetic diversity, Macroevolution, Mitochondrial DNA and Biogeography. His Phylogenetic tree study incorporates themes from Niche, Phylogenetics and Ecological niche.
