Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Natural selection

Molly R. Morris mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Mate choice, Sexual selection and Mating. The study incorporates disciplines such as Xiphophorus multilineatus and Genetic correlation in addition to Zoology. She has included themes like Dichromatism, Poeciliidae and Courtship in her Xiphophorus multilineatus study.

Her Mate choice study is focused on Genetics in general. In her work, Sympatric speciation and Body size is strongly intertwined with Xiphophorus pygmaeus, which is a subfield of Sexual selection. Her research in Mating intersects with topics in Melanin and Demography.

Her most cited work include:

  • A Genetic Polymorphism in the Swordtail Xiphophorus nigrensis: Testing the Prediction of Equal Fitnesses (169 citations)
  • Avoiding a compromise between sexual selection and species recognition: female swordtail fish assess multiple species-specific cues (127 citations)
  • A polymorphism in female preference for a polymorphic male trait in the swordtail fish Xiphophorus cortezi (92 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Ecology, Xiphophorus multilineatus, Sexual selection and Mating. Her study ties her expertise on Xiphophorus together with the subject of Zoology. Her study in the fields of Animal ecology, Competition and Body size under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Variation and Context.

She combines subjects such as Sexual maturity, Reproductive success, Evolutionary biology and Sexual dimorphism with her study of Xiphophorus multilineatus. In her research on the topic of Sexual selection, Poeciliidae, Aggression and Agonistic behaviour is strongly related with Courtship. Her Mating research includes themes of Demography, Evolutionarily stable strategy and Disruptive selection.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (38.46%)
  • Ecology (37.18%)
  • Xiphophorus multilineatus (37.18%)

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

  • Xiphophorus multilineatus (37.18%)
  • Selection (10.26%)
  • Evolutionary biology (19.23%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Xiphophorus multilineatus, Selection, Evolutionary biology, Sexual dimorphism and Reproductive success. Her Xiphophorus multilineatus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Demography, Mating, Sexual maturity, Appetite and Energy homeostasis. Her studies in Selection integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Ecology, Genetic algorithm and Evolutionary ecology.

Her Reproductive success study often links to related topics such as Sexual selection. Molly R. Morris conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Sexual selection and SWORD through her research. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology and Body size.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Frequency-dependent selection and fluctuations around an equilibrium for alternative reproductive tactics in a swordtail (7 citations)
  • Selection on growth rates via a trade-off between survival to sexual maturity and longevity in the swordtail fish Xiphophorus multilineatus (6 citations)
  • Tactical dimorphism: the interplay between body shape and mating behaviour in the swordtail Xiphophorus multilineatus (Cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae) (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Natural selection
  • Genetics

Molly R. Morris mainly focuses on Xiphophorus multilineatus, Sexual maturity, Demography, Mating and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Her studies in Xiphophorus multilineatus integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology and Courtship. Her work deals with themes such as Evolutionarily stable state, Frequency-dependent selection, Selection, Reproductive success and Stabilizing selection, which intersect with Sexual maturity.

Her Demography research includes themes of Animal ecology, Trade-off, Disruptive selection and Longevity. Molly R. Morris interconnects Allometry, Poeciliidae, Cyprinodontiformes and Sexual dimorphism in the investigation of issues within Mating. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is frequently linked to Type 2 diabetes in her study.
