What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Social science
- Ecology
- Anthropology
Ecology, Reproductive success, Fertility, Social science and Parental investment are her primary areas of study.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Production and Outreach.
Monique Borgerhoff Mulder combines subjects such as Evolutionary theory, Mating and Polygyny with her study of Reproductive success.
Her work in Polygyny covers topics such as Demography which are related to areas like Animal ecology.
Her study in Fertility is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Reproduction, Natural selection, Darwinism and Evolutionary psychology.
Her Parental investment study incorporates themes from Competition, Evolutionary anthropology, Demographic economics, Positive economics and Demographic transition.
Her most cited work include:
- The demographic transition: are we any closer to an evolutionary explanation? (215 citations)
- Intergenerational wealth transmission and the dynamics of inequality in small-scale societies. (209 citations)
- Bateman's principles and human sex roles (183 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Demography, Ecology, Ecology, Polygyny and Development economics.
Monique Borgerhoff Mulder usually deals with Demography and limits it to topics linked to Socioeconomic status and Child mortality and Socioeconomics.
Her Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Reproduction, Parental investment and Fertility, Demographic transition.
The Parental investment study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology and Investment.
Monique Borgerhoff Mulder focuses mostly in the field of Polygyny, narrowing it down to topics relating to Sexual selection and, in certain cases, Social psychology.
Her work deals with themes such as Agrarian society, Pastoralism, Economic growth and Land tenure, which intersect with Development economics.
She most often published in these fields:
- Demography (13.25%)
- Ecology (12.05%)
- Ecology (10.84%)

- Sociocultural evolution (10.24%)
- Polygyny (9.04%)
- Political science (7.23%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Monique Borgerhoff Mulder focuses on Sociocultural evolution, Polygyny, Political science, Evolutionary anthropology and Demographic economics.
Her Sociocultural evolution study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Macroevolution, Phylogenetic tree and Cultural diversity.
Her Polygyny research incorporates elements of Sexual selection and Mating.
Her Mating study deals with Test intersecting with Mating system, Reproductive success and Demography.
Her work carried out in the field of Evolutionary anthropology brings together such families of science as Rigour, Scholarship and Psychological research.
Her Demographic economics course of study focuses on Intergenerational transmission and Normative, Privilege and Parental investment.
Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Applying cultural evolution to sustainability challenges: an introduction to the special issue (25 citations)
- Greater wealth inequality, less polygyny: rethinking the polygyny threshold model. (15 citations)
- Father absence but not fosterage predicts food insecurity, relative poverty, and poor child health in northern Tanzania (9 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Social science
- Ecology
- Anthropology
Monique Borgerhoff Mulder mainly investigates Evolutionary anthropology, Political science, Demographic economics, Kinship and Cross-cultural studies.
Her Political science research overlaps with Environmental planning, Sustainability, Sociocultural evolution, Landscape ecology and Sustainable development.
Her Demographic economics research integrates issues from Polygyny threshold model, Mate choice, Polygyny and Normative.
Her studies in Kinship integrate themes in fields like Expression, Negotiation, Social complexity and Social system.
Her Cross-cultural studies research incorporates themes from Rigour, Social change, Scholarship and Psychological research.
