Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Neil B. Metcalfe mainly investigates Ecology, Salmo, Juvenile, Salmonidae and Predation. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Zoology and Agonistic behaviour. His Brown trout study, which is part of a larger body of work in Salmo, is frequently linked to Variation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research in Juvenile tackles topics such as Appetite which are related to areas like Energy reserves, Predator avoidance, Trout and Diversity of fish. His Salmonidae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metabolic rate, Fish farming, Aquaculture, Social status and Environmental factor. His Predation research includes themes of Turnstone, Fishery and Habitat.

His most cited work include:

  • Compensation for a bad start: grow now, pay later? (1449 citations)
  • Developmental plasticity and human health (1308 citations)
  • Oxidative stress as a mediator of life history trade‐offs: mechanisms, measurements and interpretation (881 citations)

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

Ecology, Salmo, Juvenile, Zoology and Salmonidae are his primary areas of study. His work focuses on many connections between Ecology and other disciplines, such as Compensatory growth, that overlap with his field of interest in Trade-off. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Trout, Fishery, Animal science and Life history theory.

His Juvenile study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Overwintering, Agonistic behaviour, Metabolic rate and Body size. His Zoology course of study focuses on Carotenoid and Gasterosteus. His studies deal with areas such as Basal metabolic rate and Competition as well as Intraspecific competition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (58.50%)
  • Salmo (32.31%)
  • Juvenile (28.91%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (58.50%)
  • Salmo (32.31%)
  • Juvenile (28.91%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Salmo, Juvenile, Telomere and Brown trout. His Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gasterosteus and Metabolic rate. His research in Salmo intersects with topics in Zoology, Spawn, Fishery and Nutrient.

His study in Zoology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Overwintering and Reproduction. His Juvenile study combines topics in areas such as Litter and Incubation. In his study, Foraging is inextricably linked to Predation, which falls within the broad field of Juvenile fish.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Can environmental conditions experienced in early life influence future generations (167 citations)
  • Does individual variation in metabolic phenotype predict fish behaviour and performance (160 citations)
  • Variation in the link between oxygen consumption and ATP production, and its relevance for animal performance (113 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Neil B. Metcalfe focuses on Ecology, Salmo, Metabolic rate, Telomere and Oxidative stress. A large part of his Ecology studies is devoted to Intraspecific competition. Salmo is closely attributed to Juvenile in his work.

In his research on the topic of Metabolic rate, Habitat, Organism and Biotechnology is strongly related with Food availability. The various areas that Neil B. Metcalfe examines in his Telomere study include Ageing, Soma and Longevity. His Oxidative stress research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Reactive oxygen species and Mitochondrion.
