Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

Nuno Ferrand mainly focuses on Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Zoology and Gene flow. His research related to Genetic variation, Gene, Linkage disequilibrium, Domestication and Haplotype might be considered part of Genetics. His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Subspecies, Mitochondrial DNA, Microsatellite, Gene pool and Genetic drift.

His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phylogeography and Genetic diversity. His Zoology course of study focuses on Introgression and Lepus castroviejoi. His studies in Gene flow integrate themes in fields like Allopatric speciation and Species complex.

His most cited work include:

  • The origin of European cattle: evidence from modern and ancient DNA. (258 citations)
  • Phylogeography of Southern European Refugia (245 citations)
  • Gene-culture Coevolution Between Cattle Milk Protein Genes and Human Lactase Genes (242 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Zoology and Gene. The various areas that Nuno Ferrand examines in his Genetics study include European rabbit and Subspecies. His studies deal with areas such as Allopatric speciation, Mitochondrial DNA, Introgression, Phylogeography and Gene flow as well as Evolutionary biology.

His Ecology research includes elements of Refugium and Genetic diversity. His work on Podarcis as part of general Zoology research is often related to Podarcis carbonelli, thus linking different fields of science. In general Gene, his work in Phenotype and Mutation is often linked to RAR-related orphan receptor and Gait linking many areas of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (42.86%)
  • Evolutionary biology (40.00%)
  • Ecology (34.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (40.00%)
  • Gene (23.43%)
  • Genetic diversity (17.14%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Evolutionary biology, Gene, Genetic diversity, Genome and Biodiversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Allopatric speciation, Subspecies, Genetic structure, Phylogeography and Gene flow. His Gene study contributes to a more complete understanding of Genetics.

His research on Genetics frequently connects to adjacent areas such as European rabbit. His Genetic diversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology, Biological dispersal and Biodiversity hotspot. His work deals with themes such as mtDNA control region and Rookery, which intersect with Ecology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Parallel adaptation of rabbit populations to myxoma virus (55 citations)
  • Parallel adaptation of rabbit populations to myxoma virus (55 citations)
  • Draft genome assembly of the invasive cane toad, Rhinella marina. (34 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

Gene, Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Myxoma virus and Viral replication are his primary areas of study. Nuno Ferrand studies Gene, namely Gene flow. Nuno Ferrand combines subjects such as Subspecies and Cline with his study of Genetics.

His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genome, Molecular Sequence Annotation and Invasive species. Nuno Ferrand has included themes like European rabbit, Myxomatosis, Genetic variation and Allele in his Myxoma virus study.
