Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Zoology, Competition, Allometry and Phylogenetic tree. Pasquale Raia regularly ties together related areas like Mandible in his Ecology studies. His Zoology research focuses on subjects like Taxon, which are linked to Biogeography, Range and Insular biogeography.

Pasquale Raia has included themes like Nimravidae, Phylogenetics and Morphometrics in his Allometry study. The Sister group research he does as part of his general Phylogenetic tree study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Gavialis, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Body size research integrates issues from Molar, Hypsodont, Ungulate and Evolutionary biology.

His most cited work include:

  • THE ISLAND RULE IN LARGE MAMMALS: PALEONTOLOGY MEETS ECOLOGY (160 citations)
  • Evaluation of cardiac and respiratory involvement in sarcoglycanopathies. (123 citations)
  • Darwinian shortfalls in biodiversity conservation. (114 citations)

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

Pasquale Raia mainly investigates Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Phylogenetic tree and Clade. His research on Ecology frequently links to adjacent areas such as Extinction. He studied Evolutionary biology and Body size that intersect with Cope's rule.

In his research on the topic of Zoology, Skull and Primate is strongly related with Allometry. His Phylogenetic tree research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxon and Phylogenetics. His Clade research includes themes of Mandible and Interspecific competition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (48.08%)
  • Evolutionary biology (23.72%)
  • Zoology (21.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (23.72%)
  • Phylogenetic comparative methods (7.05%)
  • Clade (16.03%)

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

Pasquale Raia mainly focuses on Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic comparative methods, Clade, Ecology and Pleistocene. His work deals with themes such as Adaptation, Body size, Allometry and Phylogenetic tree, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. Pasquale Raia usually deals with Phylogenetic tree and limits it to topics linked to Phylogenetics and Order.

His studies deal with areas such as Morphometrics, Xenarthra, Fossorial, Sloth and Convergent evolution as well as Clade. Pasquale Raia works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Niche in particular. His studies in Pleistocene integrate themes in fields like Volcano, Archaeological evidence, Paleoanthropology and Climatic variability.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A new, fast method to search for morphological convergence with shape data. (15 citations)
  • Impact of transition to a subterranean lifestyle on morphological disparity and integration in talpid moles (Mammalia, Talpidae) (10 citations)
  • Macroevolutionary trends of brain mass in Primates (9 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Extinction

Pasquale Raia spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic comparative methods, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics and Clade. His study explores the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Macroevolution that cross with problems in Body size, Cetacea and Allometry. His research links Adaptation with Phylogenetic tree.

Pasquale Raia interconnects Talpidae, Mole, Taxon, Phenotypic trait and Phenotypic integration in the investigation of issues within Clade. His study in Human evolution is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and Extinction. His work in the fields of Niche overlaps with other areas such as Taxonomic inflation.
