Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Evolutionary biology, Bicyclus anynana, Natural selection, Developmental biology and Evolutionary developmental biology. Her Evolutionary biology study frequently links to other fields, such as Pleiotropy. Her Bicyclus anynana study is associated with Genetics.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Butterfly and Phenotypic plasticity. Her research in Developmental biology intersects with topics in Phenotype and Insect. Her Evolutionary developmental biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Expressed sequence tag, Gene, Homology and Gene prediction.

Her most cited work include:

  • Evolution and molecular mechanisms of adaptive developmental plasticity (250 citations)
  • Evolution and molecular mechanisms of adaptive developmental plasticity (250 citations)
  • The genetics and evo–devo of butterfly wing patterns (245 citations)

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

Patrícia Beldade mainly focuses on Bicyclus anynana, Evolutionary biology, Butterfly, Genetics and Eyespot. Her study looks at the relationship between Bicyclus anynana and topics such as Butterfly wing, which overlap with Morphology. Patrícia Beldade studies Evolutionary developmental biology, a branch of Evolutionary biology.

Her study in Butterfly is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Pupa, Natural selection, Anatomy and Embryo. As part of the same scientific family, Patrícia Beldade usually focuses on Genetics, concentrating on Cline and intersecting with Adaptive evolution and Melanogaster. Her Eyespot study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genome editing and Modularity.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Bicyclus anynana (82.86%)
  • Evolutionary biology (88.57%)
  • Butterfly (44.29%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2020)?

  • Developmental plasticity (34.29%)
  • Bicyclus anynana (82.86%)
  • Predation (14.29%)

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

Patrícia Beldade mainly investigates Developmental plasticity, Bicyclus anynana, Predation, Crypsis and Sensory cue. Her Developmental plasticity research covers fields of interest such as Genome-wide association study, Quantitative trait locus, Allele, Genetic variation and Evolutionary biology. Her work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Insect, Cline and Adaptive evolution.

To a larger extent, Patrícia Beldade studies Ecology with the aim of understanding Bicyclus anynana. Ecology is closely attributed to Eyespot in her study. Her Predation research incorporates elements of Zoology, Camouflage and Butterfly.

Between 2017 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Genetic basis of thermal plasticity variation in Drosophila melanogaster body size. (21 citations)
  • Genetic basis of thermal plasticity variation in Drosophila melanogaster body size. (21 citations)
  • Seasonal plasticity in anti-predatory strategies: Matching of color and color preference for effective crypsis. (16 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

Her primary scientific interests are in Developmental plasticity, Genome-wide association study, Population genetics, Quantitative trait locus and Allele. Patrícia Beldade integrates several fields in her works, including Developmental plasticity and Crypsis. Her studies deal with areas such as Animal coloration and Bicyclus anynana as well as Crypsis.

Genome-wide association study overlaps with fields such as Genetic variation and Evolutionary biology in her research. Her study in the field of Phenotypic plasticity is also linked to topics like Preference.
