Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • IUCN Red List

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Microsatellite, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Population genetics. His Ecology research includes elements of Phylogeography, Vicariance, Biological dispersal and Genetic structure. His Microsatellite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rhopalosiphum, Genetic marker, Aphis, Macrosiphum and Uroleucon.

His studies in Genetics integrate themes in fields like Macrosiphoniella and Aphid. His Population genetics study combines topics in areas such as Hymenoptera, Andricus, Microevolution and Biogeography. His work in Mitochondrial DNA addresses subjects such as Phylogenetics, which are connected to disciplines such as Pseudogene.

His most cited work include:

  • Numerous transposed sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I-II in aphids of the genus Sitobion (Hemiptera: Aphididae). (921 citations)
  • Efficient genetic markers for population biology. (815 citations)
  • Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments : a genetic perspective (502 citations)

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

Ecology, Biological dispersal, Evolutionary biology, Genetics and Zoology are his primary areas of study. His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Phylogeography, Gene flow and Population genetics. His Biological dispersal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Habitat fragmentation, Range, Isolation by distance, Arid and Fragmentation.

The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Sexual reproduction, Genetic diversity and Human evolutionary genetics. His biological study deals with issues like Aphid, which deal with fields such as Aphididae. Paul Sunnucks focuses mostly in the field of Microsatellite, narrowing it down to matters related to Genetic marker and, in some cases, Population biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (57.14%)
  • Biological dispersal (22.86%)
  • Evolutionary biology (20.00%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (20.00%)
  • Inbreeding (7.62%)
  • Ecology (57.14%)

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

Paul Sunnucks mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Inbreeding, Ecology, Gene flow and Inbreeding depression. His Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Range, Evolutionary ecology, Human evolutionary genetics and Mitochondrial DNA. His Inbreeding research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endangered species and Genetic diversity.

His Ecology research includes themes of Biological dispersal and Extinction. His Gene flow study is focused on Genetics in general. His Inbreeding depression study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Demography, Allele, Conservation genetics and Outbreeding depression.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Call for a Paradigm Shift in the Genetic Management of Fragmented Populations (143 citations)
  • Concordant divergence of mitogenomes and a mitonuclear gene cluster in bird lineages inhabiting different climates. (37 citations)
  • Artificial barriers prevent genetic recovery of small isolated populations of a low-mobility freshwater fish (24 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression and Habitat destruction. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Biological dispersal and Extinction. His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Linkage disequilibrium, Mitochondrial DNA, Introgression, Gene cluster and Local adaptation.

His Mitochondrial DNA study deals with Phylogenetic tree intersecting with Natural selection. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Inbreeding, focusing on Genetic diversity and, on occasion, Human evolutionary genetics, Allele and Genetic variation. His study in Inbreeding depression is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Conservation biology and Reproductive success.
