What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Genus
- Paleontology
- Cretaceous
Paul Upchurch mainly focuses on Paleontology, Zoology, Sauropoda, Cretaceous and Ecology.
His study looks at the relationship between Paleontology and topics such as Vicariance, which overlap with Oceanic dispersal.
His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ornithopod, Thyreophora, Ornithischia and Marginocephalia.
His research investigates the connection between Cretaceous and topics such as Species richness that intersect with issues in Temperate climate.
His Ecology study which covers Geologic record that intersects with Phylogenetic diversity.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Neosauropoda, focusing on Macronaria and, on occasion, Cetiosauridae, Rebbachisauridae, Brachiosauridae, Eusauropoda and Diplodocoidea.
His most cited work include:
- The phylogenetic relationships of sauropod dinosaurs (328 citations)
- The Evolutionary History of Sauropod Dinosaurs (273 citations)
- Rates of dinosaur body mass evolution indicate 170 million years of sustained ecological innovation on the avian stem lineage. (210 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Cretaceous, Sauropoda, Ecology and Zoology.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Paleontology, Evolutionary biology is strongly linked to Systematics.
His Paleogene study in the realm of Cretaceous connects with subjects such as Extinction event.
His Sauropoda study combines topics in areas such as Saurischia, Anatomy and Diplodocoidea.
He focuses mostly in the field of Ecology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Geologic record and, in certain cases, Sea level and Species richness.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ornithischia and Diplodocus.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (47.37%)
- Cretaceous (24.34%)
- Sauropoda (19.74%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Paleontology (47.37%)
- Cretaceous (24.34%)
- Evolutionary biology (15.13%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Cretaceous, Evolutionary biology, Taxon and Ecology.
His Paleontology research includes elements of Autapomorphy and Osteology.
Paul Upchurch interconnects Biodiversity and Laurasia in the investigation of issues within Cretaceous.
In his work, Biogeography is strongly intertwined with Clade, which is a subfield of Taxon.
His study in the field of Climate change is also linked to topics like Sampling bias.
In his study, Titanosaur is inextricably linked to Anatomy, which falls within the broad field of Sauropoda.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The extinction of the dinosaurs (96 citations)
- New Australian sauropods shed light on Cretaceous dinosaur palaeobiogeography (70 citations)
- Revision of the sauropod dinosaur Diamantinasaurus matildae Hocknull et al. 2009 from the mid-Cretaceous of Australia: Implications for Gondwanan titanosauriform dispersal (62 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Genus
- Paleontology
- Cretaceous
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Cretaceous, Diamantinasaurus, Biodiversity and Extinction event.
Paul Upchurch combines subjects such as Global biodiversity and Anatomy with his study of Paleontology.
His Anatomy research integrates issues from Malawisaurus, Saltasauridae, Neosauropoda and Macronaria.
His Cretaceous research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxon and Climate change.
His studies deal with areas such as Osteology, Autapomorphy, Phylogeography and Fossil Record as well as Diamantinasaurus.
His work carried out in the field of Biodiversity brings together such families of science as Species richness, Spatial heterogeneity and Paleogene.
