Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Predation

Pilar López mainly investigates Ecology, Zoology, Lizard, Predation and Lacerta monticola. Her Predator, Sauria, Escape response, Lacertidae and Habitat investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. Her work in Zoology addresses subjects such as Body size, which are connected to disciplines such as Aggressive behaviours, High status and Juvenile.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Agonistic behaviour and Mating in addition to Lizard. As a member of one scientific family, Pilar López mostly works in the field of Predation, focusing on Body condition and, on occasion, Food intake and Boldness. Her Lacerta monticola study combines topics in areas such as Thermoregulation, Squalene, Cholesterol and Lactone.

Her most cited work include:

  • When to come out from a refuge: risk- sensitive and state-dependent decisions in an alpine lizard (199 citations)
  • The cost of producing a sexual signal: testosterone increases the susceptibility of male lizards to ectoparasitic infestation (185 citations)
  • Chemoreception, symmetry and mate choice in lizards (149 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Ecology, Zoology, Lizard, Predation and Predator. Her studies in Lacerta monticola, Habitat, Intraspecific competition, Sauria and Iberolacerta cyreni are all subfields of Ecology research. Zoology and Agonistic behaviour are frequently intertwined in her study.

Her research investigates the link between Lizard and topics such as Squalene that cross with problems in Cholesterol. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Predation, focusing on Podarcis muralis and, on occasion, Wall lizard. She conducted interdisciplinary study in her works that combined Predator and ALARM.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (62.41%)
  • Zoology (39.47%)
  • Lizard (30.08%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Zoology (39.47%)
  • Ecology (62.41%)
  • Lizard (30.08%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Ecology, Lizard, Iberolacerta cyreni and Predation. Her Animal ecology and Lacertidae study in the realm of Zoology interacts with subjects such as Context. As part of her studies on Ecology, Pilar López often connects relevant subjects like Melanin.

Her Lizard research includes themes of Intraspecific competition, Agonistic behaviour, Sexual selection, Mate choice and Chemical communication. Her Iberolacerta cyreni study also includes fields such as

  • Affect and related Predator, Cricket, Competition and Foraging,
  • Vitamin together with Sex Attractants, Expression and Vitamin E. In her study, Seasonal breeder, Poikilotherm and Body size is strongly linked to Thermoregulation, which falls under the umbrella field of Predation.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Condition-dependent chemosignals in reproductive behavior of lizards. (54 citations)
  • Interpopulational Variations in Sexual Chemical Signals of Iberian Wall Lizards May Allow Maximizing Signal Efficiency under Different Climatic Conditions (20 citations)
  • Macroevolutionary diversification of glands for chemical communication in squamate reptiles. (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Predation

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Zoology, Ecology, Lizard, Animal communication and Iberolacerta cyreni. She studies Animal ecology which is a part of Zoology. Her Ecology research incorporates elements of Stabilizing selection and Immune system.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sexual selection, Mate choice and Agonistic behaviour. Her research integrates issues of Adaptation, Desiccation, Population genetics and Abiotic component in her study of Animal communication. Her Iberolacerta cyreni research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vitamin and Personality psychology, Personality.
