Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Botany
Gene

Rafael Rubio de Casas mainly focuses on Ecology, Colonization, Phylogenetic tree, Germination and Dormancy. His Phylogenetic tree study incorporates themes from Subspecies, Olive trees and Olea. The concepts of his Subspecies study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Genetic structure, Genetic diversity and Mediterranean Basin.

Germination is the subject of his research, which falls under Botany. His work in the fields of Seed dormancy and Taxon overlaps with other areas such as Diversification and Trait. His research in Dormancy intersects with topics in Adaptation and Local adaptation.

His most cited work include:

Germination, Postgermination Adaptation, and Species Ecological Ranges (446 citations)
Current perspectives and the future of domestication studies (338 citations)
The evolution of seed dormancy: environmental cues, evolutionary hubs, and diversification of the seed plants (179 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Botany, Biological dispersal, Dormancy and Olea. The various areas that Rafael Rubio de Casas examines in his Ecology study include Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quercus coccifera and Genetic variation.

His research integrates issues of Propagule, Animal ecology, Inbreeding, Arid and Abiotic component in his study of Biological dispersal. His Dormancy study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Germination. His Germination research integrates issues from Arabidopsis thaliana and Natural selection.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (142.35%)
Botany (62.35%)
Biological dispersal (64.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

Ecology (142.35%)
Seed dormancy (22.35%)
Germination (38.82%)

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

Rafael Rubio de Casas spends much of his time researching Ecology, Seed dormancy, Germination, Biological dispersal and Arid. In his papers, Rafael Rubio de Casas integrates diverse fields, such as Ecology and Trait. His studies in Seed dormancy integrate themes in fields like Phylogenetic comparative methods, Growing season, Seed predation, Seed dispersal syndrome and Adaptive value.

His Germination study focuses on Dormancy in particular. His Biological dispersal study deals with Seedling intersecting with Apodemus, Pinus and Phylogenetic tree. His studies deal with areas such as Seed dispersal, Propagule, Evolutionary dynamics, Reproductive success and Adaptation as well as Arid.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
