Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Rafe M. Brown focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Southeast asian and Biological dispersal. Rafe M. Brown studies Archipelago which is a part of Ecology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biodiversity, Molecular sequence is strongly linked to Zoology.

His work deals with themes such as Taxon, Crocidura and Endemism, which intersect with Biogeography. His research in Biological dispersal intersects with topics in Extinction, Phylogeography, Vicariance, Hylidae and Species richness. Rafe M. Brown combines subjects such as Species diversity and Monophyly with his study of Lineage.

His most cited work include:

  • The conservation status of the world's reptiles (490 citations)
  • Phylogenetics of Fanged Frogs:Testing Biogeographical Hypotheses at the Interface of the Asian and Australian Faunal Zones (182 citations)
  • Phylogeny and biogeography of a cosmopolitan frog radiation: Late cretaceous diversification resulted in continent-scale endemism in the family ranidae (176 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Genus, Zoology, Biodiversity and Squamata. His study in the field of Endemism, Archipelago and Biogeography is also linked to topics like Southeast asian. His research investigates the connection between Genus and topics such as Luperosaurus that intersect with problems in Body size.

He has included themes like Brachymeles and Monophyly in his Zoology study. As a part of the same scientific family, Rafe M. Brown mostly works in the field of Biodiversity, focusing on Conservation status and, on occasion, IUCN Red List. As a part of the same scientific study, Rafe M. Brown usually deals with the Squamata, concentrating on Taxonomy and frequently concerns with Taxon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (65.32%)
  • Genus (33.33%)
  • Zoology (29.73%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (16.67%)
  • Ecology (65.32%)
  • Genus (33.33%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Genus, Zoology and Biodiversity. His studies deal with areas such as Taxon, Species complex, Species diversity and Genetic divergence as well as Evolutionary biology. He performs integrative Ecology and Diversification research in his work.

His Genus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gekkonidae, Archipelago and Sponge spicule. His research integrates issues of Platymantis, Lineage and Fauna in his study of Biodiversity. He has researched Biogeography in several fields, including Genetic viability, Monophyly, Python, Swamp and Biological dispersal.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A novel multilocus phylogenetic estimation reveals unrecognized diversity in Asian horned toads, genus Megophrys sensu lato (Anura: Megophryidae). (35 citations)
  • Genomic data reveals potential for hybridization, introgression, and incomplete lineage sorting to confound phylogenetic relationships in an adaptive radiation of narrow-mouth frogs. (29 citations)
  • Species delimitation with gene flow: A methodological comparison and population genomics approach to elucidate cryptic species boundaries in Malaysian Torrent Frogs. (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Rafe M. Brown mainly focuses on Evolutionary biology, Biogeography, Coalescent theory, Range and Zoology. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Systematics and Amolops. His Biogeography research incorporates elements of Biological dispersal and Monophyly.

His Coalescent theory research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sensu, Genetics and Species complex. His Range study results in a more complete grasp of Ecology. His primary area of study in Zoology is in the field of Hemibungarus.
