Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • Zoology

Rauno V. Alatalo focuses on Ecology, Mate choice, Mating, Sexual selection and Black grouse. Rauno V. Alatalo combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology and Pied flycatcher with his study of Ecology. His Pied flycatcher research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ficedula and Marital status.

His Mate choice research includes elements of Sample size determination, Gene, Courtship and Bioinformatics. His study on Sexual selection is covered under Zoology. His work deals with themes such as Seasonal breeder and Lek mating, which intersect with Black grouse.

His most cited work include:

  • Good-genes effects in sexual selection. (451 citations)
  • Problems in the measurement of evenness in ecology (282 citations)
  • The Conflict Between Male Polygamy and Female Monogamy: The Case of the Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca (239 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Zoology, Mate choice, Black grouse and Mating. His Ecology and Sexual selection, Predation, Parus, Ficedula and Habitat investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. His research investigates the connection between Sexual selection and topics such as Wolf spider that intersect with problems in Affect.

He interconnects Hatching and Reproduction in the investigation of issues within Zoology. His Mate choice research integrates issues from Agonistic behaviour, Courtship, Passerine, Reproductive success and Preference. His Black grouse study incorporates themes from Grouse and Lek mating.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (69.33%)
  • Zoology (30.00%)
  • Mate choice (28.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2015)?

  • Ecology (69.33%)
  • Black grouse (27.33%)
  • Tetrao (22.00%)

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

Rauno V. Alatalo mostly deals with Ecology, Black grouse, Tetrao, Mating and Lek mating. His Ecology research incorporates themes from Zoology and Biological dispersal. His research in Black grouse intersects with topics in Grouse and Genetics, Gene, Major histocompatibility complex.

As a member of one scientific family, Rauno V. Alatalo mostly works in the field of Tetrao, focusing on Predation and, on occasion, Taiga. His Mating research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Natural selection and Hatchling. His work focuses on many connections between Lek mating and other disciplines, such as Kin selection, that overlap with his field of interest in Red grouse.

Between 2006 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Color signals in the black grouse (Tetrao tetrix): signal properties and their condition dependency. (66 citations)
  • The Mhc class II of the Black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) consists of low numbers of B and Y genes with variable diversity and expression (55 citations)
  • SIGNAL RELIABILITY COMPROMISED BY GENOTYPE-BY-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION AND POTENTIAL MECHANISMS FOR ITS PRESERVATION (45 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • Zoology

Rauno V. Alatalo mostly deals with Ecology, Black grouse, Zoology, Tetrao and Mating. His Ecology study focuses mostly on Mate choice and Sexual selection. He has researched Black grouse in several fields, including Hazel grouse, Grouse, Balancing selection and Genetics.

He usually deals with Zoology and limits it to topics linked to Biological dispersal and Inbreeding depression, Inbreeding, Red grouse and Kin selection. The various areas that he examines in his Tetrao study include Gene cluster, Gene, Major histocompatibility complex and MHC class II. His work on Lek mating as part of his general Mating study is frequently connected to Wing, Ornaments and Field data, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
