Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

Rebecca T. Kimball mainly focuses on Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Zoology. Her work on Neoaves as part of general Phylogenetics research is frequently linked to Plant reproduction, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Phylogenetic tree study which covers Taxon that intersects with Galliformes.

Rebecca T. Kimball interconnects Biological dispersal, Macroevolution and Ficus in the investigation of issues within Ecology. Her Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Basal, Locus and Coalescent theory. The various areas that she examines in her Zoology study include Palaeognathae, Lineage and Monophyly.

Her most cited work include:

  • A Phylogenomic Study of Birds Reveals Their Evolutionary History (1437 citations)
  • Mitochondrial Genomes and Avian Phylogeny: Complex Characters and Resolvability without Explosive Radiations (164 citations)
  • Phylogenomic evidence for multiple losses of flight in ratite birds (160 citations)

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

Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Zoology, Phylogenetic tree and Ecology are her primary areas of study. Her work deals with themes such as Whole genome sequencing, Taxonomic rank, Locus, Coalescent theory and Phylogenomics, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. Rebecca T. Kimball has included themes like Taxon and Cytochrome b in her Phylogenetics study.

Her Zoology research incorporates themes from Monophyly and Internal transcribed spacer. Her Phylogenetic tree research includes elements of Mitochondrial DNA and Intron. In her work, Biogeography and Vicariance is strongly intertwined with Biological dispersal, which is a subfield of Ecology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (39.71%)
  • Phylogenetics (39.71%)
  • Zoology (37.50%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (39.71%)
  • Gene (16.18%)
  • Mitochondrial DNA (21.32%)

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

Rebecca T. Kimball focuses on Evolutionary biology, Gene, Mitochondrial DNA, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics. Rebecca T. Kimball has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Niche, Whole genome sequencing, Coalescent theory, Phylogenomics and Chiroxiphia. Her Gene research focuses on subjects like Apidae, which are linked to Genetics and DNA sequencing.

Her Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Taxon, Genome, Galliformes and Heteroptera. Her Galliformes research includes themes of Syrmaticus and Divergence. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene flow, Genetic structure and Appendage.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Earth history and the passerine superradiation (77 citations)
  • A Phylogenomic Supertree of Birds (32 citations)
  • Insight from an ultraconserved element bait set designed for hemipteran phylogenetics integrated with genomic resources. (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Phylogenetics, Mitochondrial DNA, Evolutionary biology, DNA sequencing and Honey bee. Her work investigates the relationship between Phylogenetics and topics such as Heteroptera that intersect with problems in Genome, Molecular evolution and Monophyly. She combines subjects such as Zoology, Hemiptera and Alydidae with her study of Monophyly.

Her studies in Mitochondrial DNA integrate themes in fields like Piciformes and Coraciiformes. Her Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxon sampling, Phylogenomics and Phylogenetic tree. Rebecca T. Kimball works in the field of Phylogenetic tree, namely Neoaves.
