Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Natural selection
  • Statistics

Reinhard Bürger mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Mutation, Genetics, Extinction and Stabilizing selection. His research integrates issues of Genetic drift, Genetic variation, Selection and Genetic architecture in his study of Evolutionary biology. His Genetic variation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genetic variability and Ecology, Intraspecific competition.

As part of one scientific family, Reinhard Bürger deals mainly with the area of Mutation, narrowing it down to issues related to the Natural selection, and often Statistics, Mathematical theory and Neutral theory of molecular evolution. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Population genetics under Genetics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Genetic equilibrium. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carrying capacity, Small population size and Mutation Accumulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology (1282 citations)
  • MUTATION ACCUMULATION AND THE EXTINCTION OF SMALL POPULATIONS (723 citations)
  • The mutational meltdown in asexual populations (461 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Population genetics, Stabilizing selection and Selection. Reinhard Bürger integrates Evolutionary biology and Trait in his studies. As a member of one scientific family, Reinhard Bürger mostly works in the field of Genetics, focusing on Population size and, on occasion, Mutational meltdown and Small population size.

The various areas that Reinhard Bürger examines in his Stabilizing selection study include Fitness landscape, Genetic equilibrium and Ecological speciation. His Selection research incorporates elements of Quantitative genetics, Genetic model, Biological dispersal and Genetic drift. His study in Mutation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mutation rate and Extinction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (51.46%)
  • Genetics (43.69%)
  • Population genetics (25.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (51.46%)
  • Locus (24.27%)
  • Linkage disequilibrium (15.53%)

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

Evolutionary biology, Locus, Linkage disequilibrium, Trait and Genetics are his primary areas of study. Reinhard Bürger combines subjects such as Quantitative trait locus and Stabilizing selection, Selection, Natural selection with his study of Evolutionary biology. His research in Quantitative trait locus intersects with topics in Genetic variation, Outlier and Inheritance.

Reinhard Bürger has included themes like Genetic model, Econometrics, Statistics, Genetic drift and Biological dispersal in his Selection study. His works in Genetic architecture and Epistasis are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His research investigates the connection with Epistasis and areas like Population genetics which intersect with concerns in Evolutionary dynamics and Cline.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Why intraspecific trait variation matters in community ecology (1282 citations)
  • The limits to parapatric speciation: Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities in a continent-island model. (114 citations)
  • The community effects of phenotypic and genetic variation within a predator population (106 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Algebra
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Genetics, Genetic architecture, Evolutionary biology, Epistasis and Genetic variation. By researching both Genetics and Linkage disequilibrium, Reinhard Bürger produces research that crosses academic boundaries. His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Allopatric speciation, Gene flow, Selection and Mechanism.

His Genetic variation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology, Intraspecific competition and Natural selection. Reinhard Bürger has researched Intraspecific competition in several fields, including Genetic variability and Ecology. The Locus study combines topics in areas such as Allele and Population genetics.
