Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Natural selection

Richard E. Michod focuses on Multicellular organism, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Volvox and Ecology. Richard E. Michod has included themes like Organism, Conflict mediation, Volvox carteri and Unit of selection in his Multicellular organism study. His works in Inclusive fitness, Altruism and Kin selection are all subjects of inquiry into Evolutionary biology.

His research integrates issues of Altruism and Group selection in his study of Genetics. His Volvox study incorporates themes from Flagellum and Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Volvocaceae and Gonium.

His most cited work include:

  • Darwinian Dynamics: Evolutionary Transitions in Fitness and Individuality (389 citations)
  • The Theory of Kin Selection (306 citations)
  • Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)

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

Richard E. Michod mainly investigates Multicellular organism, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Ecology and Volvox. His work on Volvocaceae as part of general Multicellular organism study is frequently linked to Specialization, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Epistemology and Fitness landscape.

His work investigates the relationship between Fitness landscape and topics such as Cognitive psychology that intersect with problems in Natural selection. His research on Volvox also deals with topics like

  • Volvox carteri that intertwine with fields like Biophysics,
  • Phylogenetics that connect with fields like Outcrossing. His study in Inclusive fitness is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Altruism and Social evolution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Multicellular organism (42.97%)
  • Evolutionary biology (40.62%)
  • Genetics (33.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Multicellular organism (42.97%)
  • Evolutionary biology (40.62%)
  • Ecology (17.19%)

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

Richard E. Michod mainly focuses on Multicellular organism, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Genetics and Evolutionary transitions. The concepts of his Multicellular organism study are interwoven with issues in Cell cycle, Plumage, Sexual dimorphism and Somatic cell. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Zoology, Ribozyme and Mechanism.

In general Ecology, his work in Life history is often linked to Model system linking many areas of study. His Evolutionary transitions study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mathematical economics, Spurious correlation, Darwinism and Phenotypic plasticity. His Genome research incorporates themes from Adaptation, Host, Gonium and Regulatory Pathway.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Gonium pectorale genome demonstrates co-option of cell cycle regulation during the evolution of multicellularity (76 citations)
  • The Gonium pectorale genome demonstrates co-option of cell cycle regulation during the evolution of multicellularity (76 citations)
  • Programmed Cell Death and Complexity in Microbial Systems (37 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Natural selection

His primary scientific interests are in Multicellular organism, Genome, Genetics, Regulatory Pathway and Cell cycle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary biology, Lineage, Cell Cycle Gene and Gene family in addition to Multicellular organism. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Organism, Group living and Mechanism.

His Genome research integrates issues from Tetrabaena socialis and Host. His study in Virulence, Pathogen, Meiosis, Microorganism and Bacteria is carried out as part of his Genetics studies. His Regulatory Pathway study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Adaptation, Gonium and Three-domain system.
