What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Extinction
His main research concerns Ecology, Extinction, Ancient DNA, DNA and Nuclear DNA.
Richard N. Holdaway is studying Dinornis, which is a component of Ecology.
His studies deal with areas such as Paleontology, Dinornithiformes and Subfossil as well as Dinornis.
His Extinction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nouvelle zelande, Eagle, Paleoecology and Predation.
Richard N. Holdaway has researched Predation in several fields, including Prehistory, Continental shelf, Polynesians and Extinction rate.
His work in the fields of DNA digital data storage overlaps with other areas such as Half-life.
His most cited work include:
- The half-life of DNA in bone: measuring decay kinetics in 158 dated fossils (324 citations)
- The Lost World of the Moa: Prehistoric Life of New Zealand (281 citations)
- Rapid extinction of the moas (Aves: Dinornithiformes): model, test, and implications. (207 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Ancient DNA, Paleontology, Radiocarbon dating and Extinction.
His research links Zoology with Ecology.
His Ancient DNA research includes themes of Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, Genetic diversity and Megafauna.
His Paleontology research incorporates themes from Cave and Archaeology.
Richard N. Holdaway has included themes like Volcano, Period and Series in his Radiocarbon dating study.
His Extinction study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Habitat, Polynesians, Human settlement and Dinornithiformes.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (53.52%)
- Ancient DNA (23.94%)
- Paleontology (22.54%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?
- Radiocarbon dating (19.72%)
- Megafauna (8.45%)
- Ecology (53.52%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Radiocarbon dating, Megafauna, Ecology, Ancient DNA and Southern Hemisphere.
His Radiocarbon dating study incorporates themes from Polynesians and Chronology.
The Megafauna study combines topics in areas such as Elephant seal, Humpback whale and Extinction.
His Ecology research includes elements of Evolutionary biology and Population structure.
His Ancient DNA research incorporates elements of Zoology, Sympatric speciation and Genetic diversity.
His work investigates the relationship between Southern Hemisphere and topics such as Dendrochronology that intersect with problems in Caldera, Volcano and Prehistory.
Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Extinct New Zealand megafauna were not in decline before human colonization (54 citations)
- An extremely low-density human population exterminated New Zealand moa (32 citations)
- High-precision dating and ancient DNA profiling of moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) eggshell documents a complex feature at Wairau Bar and refines the chronology of New Zealand settlement by Polynesians (31 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Paleontology
- Extinction
His scientific interests lie mostly in Radiocarbon dating, Megafauna, Polynesians, Extinction and Ecology.
Richard N. Holdaway combines subjects such as Zoology, Ancient DNA, Midden and Population genetics with his study of Radiocarbon dating.
His Zoology research integrates issues from Gene pool, Genetic diversity and Extinction event.
His work deals with themes such as Prehistory, Excavation and Eggshell, which intersect with Midden.
His Prehistory study typically links adjacent topics like Chronology.
His Population genetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Population density and Period.
