What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His main research concerns Zoology, Ecology, Petauristinae, Wing loading and Patagium.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxon and Sciurinae.
His Ecology study is mostly concerned with Species diversity, Endemism, Amazon rainforest, FAMILY SCIURIDAE and Endangered species.
Richard W. Thorington connects Petauristinae with Body proportions in his study.
His most cited work include:
- A Preliminary Analysis of a Neotropical Mammal Fauna (168 citations)
- Squirrels of the World (106 citations)
- Amazonian biodiversity: assessing conservation priorities with taxonomic data (99 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Richard W. Thorington mostly deals with Zoology, Ecology, Anatomy, Taxon and Primate.
His Zoology research is mostly focused on the topic Patagium.
He works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Extinction and, in certain cases, Habitat fragmentation.
In general Anatomy study, his work on Cartilage, Carpal bones and Wrist often relates to the realm of Common method, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His work focuses on many connections between Taxon and other disciplines, such as Pleistocene, that overlap with his field of interest in Habitat and Biogeography.
His work on Strepsirrhini and Hylobatidae as part of his general Primate study is frequently connected to Cardiac nerve and Autonomic nervous system, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Zoology (52.73%)
- Ecology (43.64%)
- Anatomy (23.64%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?
- Anatomy (23.64%)
- Ecology (43.64%)
- Comparative anatomy (9.09%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Richard W. Thorington mostly deals with Anatomy, Ecology, Comparative anatomy, Taxon and Habitat.
The Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Pangolin and Petaurista.
Richard W. Thorington combines topics linked to Colugo with his work on Ecology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phylogeography, Biological dispersal, Pleistocene and Temperate climate.
His multidisciplinary approach integrates Cheirogaleidae and Zoology in his work.
His Intraspecific competition study in the realm of Zoology connects with subjects such as Lumbar vertebrae.
Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Phylogeography of vertebrates on the Sunda Shelf: a multi‐species comparison (31 citations)
- Anatomy of Shoulder Girdle Muscle Modifications and Walking Adaptation in the Scaly Chinese Pangolin (Manis Pentadactyla Pentadactyla: Pholidota) Compared with the Partially Osteoderm-Clad Armadillos (Dasypodidae). (12 citations)
- Evolutionary Transformation of the Palmaris Longus Muscle in Flying Squirrels (Pteromyini: Sciuridae): An Anatomical Consideration of the Origin of the Uniquely Specialized Styliform Cartilage (7 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Richard W. Thorington focuses on Anatomy, Ecology, Pleistocene, Extinction and Habitat.
His work on Pisiform bone, Osteology and Patagium as part of general Anatomy study is frequently linked to Palmaris longus muscle, bridging the gap between disciplines.
In the field of Ecology, his study on Taxon overlaps with subjects such as Priority effect.
