What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Robb T. Brumfield mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree and Genetics.
His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Cline, Hybrid zone, Introgression, Foothills and Biogeography.
His Ecology research includes themes of Genetic Speciation, Allopatric speciation, Biological dispersal and Ecological speciation.
His Phylogenetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genome and Competition.
While the research belongs to areas of Clade, he spends his time largely on the problem of Zoology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Neognathae and Palaeognathae.
His work investigates the relationship between Phylogeography and topics such as Population genetics that intersect with problems in Microsatellite, Genetic variation and Passerina.
His most cited work include:
- Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds (1174 citations)
- Ultraconserved elements anchor thousands of genetic markers spanning multiple evolutionary timescales. (678 citations)
- The utility of single nucleotide polymorphisms in inferences of population history (523 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Zoology, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics.
His work deals with themes such as Hybrid zone, Molecular phylogenetics, Taxon, Coalescent theory and Systematics, which intersect with Evolutionary biology.
His Ecology research incorporates themes from Phylogeography and Allopatric speciation.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sister group, Clade, Polyphyly and Monophyly.
His Phylogenetic tree study which covers Taxonomy that intersects with Epinecrophylla.
