What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Genetics
- Internal medicine
Robert Brooks spends much of his time researching Sexual selection, Mate choice, Evolutionary biology, Mating and Ecology.
His Sexual selection research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quantitative genetics, Genetics, Sexual attraction and Demography.
As a part of the same scientific family, Robert Brooks mostly works in the field of Demography, focusing on Offspring and, on occasion, Reproductive success.
In the subject of general Mate choice, his work in Mating preferences is often linked to Guppy, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Stabilizing selection, Genetic variation and Natural selection.
His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Zoology that intersect with issues in Reproduction and Fecundity.
His most cited work include:
- The evolution of mate choice and mating biases (704 citations)
- Lifespan and reproduction in Drosophila: New insights from nutritional geometry (702 citations)
- Unifying and Testing Models of Sexual Selection (411 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Sexual selection, Ecology, Mate choice, Mating and Demography.
His Sexual selection study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Offspring, Genetics and Attractiveness.
His Ecology course of study focuses on Zoology and Inbreeding.
His study in the field of Mating preferences also crosses realms of Guppy.
His work carried out in the field of Mating brings together such families of science as Fertility and Courtship.
His studies deal with areas such as Sex characteristics, Sexual dimorphism and Reproductive success as well as Demography.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sexual selection (36.41%)
- Ecology (27.65%)
- Mate choice (27.19%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Social psychology (11.52%)
- Mating (19.35%)
- Sexualization (3.69%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Social psychology, Mating, Sexualization, Mate choice and Demography.
His Social psychology research includes themes of Attractiveness and Family Sizes.
His studies in Mating integrate themes in fields like Quality, Life history and Reproduction.
His Mate choice study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology, Big Five personality traits, Masculinity and Facial symmetry.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Offspring, Sexual selection, Facial attractiveness and Sexual dimorphism in addition to Demography.
His work on Sexual selection is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Courtship.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Life history evolution, reproduction, and the origins of sex-dependent aging and longevity. (51 citations)
- The masculinity paradox: facial masculinity and beardedness interact to determine women's ratings of men's facial attractiveness (37 citations)
- Beards and the big city: displays of masculinity may be amplified under crowded conditions (32 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Genetics
- Internal medicine
Demography, Developmental psychology, Offspring, Mate choice and Facial hair are his primary areas of study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Young adult and Association.
His Mate choice research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Interpersonal communication, Life expectancy and Sexual dimorphism.
His work deals with themes such as Masculinity and Sexual selection, which intersect with Facial hair.
His Sexual selection research incorporates elements of Adaptation and Longevity.
The Senescence study combines topics in areas such as Mating and Reproduction.
