Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Zoology and Taxon. His work on Biodiversity, Biogeography, Old World and Plumage as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Diversification, bridging the gap between disciplines. While the research belongs to areas of Biodiversity, Robert G. Moyle spends his time largely on the problem of Genetic Speciation, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Tectonics, Genomics and Songbird.

His research investigates the connection between Phylogenetic tree and topics such as Archipelago that intersect with issues in Genus, Pleistocene and Adaptive radiation. Zoology connects with themes related to Clade in his study. His Monophyly study incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology, Phylogenomics, Piranga and DNA sequencing.

His most cited work include:

  • Explosive Pleistocene diversification and hemispheric expansion of a “great speciator” (209 citations)
  • Single origin of a pan-Pacific bird group and upstream colonization of Australasia (170 citations)
  • Tectonic collision and uplift of Wallacea triggered the global songbird radiation. (135 citations)

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

Ecology, Zoology, Phylogenetic tree, Evolutionary biology and Clade are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogeography and Biological dispersal in addition to Ecology. His Zoology research incorporates elements of Taxon and Molecular phylogenetics.

His Taxon study combines topics in areas such as Phylogenetic nomenclature and Insular biogeography. His research in Phylogenetic tree intersects with topics in Phylogenetics and Mitochondrial DNA. His Clade study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rainforest, Pantropical and Subfamily.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.80%)
  • Zoology (42.40%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (33.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (29.60%)
  • Clade (28.80%)
  • Ecology (40.80%)

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

Robert G. Moyle spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Clade, Ecology, Phylogenetic tree and Zoology. Clade is a subfield of Phylogenetics that he tackles. His Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Biological dispersal.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biological dispersal, Subspecies, Taxon and Brachypteryx is strongly linked to Passerine. His Phylogenetic tree study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Taxonomy and Land bridge. As part of his studies on Zoology, Robert G. Moyle often connects relevant areas like Rainforest.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Earth history and the passerine superradiation (77 citations)
  • A Phylogenomic Supertree of Birds (32 citations)
  • Near-complete phylogeny and taxonomic revision of the world's babblers (Aves: Passeriformes). (19 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

His primary scientific interests are in Clade, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics and Biodiversity. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology, Pantropical, Genus, Range and Rainforest. His work deals with themes such as Disjunct, Trogon, Land bridge and Laurasia, which intersect with Phylogenetic tree.

His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Species richness, Tropical biodiversity, Tropics, Species diversity and Hotspot. His Biodiversity research entails a greater understanding of Ecology. Robert G. Moyle frequently studies issues relating to Genetic Speciation and Ecology.
