Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Genetics

Robert Montgomerie mainly focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Sexual selection, Plumage and Mate choice. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Sperm and Demography. His Zoology research integrates issues from Supplemental food and Interspecific competition.

His Sexual selection study incorporates themes from Body mass index, Fluctuating asymmetry and Polygyny. Robert Montgomerie interconnects Finch, Passerine, Feather, Ptilonorhynchus and Adult male in the investigation of issues within Plumage. His Mate choice research incorporates elements of Sex characteristics and Social psychology.

His most cited work include:

  • RISKS AND REWARDS OF NEST DEFENCE BY PARENT BIRDS (652 citations)
  • Plumage Colour Signals Nutritional Condition in the House Finch (320 citations)
  • Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Zoology, Sperm competition, Sperm and Sexual selection. His Ecology study deals with Demography intersecting with Competition. His Zoology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Reproductive success.

His Sperm competition study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Energetics and Cichlid. His study in Sperm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Aquatic organisms and Human fertilization. In Plumage, he works on issues like Feather, which are connected to Carotenoid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (56.36%)
  • Zoology (48.48%)
  • Sperm competition (18.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Zoology (48.48%)
  • Ecology (56.36%)
  • Sexual selection (16.36%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Ecology, Sexual selection, Social psychology and Sperm competition. His studies deal with areas such as Lapland longspur, Natural selection, Lagopus and Reproduction as well as Zoology. Robert Montgomerie integrates several fields in his works, including Ecology and Latitude.

His Sexual selection research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Parental investment, Mate choice, Embryo and Animal ecology. His Sperm competition research integrates issues from Diversity, Oncorhynchus and Anatomy. His Sperm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Intraspecific competition, Human fertilization and Reproductive isolation.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)
  • The evolution of female ornaments and weaponry: social selection, sexual selection and ecological competition (274 citations)
  • Sexual selection is a form of social selection (137 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Zoology
  • Genetics

Robert Montgomerie mainly investigates Ecology, Sexual selection, Zoology, Mate choice and Social psychology. The study of Ecology is intertwined with the study of Lineage in a number of ways. The concepts of his Sexual selection study are interwoven with issues in American robin, Reproduction, Parental investment, Animal ecology and Nest.

His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Paternal care, Sperm, Oncorhynchus, Embryo and Human fertilization. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Eyespot and Courtship. His Social psychology research includes elements of Sex characteristics, Sexual conflict and Reproductive success.
