1988 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Zoology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Ecology, Spermophilus, Sympatric speciation and Reproduction. His studies deal with areas such as Ground squirrel, Xerinae, Clade, Molecular clock and Molecular phylogenetics as well as Zoology. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of China and Reproductive success.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon, Paraphyly and Sympatry. His Sympatric speciation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Range, Niche, Competitive exclusion principle, Competitive exclusion and Habitat. His research integrates issues of Hibernaculum, Hibernation and Weaning in his study of Reproduction.

His most cited work include:

  • A Guide to the Mammals of China (331 citations)
  • Mammals of the Soviet Union (216 citations)
  • Nuclear DNA phylogeny of the squirrels (Mammalia: Rodentia) and the evolution of arboreality from c-myc and RAG1 (164 citations)

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

Robert S. Hoffmann mainly focuses on Zoology, Ecology, Spermophilus, Ground squirrel and Archaeology. Robert S. Hoffmann frequently studies issues relating to Taxon and Zoology. His Taxon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Species level and Sympatry.

His work on Grouse, Insectivora, Reproduction and Geographic distribution as part of general Ecology research is often related to Distribution, thus linking different fields of science. His Spermophilus study often links to related topics such as Sympatric speciation. His work on African ground squirrel is typically connected to Spermophilus brunneus as part of general Ground squirrel study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (75.65%)
  • Ecology (35.65%)
  • Spermophilus (12.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2018)?

  • Zoology (75.65%)
  • China (3.48%)
  • Ecology (35.65%)

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

His main research concerns Zoology, China, Ecology, Index and Fishery. His research in the fields of Crocidura overlaps with other disciplines such as Dorsum. The China study combines topics in areas such as Russula and White.

His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sorex tenellus and Species complex. His Fishery study combines topics in areas such as Forestry and Free ranging. His Paraphyly study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Otospermophilus, Xerinae, Ground squirrel, Spermophilus and Molecular clock.

Between 1999 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • A Guide to the Mammals of China (331 citations)
  • Nuclear DNA phylogeny of the squirrels (Mammalia: Rodentia) and the evolution of arboreality from c-myc and RAG1 (164 citations)
  • Phylogeny and Evolutionary History of the Ground Squirrels (Rodentia: Marmotinae) (117 citations)
