What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Extinction
Roger B. J. Benson mainly investigates Paleontology, Ecology, Theropoda, Biodiversity and Zoology.
His work on Cretaceous, Plesiosauria, Sauropterygia and Tetrapod as part of general Paleontology study is frequently linked to Extinction, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Ecology and Therapsid are frequently intertwined in his study.
His Tetanurae and Megalosauroidea study in the realm of Theropoda connects with subjects such as Ceratosauria.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Geologic record, Climate change, Adaptive radiation and Temperate climate in addition to Biodiversity.
His research investigates the connection between Zoology and topics such as Monophyly that intersect with problems in Sister group, Paraphyly and Pliosauroidea.
His most cited work include:
- Rates of dinosaur body mass evolution indicate 170 million years of sustained ecological innovation on the avian stem lineage. (210 citations)
- The phylogeny of Tetanurae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) (201 citations)
- Mesozoic marine tetrapod diversity: mass extinctions and temporal heterogeneity in geological megabiases affecting vertebrates (156 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Roger B. J. Benson mainly focuses on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Theropoda.
His study on Mesozoic, Sauropterygia and Plesiosauria is often connected to Extinction event and Extinction as part of broader study in Paleontology.
His studies deal with areas such as Biogeography, Gondwana, Laurasia and Apex predator as well as Cretaceous.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Geologic record and Tetrapod.
His research investigates the link between Evolutionary biology and topics such as Clade that cross with problems in Zoology.
The various areas that Roger B. J. Benson examines in his Theropoda study include Postcrania and Anatomy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Paleontology (63.21%)
- Cretaceous (27.98%)
- Ecology (27.46%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Evolutionary biology (23.32%)
- Paleontology (63.21%)
- Amniote (3.63%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Evolutionary biology, Paleontology, Amniote, Mesozoic and Group are his primary areas of study.
His Evolutionary biology research focuses on subjects like Convergent evolution, which are linked to Macroevolution, Ecomorphology, Niche and Herbivore.
Roger B. J. Benson regularly links together related areas like Sampling in his Paleontology studies.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Parareptilia, Permian, Lineage and Varanopidae.
His research in Mesozoic intersects with topics in Paleogene, Postcrania, Cursorial and Turtle, Testudinata.
His Group research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biostratigraphy, Upper Elliot Formation, Supergroup and Assemblage.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The phylogeny of early amniotes and the affinities of Parareptilia and Varanopidae. (25 citations)
- A chronostratigraphic framework for the upper Stormberg Group: Implications for the Triassic-Jurassic boundary in southern Africa (18 citations)
- A chronostratigraphic framework for the upper Stormberg Group: Implications for the Triassic-Jurassic boundary in southern Africa (18 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology

- Extinction
His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Paleontology, Amniote, Group and Bearing.
His Evolutionary biology research incorporates elements of Range, Marsupial, Forelimb and Interspecific competition.
Elliot Formation, Structural basin, Assemblage, Supergroup and Biostratigraphy are subfields of Paleontology in which his conducts study.
His Amniote research incorporates themes from Parareptilia, Permian, Lineage and Varanopidae.
Roger B. J. Benson combines subjects such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Magnetostratigraphy, Upper Elliot Formation and Fauna with his study of Group.
Roger B. J. Benson incorporates Bearing and Ontogeny in his studies.
