Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogeography. His study in the fields of Gallotia galloti under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Variation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Taxon, Multivariate analysis, Principal component analysis and Mitochondrial DNA.

His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Calloselasma rhodostoma and Viperidae. He interconnects Trimeresurus, Phylogenetics and Martinique in the investigation of issues within Phylogenetic tree. His Phylogeography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gecko, Amazonian, Amazon rainforest and Sympatric speciation.

His most cited work include:

  • Diet and snake venom evolution (488 citations)
  • BIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION AND RACIAL AFFINITIES (319 citations)
  • Validation of the barcoding gene COI for use in forensic genetic species identification. (235 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree and Mitochondrial DNA. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Natural selection, Allopatric speciation and Phylogeography. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Trimeresurus and Species complex.

The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Anolis, Cytochrome b, Martinique and Microsatellite. His research integrates issues of Trimeresurus stejnegeri and Phylogenetics in his study of Phylogenetic tree. In general Mitochondrial DNA, his work in Nuclear DNA is often linked to Restriction fragment length polymorphism linking many areas of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (44.25%)
  • Zoology (37.93%)
  • Evolutionary biology (31.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Ecology (44.25%)
  • Evolutionary biology (31.61%)
  • Zoology (37.93%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Range and Phylogeography. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Natural selection and Martinique. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Allopatric speciation, Population genetics, Genetic diversity, Phylogenetic tree and Sympatry.

The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Ordination, Phylogenetics, Geographic variation and Species complex. His Range research includes elements of Biotic component, Subspecies, Canonical analysis, Natrix and Mainland. In his work, Haplotype and Founder effect is strongly intertwined with Anolis, which is a subfield of Phylogeography.

Between 2008 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • A biometric study of the effects of growth on the analysis of geographic variation: Tooth number in Green geckos (Reptilia: Phelsuma) (81 citations)
  • Morphometric studies in inbred and hybrid House mice (Mus sp.): Multivariate analysis of size and shape (75 citations)
  • Genetic tests for ecological and allopatric speciation in anoles on an island archipelago (63 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Gene

Roger S. Thorpe spends much of his time researching Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Ecology, Principal component analysis and Multivariate analysis. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Range, Clade, Incipient speciation, Parapatric speciation and Ecological speciation. A large part of his Zoology studies is devoted to Systematics.

His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetic diversity, Phylogeography and Natural selection. His work focuses on many connections between Principal component analysis and other disciplines, such as Morphometrics, that overlap with his field of interest in Ordination. His Multivariate analysis research incorporates themes from Canonical analysis, Boaedon fuliginosus and Hybrid, Heterosis.
