What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, DNA barcoding and Molecular phylogenetics.
His Ecology study often links to related topics such as Species complex.
His research integrates issues of Phylogenetic tree, Taxon, Polyphyly, Strepsiptera and Leptidea in his study of Evolutionary biology.
His Biodiversity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both White, Leptidea reali, Leptidea sinapis and Speciation.
His DNA barcoding study incorporates themes from Butterfly and Fauna.
Roger Vila has included themes like Zoology, Coliadinae and Belenois in his Molecular phylogenetics study.
His most cited work include:
- Phylogeny of the Ants: Diversification in the Age of Angiosperms (606 citations)
- Synergistic effects of combining morphological and molecular data in resolving the phylogeny of butterflies and skippers (224 citations)
- Factors affecting species delimitations with the GMYC model: insights from a butterfly survey (187 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Roger Vila mostly deals with Ecology, Butterfly, Evolutionary biology, Zoology and Lepidoptera genitalia.
His Ecology research includes elements of Phylogeography, Biological dispersal and Species complex.
His study on Butterfly also encompasses disciplines like
- Insect migration that connect with fields like Vanessa cardui,
- Taxon which connect with Species richness.
Roger Vila is studying DNA barcoding, which is a component of Evolutionary biology.
Roger Vila combines subjects such as Molecular phylogenetics, Monophyly and Lycaenidae with his study of Zoology.
His work carried out in the field of Lepidoptera genitalia brings together such families of science as Taxonomy and Forestry.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (51.43%)
- Butterfly (24.57%)
- Evolutionary biology (24.57%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Butterfly (24.57%)
- Ecology (51.43%)
- Evolutionary biology (24.57%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Butterfly, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Genetic diversity and Species complex are his primary areas of study.
He has researched Butterfly in several fields, including Lepidoptera genitalia, Fauna, Habitat and Phylogenetic tree.
His study in Lepidoptera genitalia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Critically endangered and Life history.
His Ecology study frequently links to other fields, such as Biological dispersal.
His Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Sympatric speciation, Coalescent theory, Genetic drift, Gene flow and Leptidea.
His Species complex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bacterial artificial chromosome, Autosome, Systematics, Taxonomy and Wolbachia.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The determinants of genetic diversity in butterflies (24 citations)
- A mirage of cryptic species: Genomics uncover striking mitonuclear discordance in the butterfly Thymelicus sylvestris (24 citations)
- Integrating three comprehensive data sets shows that mitochondrial DNA variation is linked to species traits and paleogeographic events in European butterflies. (23 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Roger Vila mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Butterfly, Ecology, Genetic diversity and Species complex.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genomics, Melitaea didyma, Mitochondrial DNA and Introgression.
The Butterfly study combines topics in areas such as Mediterranean climate, Plant senescence and Vegetation.
His Ecology study frequently links to related topics such as Citizen science.
His Genetic diversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biodiversity, Biological dispersal and Peninsula.
His work deals with themes such as Phylogenetic tree, Propagule, Population size, DNA barcoding and Genetic variation, which intersect with Biodiversity.
