Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Caecilian, Gymnophiona, Zoology and Biodiversity. His Caecilian research incorporates themes from Evolutionary biology and Morphology. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Lissamphibia, Typhlonectidae and Caeciliidae.

His Gymnophiona study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Larva. His work in the fields of Zoology, such as Oviparity, overlaps with other areas such as Parental investment. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Wildlife conservation, Ecology and Endemism.

His most cited work include:

  • THE AMPHIBIAN TREE OF LIFE (1668 citations)
  • The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World’s Vertebrates (972 citations)
  • Predicting distributions of known and unknown reptile species in Madagascar (436 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Ecology, Gymnophiona, Caecilian and Squamata. Within one scientific family, Ronald A. Nussbaum focuses on topics pertaining to Monophyly under Zoology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Molecular phylogenetics. His work is connected to Rainforest, Taxon, Biodiversity, Endemism and Amphibian, as a part of Ecology.

Gymnophiona is often connected to Anatomy in his work. His Caecilian study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Skull and Oviparity. His work deals with themes such as Mabuya, Cordylidae, Colubridae and Biogeography, which intersect with Squamata.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (53.64%)
  • Ecology (44.55%)
  • Gymnophiona (32.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

  • Zoology (53.64%)
  • Caecilian (21.82%)
  • Ecology (44.55%)

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

Ronald A. Nussbaum mainly investigates Zoology, Caecilian, Ecology, Gymnophiona and Systematics. His studies deal with areas such as Amphibian and Monophyly as well as Zoology. Ronald A. Nussbaum interconnects Tree of life, Lissamphibia and Yolk in the investigation of issues within Amphibian.

His Caecilian research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Larva and Morphology. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Allopatric speciation and Colubroidea. His Gymnophiona research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Taxonomy, Herpetology and Anatomy.

Between 2005 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • THE AMPHIBIAN TREE OF LIFE (1668 citations)
  • The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World’s Vertebrates (972 citations)
  • Aligning Conservation Priorities Across Taxa in Madagascar with High-Resolution Planning Tools (420 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

His main research concerns Caecilian, Gymnophiona, Ecology, Zoology and Evolutionary biology. His study deals with a combination of Caecilian and Temporal Regions. He combines subjects such as Process, Quadrate bone, Skull and Anatomy with his study of Gymnophiona.

The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Allopatric speciation and Cladogenesis. His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Amphibian and Larva. Evolutionary biology is closely attributed to Lissamphibia in his work.
