What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Rudolf A. Raff mainly investigates Sea urchin, Evolutionary biology, Cell biology, Ecology and Zoology.
His research integrates issues of Pluteus and Botany in his study of Sea urchin.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Heterochrony, Developmental biology, Deep homology and Evolutionary theory.
In general Cell biology study, his work on Embryo, Blastomere and Mitochondrion often relates to the realm of Non symbiotic, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
Rudolf A. Raff combines subjects such as Bacteria and Biofilm with his study of Ecology.
Rudolf A. Raff interconnects Metamorphosis, Larva, Relevance, Historical Article and Epistemology in the investigation of issues within Zoology.
His most cited work include:
- Evidence for a clade of nematodes, arthropods and other moulting animals. (1310 citations)
- Evo-devo: the evolution of a new discipline. (212 citations)
- The testis-specific β-tubulin subunit in Drosophila melanogaster has multiple functions in spermatogenesis (204 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Sea urchin, Cell biology, Evolutionary biology, Anatomy and Ecology.
His Sea urchin study combines topics in areas such as Larva, Gastrulation, Pluteus and Gene.
The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Messenger RNA and Protein biosynthesis.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Developmental biology, Phylogenetics, Echinoderm and Phylogenetic tree.
Within one scientific family, Rudolf A. Raff focuses on topics pertaining to Embryogenesis under Anatomy, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Yolk.
His Ecology research integrates issues from Organism, Body plan and Deuterostome.
He most often published in these fields:
- Sea urchin (52.78%)
- Cell biology (32.78%)
- Evolutionary biology (25.56%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2020)?

- Larva (18.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Rudolf A. Raff spends much of his time researching Ecology, Sea urchin, Larva, Pluteus and Embryo.
The concepts of his Sea urchin study are interwoven with issues in Gastrulation, Ectoderm and Anatomy.
His work deals with themes such as Developmental biology, Cell biology and Cell division, which intersect with Anatomy.
Rudolf A. Raff has included themes like Zoology, Marine invertebrates, Phylogenetics and Life history theory in his Larva study.
His research in Pluteus intersects with topics in Evolutionary biology and Coelom.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Paleontology and Heliocidaris.
Between 2004 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Cellular and subcellular structure of neoproterozoic animal embryos. (137 citations)
- Origins of the other metazoan body plans: the evolution of larval forms (95 citations)
- Embryo fossilization is a biological process mediated by microbial biofilms (80 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Evolutionary developmental biology, Ecology, Larva, Zoology and Embryo are his primary areas of study.
Evolutionary biology and Genetics are the focus of his Evolutionary developmental biology studies.
His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Biological evolution and Molecular clock.
His work on Taphonomy as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Fossilization, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Embryo is the subject of his research, which falls under Cell biology.
His studies in Metamorphosis integrate themes in fields like Sea urchin and Pluteus.
