Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuroscience
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Astatotilapia burtoni, Endocrinology, Cichlid, Internal medicine and Zoology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Developmental psychology, Haplochromis, Social relation and Neolamprologus. His Endocrinology study which covers Neuropeptide that intersects with Rhesus macaque, Macaque, Pituitary gland and Parvocellular cell.

He combines subjects such as Phenotypic plasticity, Preoptic area, Neuroscience and Reproductive success with his study of Cichlid. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Testosterone, Challenge hypothesis, 11-Ketotestosterone, Developmental genes and Soma. The concepts of his Gonadotropin-releasing hormone study are interwoven with issues in Gene expression and Astatotilapia.

His most cited work include:

  • Comprehensive Algorithm for Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (958 citations)
  • The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish (634 citations)
  • Genes and Social Behavior (421 citations)

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

Russell D. Fernald mainly focuses on Cichlid, Astatotilapia burtoni, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Zoology. The various areas that Russell D. Fernald examines in his Cichlid study include Evolutionary biology, Territoriality, Aggression and Anatomy. In his research, Immediate early gene is intimately related to Neuroscience, which falls under the overarching field of Astatotilapia burtoni.

Endocrinology connects with themes related to Receptor in his study. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Soma and Gene expression. His work investigates the relationship between Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and topics such as Peptide sequence that intersect with problems in Complementary DNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cichlid (35.44%)
  • Astatotilapia burtoni (32.49%)
  • Endocrinology (23.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Astatotilapia burtoni (32.49%)
  • Cichlid (35.44%)
  • Evolutionary biology (15.19%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astatotilapia burtoni, Cichlid, Evolutionary biology, Social status and Internal medicine. Russell D. Fernald interconnects Genetics, Receptor, Developmental psychology, Hormone and Neuroscience in the investigation of issues within Astatotilapia burtoni. His Cichlid research includes themes of Zoology, Courtship, Courtship display, Adaptive radiation and Aggression.

His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome, Gene and Mating. His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Gene expression. Russell D. Fernald has researched Gonadotropin-releasing hormone in several fields, including PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, Hypothalamus and Pituitary gland.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish (634 citations)
  • Social Regulation of Gene Expression in the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis (96 citations)
  • Social information changes the brain (86 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Neuroscience

Russell D. Fernald focuses on Astatotilapia burtoni, Cichlid, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Zoology. His study in Astatotilapia burtoni is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology, Courtship, Gonad, Sensory cue and Dominance hierarchy. His work deals with themes such as Developmental psychology, Territoriality, Hormone and Evolutionary biology, which intersect with Cichlid.

His studies examine the connections between Evolutionary biology and genetics, as well as such issues in Genetics, with regards to Sexual dimorphism. His study in the fields of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Receptor and PER2 under the domain of Internal medicine overlaps with other disciplines such as Phodopus. His work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Tilapia, Lineage, Nile tilapia, Oreochromis and Neolamprologus.
