Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Ecology
Genetics
Zoology

Ecology, Zoology, Host, Group membership and Social communication are her primary areas of study. Her is doing research in Iridescence, Thermoregulation and Plumage, both of which are found in Ecology. Her study on Zoology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Kittiwake.

Her Kittiwake study combines topics in areas such as Natural population growth, Cloaca, Rissa tridactyla and Bacteria, Microbial population biology. Her study on Group membership is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Sociality, Mongoose, Sexual maturity, Vertebrate and Dominance. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Olfaction and MHC class I, Major histocompatibility complex.

Her most cited work include:

Age-related differences in the cloacal microbiota of a wild bird species (94 citations)
Bacterial communities in meerkat anal scent secretions vary with host sex, age, and group membership (69 citations)
Bacterial communities in meerkat anal scent secretions vary with host sex, age, and group membership (69 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Ecology, Rissa tridactyla, Feather and Mate choice. Sarah Leclaire combines subjects such as Bacteria, Immune system and Reproductive success with her study of Zoology. Her work on Host, Olfactory cues and Brood as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Group membership, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

The various areas that Sarah Leclaire examines in her Rissa tridactyla study include Sex allocation, Sex ratio, Fledge, Hatchling and Integument. Her Feather research includes elements of Microbiome and Plumage. Her research integrates issues of Olfaction, Major histocompatibility complex and Kittiwake in her study of Mate choice.

She most often published in these fields:

Zoology (93.55%)
Ecology (82.26%)
Rissa tridactyla (51.61%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Zoology (93.55%)
Feather (59.68%)
Plumage (35.48%)

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

Her main research concerns Zoology, Feather, Plumage, Evolutionary biology and Major histocompatibility complex. Her biological study deals with issues like Rissa tridactyla, which deal with fields such as Sex allocation and Reproductive value. Her study in Feather is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Petrel, Sexual selection, Procellariidae, Melanin and Nocturnal.

Her work deals with themes such as Pollutant and Reproductive success, which intersect with Plumage. Sarah Leclaire has included themes like Olfaction, Mate choice, MHC class I and Halobaena caerulea in her Evolutionary biology study. Her Major histocompatibility complex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Avian clutch size and Hatching.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Plumage microbiota covaries with the major histocompatibility complex in blue petrels. (14 citations)
Plumage microbiota covaries with the major histocompatibility complex in blue petrels. (14 citations)
Experimental evidence of a sexually transmitted infection in a wild vertebrate, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) (3 citations)
