Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Insect

Scott K. Sakaluk mainly investigates Zoology, Mating, Ecology, Spermatophore and Spermatophylax. Many of his studies on Zoology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Sperm. Scott K. Sakaluk mostly deals with Sexual selection in his studies of Ecology.

His work carried out in the field of Spermatophore brings together such families of science as Courtship and Anatomy. His Spermatophylax research incorporates elements of Acheta, House cricket, Nymph and Field cricket. His research in Gryllodes sigillatus intersects with topics in Reproduction and Longevity.

His most cited work include:

  • Male crickets feed females to ensure complete sperm transfer (204 citations)
  • Gecko phonotaxis to cricket calling song: A case of satellite predation (157 citations)
  • FEMALE CONTROL OF SPERM TRANSFER AND INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN SPERM PRECEDENCE: ANTECEDENTS TO THE EVOLUTION OF A COURTSHIP FOOD GIFT. (124 citations)

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

Scott K. Sakaluk mainly focuses on Ecology, Zoology, Mating, Spermatophore and Sexual selection. His work on Mate choice, Orthoptera, Nest and Animal ecology as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Demography, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sperm and Paternal care.

The concepts of his Mating study are interwoven with issues in Preference and Reproduction. His Spermatophore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Acheta, Courtship and Anatomy, Ampulla. His study in Gryllodes sigillatus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Social psychology, Genetic variation, Mate guarding and Nutrient.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (60.74%)
  • Zoology (58.90%)
  • Mating (36.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Paternal care (12.27%)
  • Zoology (58.90%)
  • Demography (14.11%)

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

His main research concerns Paternal care, Zoology, Demography, Reproduction and Nest. In his works, Scott K. Sakaluk undertakes multidisciplinary study on Zoology and Begging. Scott K. Sakaluk integrates Demography and Ecology in his studies.

All of his Ecology and Sexual selection and Brood investigations are sub-components of the entire Ecology study. His Sexual selection study combines topics in areas such as Orthoptera and Mate choice. The various areas that Scott K. Sakaluk examines in his Reproduction study include Nutritional geometry, Physiology, Mating and Life history theory.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A dynamic threshold model for terminal investment. (47 citations)
  • The Geometry of Nutrient Space–Based Life-History Trade-Offs: Sex-Specific Effects of Macronutrient Intake on the Trade-Off between Encapsulation Ability and Reproductive Effort in Decorated Crickets (27 citations)
  • Pre‐ and postnatal effects of experimentally manipulated maternal corticosterone on growth, stress reactivity and survival of nestling house wrens (16 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genetics
  • Insect

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Zoology, Paternal care, Demography and Maternal effect. His Nutritional geometry, Nutrient intake, Mate choice, Sexual selection and Gryllodes sigillatus study are his primary interests in Ecology. His study looks at the relationship between Zoology and fields such as Burying beetle, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Maternal effect study deals with Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis intersecting with Nest. His Nest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cross-fostering and Predation. His Brood research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sex allocation, Sex ratio, Passerine, Breed and Nest box.
