What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Scott M. Lanyon focuses on Phylogenetic tree, Zoology, Phylogenetics, Evolutionary biology and Ecology.
With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Phylogenetic tree and Comparative method.
His work deals with themes such as Cytochrome b, Polyphyly, Monophyly and Molecular phylogenetics, which intersect with Zoology.
His Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from Systematics and Biological evolution.
Scott M. Lanyon interconnects Character evolution and Clade in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.
His Bunting, Seasonal breeder and Habitat study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Quality.
His most cited work include:
- DETECTING INTERNAL INCONSISTENCIES IN DISTANCE DATA (216 citations)
- Reconstructing plumage evolution in orioles (Icterus): repeated convergence and reversal in patterns. (152 citations)
- Going to extremes: contrasting rates of diversification in a recent radiation of new world passerine birds. (143 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Zoology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Evolutionary biology and Ecology are his primary areas of study.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxon and Monophyly.
His work on Cytochrome b, Sister group and Paraphyly as part of general Phylogenetic tree research is often related to Branching, thus linking different fields of science.
Scott M. Lanyon has researched Phylogenetics in several fields, including Systematics, DNA sequencing and Sequence.
His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Character evolution, Mammal, Molecular evolution and Morphology.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Genetic distance and Polygyny.
He most often published in these fields:
- Zoology (56.67%)
- Phylogenetic tree (41.67%)
- Phylogenetics (36.67%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2016)?
- Zoology (56.67%)
- Clade (16.67%)
- Ecology (25.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Zoology, Clade, Ecology, Phylogenetics and Phylogenetic tree.
He has included themes like Taxon and Tropics in his Zoology study.
His work carried out in the field of Clade brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology and Phaeothlypis.
His work on Range, Temperate climate and Tropical climate as part of his general Ecology study is frequently connected to Latitude, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
His work in Phylogenetics addresses issues such as Evolutionary dynamics, which are connected to fields such as Coding region and Population genetics.
In the subject of general Phylogenetic tree, his work in Molecular clock is often linked to Gene tree, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
Between 2006 and 2016, his most popular works were:
- Going to extremes: contrasting rates of diversification in a recent radiation of new world passerine birds. (143 citations)
- A comprehensive multilocus phylogeny for the wood-warblers and a revised classification of the Parulidae (Aves). (100 citations)
- Phylogenetics and diversification of tanagers (Passeriformes: Thraupidae), the largest radiation of Neotropical songbirds. (98 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Scott M. Lanyon mainly focuses on Evolutionary biology, Monophyly, Clade, Ecology and Convergent evolution.
Many of his studies on Evolutionary biology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Passerine.
His Passerine research includes themes of Vertebrate and Molecular clock, Phylogenetic tree.
His research integrates issues of Range, Sporophila, Darwin's finches and Character evolution in his study of Convergent evolution.
His Cardellina research incorporates Vermivora, Phylogenetics, Phaeothlypis, Basileuterus and Myiothlypis.
He merges Vermivora with Zoology in his study.
