Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Shuhai Xiao mainly investigates Paleontology, Doushantuo Formation, Proterozoic, Acritarch and Taphonomy. His study in Period, Cap carbonate, Marinoan glaciation, Trace fossil and Diamictite is done as part of Paleontology. His Doushantuo Formation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sedimentary rock, Seawater, Total organic carbon and Algae.

His Proterozoic research includes elements of Biodiversity, Sponge spicule, Geochronology, Precambrian and Zircon. His Taphonomy study incorporates themes from Biota, Diagenesis and Pyrite. His research integrates issues of Siliciclastic and Lagerstätte in his study of Diagenesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Three-dimensional preservation of algae and animal embryos in a Neoproterozoic phosphorite (584 citations)
  • Pulsed oxidation and biological evolution in the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation (406 citations)
  • On the eve of animal radiation: phylogeny, ecology and evolution of the Ediacara biota. (318 citations)

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

His main research concerns Paleontology, Doushantuo Formation, Taphonomy, Acritarch and Ecology. Shuhai Xiao regularly ties together related areas like Biota in his Paleontology studies. His studies deal with areas such as Facies, Geochemistry, Diagenesis and Algae as well as Doushantuo Formation.

His Taphonomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Siliciclastic, Lagerstätte, Pyrite, Authigenic and Paleoecology. While the research belongs to areas of Glacial period, Shuhai Xiao spends his time largely on the problem of Diamictite, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cap carbonate. His Proterozoic research includes themes of Sedimentary rock, Tonian and Precambrian.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (66.79%)
  • Doushantuo Formation (31.05%)
  • Taphonomy (14.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Paleontology (66.79%)
  • Doushantuo Formation (31.05%)
  • Geochemistry (11.55%)

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

Paleontology, Doushantuo Formation, Geochemistry, Ecology and Tonian are his primary areas of study. Paleontology connects with themes related to Biota in his study. His Doushantuo Formation research incorporates elements of Climate change, Period and Mercury deposition.

His work on Diagenesis, Authigenic, Metamorphic rock and Petrography as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Phosphorite, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research in Tonian intersects with topics in Structural basin, Precambrian, Proterozoic and Bacteria. His research in Siliciclastic focuses on subjects like Lantian formation, which are connected to Taphonomy and Paleoecology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Calibrating the terminations of Cryogenian global glaciations (48 citations)
  • Death march of a segmented and trilobate bilaterian elucidates early animal evolution (34 citations)
  • Global marine redox changes drove the rise and fall of the Ediacara biota. (27 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Shuhai Xiao spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Period, Acritarch, Terminal and Evolutionary biology. The various areas that Shuhai Xiao examines in his Paleontology study include Marine ecosystem and Type species. His Period study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geologic record, Fossil evidence and Seafloor spreading, Oceanography, Anoxic waters.

Shuhai Xiao has researched Acritarch in several fields, including Biota, Identification and Doushantuo Formation. His work deals with themes such as Range, Biozone, Stratotype and Glacial period, Marinoan glaciation, which intersect with Doushantuo Formation. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Convergent evolution and Tunicate.
