What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- Zoology
- Predation
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cichlid, Ecology, Neolamprologus pulcher, Zoology and Cooperative breeding.
Her Cichlid study combines topics in areas such as High testosterone, Empirical evidence, Cognitive psychology and Dominance.
Many of her studies on Ecology apply to Sperm as well.
Her Neolamprologus pulcher study incorporates themes from Social psychology, Social group, Reproduction, Territoriality and Biological dispersal.
Her Zoology research integrates issues from Androgen, 11-Ketotestosterone, Aggression and Paternal care.
Her study in Cooperative breeding is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Animal ecology, Kin selection and Sex ratio.
Her most cited work include:
- Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality (280 citations)
- Female promiscuity promotes the evolution of faster sperm in cichlid fishes. (209 citations)
- Correlates of group size in a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish ( Neolamprologus pulcher ) (200 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Ecology, Cichlid, Zoology, Neolamprologus pulcher and Cooperative breeding are her primary areas of study.
In her study, Sexual selection is strongly linked to Reproductive success, which falls under the umbrella field of Ecology.
Her work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Group living, Polygyny, Oxytocin and Dominance hierarchy, which intersect with Cichlid.
Her Zoology research includes elements of Sperm, Reproduction, Paternal care and Porichthys notatus.
Her work investigates the relationship between Paternal care and topics such as Nest that intersect with problems in Brood.
Her work investigates the relationship between Neolamprologus pulcher and topics such as Social group that intersect with problems in Biological dispersal.
She most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (46.95%)
- Cichlid (40.85%)
- Zoology (37.20%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Zoology (37.20%)
- Porichthys notatus (14.02%)
- Paternal care (17.07%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Sigal Balshine mainly focuses on Zoology, Porichthys notatus, Paternal care, Neolamprologus pulcher and Cichlid.
Her Zoology research incorporates elements of Redside dace, Restoration ecology, Neogobius, Round goby and Reproduction.
Her studies in Porichthys notatus integrate themes in fields like Midshipman fish, Sperm, Intertidal zone and Nest.
The Neolamprologus pulcher study combines topics in areas such as Social psychology and Group living.
Her work in Social psychology addresses subjects such as Cooperative breeding, which are connected to disciplines such as Mating system, Evolutionary biology, Confounding and Social relation.
Her Cichlid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Associative learning, Neolamprologus caudopunctatus, Aggression and Glucocorticoid.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Metabolic implications of exposure to wastewater effluent in bluegill sunfish (11 citations)
- Emerging investigator series: use of behavioural endpoints in the regulation of chemicals. (10 citations)
- Social buffering of stress in a group-living fish (9 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Zoology
- Predation
Her main research concerns Zoology, Aggression, Porichthys notatus, Midshipman fish and Fishery.
Her work carried out in the field of Aggression brings together such families of science as Regulation of chemicals, Population level, Neolamprologus pulcher and Social group.
Sigal Balshine has included themes like Arginine Vasotocin, Group living and Cichlid in her Social group study.
Her Porichthys notatus research incorporates themes from Sperm, Sperm competition and Paternal care.
The concepts of her Sperm study are interwoven with issues in Marine fish and Reproduction.
Her Fishery research includes themes of Green sunfish, Lepomis, Neogobius and Round goby.
