Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Genetics

Sonia Kleindorfer focuses on Ecology, Philornis downsi, Nest, Philornis and Darwin's finches. Her is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by her studies on Brood, Small ground finch and Altricial. Her Philornis downsi research is classified as research in Zoology.

Her study looks at the intersection of Zoology and topics like Host with Body condition, Sexual selection, Habitat and Larva. Her research integrates issues of Malurus and Predation in her study of Nest. Sonia Kleindorfer combines subjects such as Intraspecific competition, Ectoparasitism and Interspecific competition with her study of Philornis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Embryonic Learning of Vocal Passwords in Superb Fairy-Wrens Reveals Intruder Cuckoo Nestlings (122 citations)
  • An experimental study on the effects of an introduced parasite in Darwin's finches. (93 citations)
  • The life-cycle of Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) parasitizing Darwin's finches and its impacts on nestling survival (86 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Zoology, Philornis downsi, Darwin's finches and Nest. Her Ecology study frequently involves adjacent topics like Paternal care. Her research in Zoology focuses on subjects like Allopatric speciation, which are connected to Gene flow and Parapatric speciation.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mating and Philornis. Her Darwin's finches research also works with subjects such as

  • Adaptive radiation which intersects with area such as Microbiome,
  • Introduced species most often made with reference to Habitat. In the field of Nest, her study on Fledge overlaps with subjects such as Begging.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (57.96%)
  • Zoology (50.32%)
  • Philornis downsi (27.39%)

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

  • Zoology (50.32%)
  • Darwin's finches (29.94%)
  • Camarhynchus (19.11%)

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

Sonia Kleindorfer mainly focuses on Zoology, Darwin's finches, Camarhynchus, Philornis downsi and Finch. Her Zoology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Protocalliphora and Philornis. Her studies in Darwin's finches integrate themes in fields like Microbiome, Adaptive radiation and Larval behaviour.

The various areas that Sonia Kleindorfer examines in her Philornis downsi study include Evolutionary biology, Muscidae, Fecundity selection and Genetic diversity. Her Habitat study is concerned with the field of Ecology as a whole. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, her work on Nest site, Predation and Nest is frequently linked to work in Species identification, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Host phylogeny, diet, and habitat differentiate the gut microbiomes of Darwin's finches on Santa Cruz Island (11 citations)
  • Neural activation in response to conspecific songs in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) embryos and nestlings. (7 citations)
  • Introduced parasite changes host phenotype, mating signal and hybridization risk: Philornis downsi effects on Darwin's finch song (6 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Habitat

Sonia Kleindorfer spends much of her time researching Zoology, Darwin's finches, Camarhynchus, Finch and Philornis downsi. Her work in the fields of Zoology, such as Precocial, overlaps with other areas such as Physiological responses. Her Darwin's finches research includes themes of Microbiome and Adaptive radiation.

Her Camarhynchus research includes elements of Evolutionary biology, Genetic diversity and Genetic admixture. Her Finch research incorporates themes from Medium tree finch and Plumage. Her Philornis downsi research is under the purview of Host.
