What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Stephen A. Smith spends much of his time researching Phylogenetics, Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree and Molecular evolution.
His Phylogenetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Taxon and Genome.
His study explores the link between Ecology and topics such as Genetic Speciation that cross with problems in Punctuated equilibrium, Vertebrate, Evolution of fish, Genetic algorithm and Evolvability.
In the subject of general Evolutionary biology, his work in Comparative biology is often linked to Mnemiopsis, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
The Phylogenetic tree study combines topics in areas such as Genomics, Source code and Code.
Life history theory, Woody plant, Pollen and Eudicots is closely connected to Clade in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Molecular evolution.
His most cited work include:
- Broad phylogenomic sampling improves resolution of the animal tree of life (1525 citations)
- Maximum likelihood inference of geographic range evolution by dispersal, local extinction, and cladogenesis. (1441 citations)
- Three keys to the radiation of angiosperms into freezing environments (805 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Stephen A. Smith focuses on Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Ecology and Clade.
His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Tree of life, Caryophyllales, Genome, Coalescent theory and Phylogenomics.
He combines subjects such as Data mining, Taxon, Inference, Eudicots and GenBank with his study of Phylogenetic tree.
The various areas that Stephen A. Smith examines in his Phylogenetics study include Comparative biology and Genomics.
His work on Biodiversity, Biogeography, Niche and Ecosystem as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Geography, bridging the gap between disciplines.
In the field of Clade, his study on Monophyly and Sister group overlaps with subjects such as Paleopolyploidy.
He most often published in these fields:
- Evolutionary biology (40.79%)
- Phylogenetic tree (39.47%)
- Phylogenetics (36.84%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Evolutionary biology (40.79%)
- Phylogenetic tree (39.47%)
- Phylogenetics (36.84%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenetics, Coalescent theory and Genome.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phylogenomics, Clade, Lineage, Macroevolution and Gene.
His Phylogenetic tree research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Taxon and Biogeography.
His work carried out in the field of Taxon brings together such families of science as Vertebrate and Molecular phylogenetics.
His Phylogenetics research focuses on Molecular evolution in particular.
His study looks at the relationship between Biodiversity and topics such as Phylogenetic diversity, which overlap with Endemism.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Plastid phylogenomic insights into the evolution of Caryophyllales. (33 citations)
- An r package and online resource for macroevolutionary studies using the ray‐finned fish tree of life (26 citations)
- Spatial Phylogenetics of Florida Vascular Plants: The Effects of Calibration and Uncertainty on Diversity Estimates. (24 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Stephen A. Smith mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Phylogenomics and Genome.
His work on Gene expands to the thematically related Evolutionary biology.
His Phylogenetics research includes elements of Biodiversity and Biogeography.
His Phylogenetic tree research integrates issues from GenBank, Ecological niche, Biota and Python.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Phylogenomics, focusing on Coalescent theory and, on occasion, Monophyly and Genomics.
His study in Genome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Character evolution, Asterids and Aquifoliales.
