What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Stephen C. Stearns mostly deals with Evolutionary biology, Life history theory, Ecology, Zoology and Natural selection.
His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Altricial, Fecundity, Mortality rate, Phenotype and Evolutionary significance.
In his study, Evolution of ageing and Selection is strongly linked to Fertility, which falls under the umbrella field of Fecundity.
Stephen C. Stearns has included themes like Maturity, Precocial, Mammal, Lineage and Phenotypic plasticity in his Life history theory study.
His Maturity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Grandmother hypothesis, Genealogy and Evolutionary developmental psychology.
His Ecology research includes elements of Environmental ethics and Female age.
His most cited work include:
- The evolution of life histories (9967 citations)
- Life-history tactics: a review of the ideas. (2937 citations)
- Trade-offs in life-history evolution (1775 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Genetics, Life history theory and Selection.
His work in Evolutionary biology addresses issues such as Evolutionary physiology, which are connected to fields such as Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
Ecology is frequently linked to Environmental ethics in his study.
His studies examine the connections between Life history theory and genetics, as well as such issues in Phenotypic plasticity, with regards to Gene–environment interaction.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Pleiotropy, Demography, Demographic transition and Set in addition to Selection.
His work in Drosophila melanogaster tackles topics such as Fecundity which are related to areas like Zoology, Mortality rate, Longevity and Juvenile.
He most often published in these fields:
- Evolutionary biology (27.27%)
- Ecology (20.78%)
- Genetics (18.83%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Life history theory (16.88%)
- Selection (14.29%)
- Demography (4.55%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Stephen C. Stearns spends much of his time researching Life history theory, Selection, Demography, Evolutionary medicine and Genetics.
His Life history theory research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Judgement and Evolutionary psychology.
The various areas that Stephen C. Stearns examines in his Selection study include Genealogy and Demographic transition.
To a larger extent, Stephen C. Stearns studies Evolutionary biology with the aim of understanding Evolutionary medicine.
The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Molecular evolution and Life history.
His work on Pleiotropy, Quantitative trait locus and Gene dosage as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Genome-wide association study, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Evolutionary medicine: its scope, interest and potential (86 citations)
- Evolutionary public health: introducing the concept (85 citations)
- Constraints on the coevolution of contemporary human males and females (53 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Stephen C. Stearns mainly investigates Genetics, Natural selection, Life history theory, Evolutionary medicine and Demography.
The Genetics study combines topics in areas such as Human Males, Selection and Sexual dimorphism.
Stephen C. Stearns has researched Natural selection in several fields, including Sex characteristics and Population genetics.
His Life history theory study frequently links to related topics such as Gerontology.
In his research on the topic of Evolutionary medicine, Science education and Set is strongly related with Engineering ethics.
His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene dosage, Heritability of autism, Copy-number variation and Autism.
