Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Dinosauromorpha, Archosaur, Silesauridae and Pseudosuchia. Paleontology is closely attributed to Extinction event in his study. His Dinosauromorpha research is within the category of Sauropodomorpha.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Archosaur, Zoology are connected with Sister group, Asilisaurus, Laurasia, Chañares Formation and Ghost lineage and other disciplines. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Dinosauriformes and Silesauridae. His Pseudosuchia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Postcrania, Archosauromorpha and Archosauriformes.

His most cited work include:

  • The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (494 citations)
  • The origin and early radiation of dinosaurs (188 citations)
  • Ecologically distinct dinosaurian sister group shows early diversification of Ornithodira (179 citations)

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

Sterling J. Nesbitt mostly deals with Paleontology, Taxon, Archosaur, Anatomy and Zoology. His work in Paleontology addresses issues such as Pseudosuchia, which are connected to fields such as Archosauriformes and Arizonasaurus. His research on Archosaur also deals with topics like

  • Postcrania and related Synapomorphy,
  • Clade together with Assemblage.

Sterling J. Nesbitt has included themes like Ecology, Sister group and Coelophysis bauri in his Zoology study. He usually deals with Silesauridae and limits it to topics linked to Dinosauriformes and Chañares Formation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolution of dinosaurs and Theropoda.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (69.44%)
  • Taxon (38.19%)
  • Archosaur (35.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Paleontology (69.44%)
  • Taxon (38.19%)
  • Anatomy (21.53%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Taxon, Anatomy, Evolutionary biology and Archosaur. His Paleontology research includes elements of Osteology and Pseudosuchia. His study on Taxonomic rank is often connected to Limited sampling as part of broader study in Taxon.

Sterling J. Nesbitt has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Silesauridae, Dinosauriformes, Proterochampsia and Archosauriformes. His Silesauridae research integrates issues from Dinosauromorpha, Character evolution and Chañares Formation. In most of his Archosaur studies, his work intersects topics such as Erpetosuchus.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Enigmatic dinosaur precursors bridge the gap to the origin of Pterosauria (10 citations)
  • The Anatomy of Asilisaurus kongwe, a Dinosauriform from the Lifua Member of the Manda Beds (~Middle Triassic) of Africa. (10 citations)
  • New Specimen Sheds Light on the Anatomy and Taxonomy of the Early Late Triassic Dinosauriforms from the Chanares Formation, NW Argentina (10 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anatomy, Paleontology, Pseudosuchia, Postcrania and Mesozoic. The study incorporates disciplines such as Taxonomy, Silesauridae and Chañares Formation in addition to Anatomy. His Silesauridae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Holotype, Dinosauriformes and Premaxilla.

His Paleontology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fauna and Ornithosuchidae. His study on Pseudosuchia is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Archosaur. His Mesozoic course of study focuses on Skull and Taxon.
