What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Steven R. Leigh spends much of his time researching Zoology, Primate, Ecology, Microbiome and Ontogeny.
The Sexual dimorphism research Steven R. Leigh does as part of his general Zoology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Adult size, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His research in Primate focuses on subjects like Range, which are connected to Ecology.
His work in the fields of Ecology, such as Host and Seasonality, overlaps with other areas such as Context.
His Microbiome course of study focuses on Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and Human microbiome.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolutionary biology, Human evolution, Central nervous system, Period and Phylogenetics.
His most cited work include:
- Habitat degradation impacts black howler monkey ( Alouatta pigra ) gastrointestinal microbiomes (622 citations)
- Brain growth, life history, and cognition in primate and human evolution. (262 citations)
- Patterns of variation in the ontogeny of primate body size dimorphism (203 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Zoology, Microbiome, Primate, Ecology and Ontogeny.
His studies deal with areas such as Lemur and Gorilla as well as Zoology.
He interconnects Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Host and Metagenomics in the investigation of issues within Microbiome.
His Primate research includes elements of Life history theory, Reproductive success, 16S ribosomal RNA and Phylogenetic tree.
His biological study deals with issues like Prevotellaceae, which deal with fields such as Captivity.
His study in Ontogeny is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Allometry, Interspecific competition, Juvenile, Papio hamadryas and Life history.
He most often published in these fields:
- Zoology (63.87%)
- Microbiome (47.06%)
- Primate (36.97%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

- Zoology (63.87%)
- Gorilla (27.73%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Steven R. Leigh focuses on Microbiome, Zoology, Gorilla, Evolutionary biology and Host.
His research integrates issues of Niche, Phylogenetics, Ecological niche and Metagenomics in his study of Microbiome.
His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Prevotellaceae, Sociality and Primate.
His work deals with themes such as Old World and Phylogenetic tree, which intersect with Primate.
His Gorilla research also works with subjects such as
- Alpha diversity which is related to area like Ontogeny,
- Gastrointestinal Microbiome together with Taxon.
His Host research integrates issues from Feces and Captivity.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Evolutionary trends in host physiology outweigh dietary niche in structuring primate gut microbiomes. (92 citations)
- Global phylogeography and ancient evolution of the widespread human gut virus crAssphage (71 citations)
- The gut microbiome of nonhuman primates: Lessons in ecology and evolution. (42 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Microbiome, Evolutionary biology, Human health, Ecology and Evolutionary ecology.
His studies in Microbiome integrate themes in fields like Niche, Phylogeography, Phylogenetics, Clade and Old World.
His Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ecological niche, Function, Host, Physiology and Metagenomics.
Steven R. Leigh has included themes like Phylogenetic tree, Taxonomic composition, Foraging, Human gut and Generalist and specialist species in his Evolutionary biology study.
He integrates many fields, such as Human health and Gut microbiome, in his works.
