What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Theo C. M. Bakker mostly deals with Gasterosteus, Mate choice, Ecology, Sexual selection and Stickleback.
Theo C. M. Bakker interconnects Zoology, Courtship, Aggression and Pomphorhynchus laevis, Intermediate host in the investigation of issues within Gasterosteus.
His work carried out in the field of Mate choice brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology and Paternal care.
He works mostly in the field of Ecology, limiting it down to topics relating to Attractiveness and, in certain cases, Animal ecology and Mate choice copying, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Sexual selection research incorporates elements of Reproduction, Genetic variation and Mating preferences.
His Three-spined stickleback study, which is part of a larger body of work in Stickleback, is frequently linked to Visually guided, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His most cited work include:
- Female sticklebacks use male coloration in mate choice and hence avoid parasitized males (735 citations)
- Cooperation through indirect reciprocity: image scoring or standing strategy? (232 citations)
- Costs influence sequential mate choice in sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus (227 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Gasterosteus, Zoology, Ecology, Stickleback and Mate choice are his primary areas of study.
Theo C. M. Bakker performs integrative study on Gasterosteus and Preference in his works.
His study explores the link between Zoology and topics such as Three-spined stickleback that cross with problems in Foraging.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Reproductive success and Ecology.
His work deals with themes such as Juvenile, Intraspecific competition and Aggression, which intersect with Stickleback.
His Mate choice study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Sexual selection and Inbreeding.
He most often published in these fields:
- Gasterosteus (56.41%)
- Zoology (53.21%)
- Ecology (50.00%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Zoology (53.21%)
- Stickleback (35.90%)
- Gasterosteus (56.41%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Stickleback, Gasterosteus, Predation and Cichlid.
His research integrates issues of Sperm, Three-spined stickleback, Foraging and Shoaling and schooling in his study of Zoology.
The various areas that Theo C. M. Bakker examines in his Stickleback study include Host and Evolutionary arms race.
His work on Sexual selection expands to the thematically related Gasterosteus.
His Sexual selection study combines topics in areas such as Human fertilization and Mating system.
His Predation research includes elements of Pomphorhynchus laevis, Intermediate host, Perch and Sexual dimorphism.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Neglected Patterns of Variation in Phenotypic Plasticity: Age- and Sex-Specific Antipredator Plasticity in a Cichlid Fish. (24 citations)
- Mate assessment behavior is correlated to learning ability in female threespine sticklebacks. (4 citations)
- Oddity, predation risk and social decisions in aquatic invertebrates (4 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Predation
- Genetics
Theo C. M. Bakker spends much of his time researching Zoology, Predation, Shoaling and schooling, Three-spined stickleback and Stickleback.
His study in Predation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cichlid, Pelvicachromis taeniatus and Sexual dimorphism.
His Shoaling and schooling study incorporates themes from Aquatic animal, Aquatic organisms and Parasitic infection.
Theo C. M. Bakker combines subjects such as Selfish herd theory and Foraging with his study of Three-spined stickleback.
His Shoal investigation overlaps with other areas such as Preference and Gasterosteus.
His research in Mate choice intersects with topics in Aggression, Competition and Predator.
