Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Evolutionary biology, Drosophila melanogaster, Genetics, Longevity and Life history theory. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology and Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Linkage disequilibrium. His Linkage disequilibrium study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Adaptation and Experimental evolution.

His Drosophila melanogaster research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Caenorhabditis elegans, Fecundity, Trade-off, Juvenile hormone and Regulation of gene expression. Thomas Flatt studied Genetics and Cline that intersect with Gene and Genome. His Longevity study incorporates themes from Allometry, Reproduction, Growth regulation, Body size and Drosophila.

His most cited work include:

  • Hormonal pleiotropy and the juvenile hormone regulation of Drosophila development and life history (366 citations)
  • The evolutionary genetics of canalization. (334 citations)
  • Size and shape: the developmental regulation of static allometry in insects. (262 citations)

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

His main research concerns Evolutionary biology, Drosophila melanogaster, Genetics, Adaptation and Longevity. He has researched Evolutionary biology in several fields, including Cline, Genetic variation, Drosophila and Local adaptation. He combines subjects such as Reproduction, Allele, Experimental evolution and Cell biology with his study of Drosophila melanogaster.

His Genetics study deals with Juvenile hormone intersecting with Metamorphosis. Thomas Flatt has included themes like Fecundity, Natural selection and Phenotypic plasticity in his Adaptation study. His Longevity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Senescence, Immunosenescence and Neuroscience.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (49.61%)
  • Drosophila melanogaster (51.16%)
  • Genetics (29.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (49.61%)
  • Drosophila melanogaster (51.16%)
  • Adaptation (25.58%)

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

Evolutionary biology, Drosophila melanogaster, Adaptation, Genetic variation and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Ageing, Gene, Multicellular organism, Reproduction and Longevity. His Longevity study which covers Genome that intersects with Population genetics and Computational biology.

His work on Drosophila as part of general Drosophila melanogaster study is frequently connected to Chromosomal inversion, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His studies deal with areas such as Growing season, Allele frequency, Temperate climate and Phenotypic plasticity as well as Adaptation. His work in Genetic variation tackles topics such as Local adaptation which are related to areas like Candidate gene.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolutionary genomics can improve prediction of species’ responses to climate change (33 citations)
  • Broad geographic sampling reveals predictable, pervasive, and strong seasonal adaptation in Drosophila (29 citations)
  • The adaptive significance of chromosomal inversion polymorphisms in Drosophila melanogaster (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Drosophila melanogaster, Evolutionary biology, Adaptation, Population genomics and Genetics. Thomas Flatt interconnects Growing season, Temperate climate, PAX6, Regulator and Mechanism in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology. His Adaptation study combines topics in areas such as Quantitative genetics, Evolutionary dynamics, Allele frequency and Drosophila.

His research integrates issues of Chromosome, Genetic variation, Local adaptation and Candidate gene in his study of Population genomics. His work on Mutant, Genomics and Allele as part of his general Genetics study is frequently connected to Insulin receptor, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Transcription factor research incorporates themes from Developmental biology, Sensory system, Olfactory system and Effector.
