Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary areas of study are Paleontology, Ordovician, Acritarch, Paleozoic and Sea level. His Paleontology study incorporates themes from Biodiversity and Extinction event. His Ordovician research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Proterozoic, Palaeogeography, Reef, Biological dispersal and Gondwana.

His Acritarch research includes elements of Phytoplankton, Palynology, Baltica, Facies and Tremadocian. His research integrates issues of Ecology, Oceanography, Paleoecology, Zooplankton and Devonian in his study of Paleozoic. His Glacial period research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chitinozoan, Polar front and Pleistocene.

His most cited work include:

  • Ordovician and Silurian sea–water chemistry, sea level, and climate: A synopsis (222 citations)
  • The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE): The palaeoecological dimension (204 citations)
  • The Ordovician Biodiversification: revolution in the oceanic trophic chain (140 citations)

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

Thomas Servais mostly deals with Paleontology, Ordovician, Acritarch, Paleozoic and Biostratigraphy. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Paleontology, concentrating on Palynology and frequently concerns with Stage. His studies in Ordovician integrate themes in fields like Assemblage, Chitinozoan, Gondwana and Palaeogeography.

The Acritarch study which covers Permian that intersects with Extinction event. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Paleozoic, concentrating on Devonian and intersecting with Carboniferous. His study of First appearance datum is a part of Biostratigraphy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (89.52%)
  • Ordovician (65.24%)
  • Acritarch (51.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (89.52%)
  • Ordovician (65.24%)
  • Acritarch (51.90%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Ordovician, Acritarch, Paleozoic and Palynology. The Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Phytoplankton, Biodiversity and China. His Floian study in the realm of Ordovician interacts with subjects such as Event.

His study in Acritarch is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Craton, Katian, Cambro ordovician, Genus and Gondwana. His Paleozoic research integrates issues from Structural basin, Metamorphism and Sediment. His Palynology research incorporates themes from Organic matter, Sedimentary organic matter, Index fossil and Taxonomy, Type species.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) : definition, concept and duration (63 citations)
  • Age calibration of the Lower Ordovician Fezouata Lagerstätte, Morocco (20 citations)
  • Revisiting the Great Ordovician Diversification of land plants: Recent data and perspectives (14 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Paleontology, Ordovician, Biostratigraphy, Floian and Biodiversity are his primary areas of study. He combines topics linked to Plankton with his work on Paleontology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Marine invertebrates, Ecology and Extinction event in addition to Ordovician.

His research in Floian intersects with topics in Sedimentary depositional environment, Devonian, Paleoecology and Acritarch. The concepts of his Acritarch study are interwoven with issues in Baltica, Lower ordovician and Gondwana. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Marine life, Paleozoic, Taxon, Fauna and Facies.
