What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetic variation, Genetics, Natural selection, Pasteuria ramosa and Ecology.
Tom J. Little combines subjects such as Red Queen hypothesis, Host and Genetic diversity with his study of Genetic variation.
His work on Effector expands to the thematically related Genetics.
He has researched Natural selection in several fields, including RNA, Drosophila melanogaster and Innate immune system.
His studies in Pasteuria ramosa integrate themes in fields like Acquired immune system, Pathogen, Secondary infection and Phenotypic plasticity.
His Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Zoology, Anopheles gambiae, Immune system and Malaria transmission.
His most cited work include:
- Genetic variation in a host-parasite association: potential for coevolution and frequency-dependent selection. (420 citations)
- Maternal Transfer of Strain-Specific Immunity in an Invertebrate (283 citations)
- Immunity in a variable world. (281 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Tom J. Little mainly investigates Genetics, Pasteuria ramosa, Ecology, Zoology and Genetic variation.
His Genetics research includes themes of Evolutionary biology and Natural selection.
His Pasteuria ramosa study incorporates themes from Host, Immune system and Microbiology.
While the research belongs to areas of Ecology, he spends his time largely on the problem of Polyploid, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Arctic and Apomixis.
His work deals with themes such as Fecundity, Juvenile, Sexual reproduction and Parasitism, which intersect with Zoology.
His research in Genetic variation intersects with topics in Genetic diversity, Genetic variability, Microparasite, Linkage disequilibrium and Red Queen hypothesis.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (47.17%)
- Pasteuria ramosa (35.85%)
- Ecology (30.19%)

- Genetics (47.17%)
- DNA methylation (5.66%)
- Epigenetics (4.72%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Tom J. Little mostly deals with Genetics, DNA methylation, Epigenetics, Gene and Maternal effect.
His Genetics research includes elements of Diverse population and Population genetics.
His Epigenetics study incorporates themes from Methylation and Ageing.
His study of Gene expression is a part of Gene.
His work focuses on many connections between RNA-Seq and other disciplines, such as Metagenomics, that overlap with his field of interest in Genome and Evolutionary biology.
His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Organism, Pathogen and Age structure.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Daphnia magna transcriptome by RNA-Seq across 12 environmental stressors (66 citations)
- Bigger is better: changes in body size explain a maternal effect of food on offspring disease resistance. (15 citations)
- Mitogenome phylogeographic analysis of a planktonic crustacean. (13 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Tom J. Little mainly focuses on Maternal effect, Genome, Evolutionary biology, Age structured and Disease.
He integrates several fields in his works, including Maternal effect, Mechanism, Crowding, Host, Immune system and Toxicology.
Within the field of Gene and Genetics he studies Genome.
His work deals with themes such as Range, RNA-Seq, Population genetics, Genetic diversity and Mitochondrial DNA, which intersect with Evolutionary biology.
His Age structured research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology, Senescence and Epidemiology.
