Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • Zoology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Zoology, Subspecies, Monophyly and Range. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Phylogeography and Parapatric speciation. His studies deal with areas such as Paraphyly, Sister group and Vicariance as well as Zoology.

His Subspecies research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genetic Speciation, Clade, Emydidae, Testudo graeca and Biological dispersal. His research integrates issues of Western Palaearctic, Giraffa camelopardalis, Masai giraffe, Giraffa and Genetic isolate in his study of Monophyly. His studies in Range integrate themes in fields like Species complex and Holocene.

His most cited work include:

  • Animal biodiversity: An outline of higher-level classification and survey of taxonomic richness (509 citations)
  • Checklist of Chelonians of the World (176 citations)
  • Mitochondrial phylogeography of the European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus 1758). (157 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Zoology, Ecology, Phylogeography, Subspecies and Emys orbicularis. The Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Phylogenetic tree. The various areas that he examines in his Ecology study include Gene flow and Biological dispersal.

Uwe Fritz works mostly in the field of Phylogeography, limiting it down to topics relating to Mitochondrial DNA and, in certain cases, Lineage, as a part of the same area of interest. Uwe Fritz combines subjects such as Sister group, Emydidae, Testudo graeca, Monophyly and Paraphyly with his study of Subspecies. Uwe Fritz usually deals with Emys orbicularis and limits it to topics linked to Holocene and Glacial period and Peninsula.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Zoology (45.00%)
  • Ecology (44.44%)
  • Phylogeography (23.33%)

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

  • Zoology (45.00%)
  • Evolutionary biology (13.33%)
  • Taxonomy (12.22%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Taxonomy, Ecology and Phylogeography. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Cytochrome b and Clade. His Taxonomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Eremias and Chelidae.

His Ecology study often links to related topics such as Biological dispersal. He focuses mostly in the field of Phylogeography, narrowing it down to matters related to Mitochondrial DNA and, in some cases, Geochelone elegans, Lineage and Intraspecific competition. In his research on the topic of Subspecies, Tortoise is strongly related with Holocene.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Turtles and Tortoises Are in Trouble (29 citations)
  • Species list of the European herpetofauna – 2020 update by the Taxonomic Committee of the Societas Europaea Herpetologica (22 citations)
  • Turtles of the genera Geoemyda and Pangshura (Testudines: Geoemydidae) lack differentiated sex chromosomes: the end of a 40-year error cascade for Pangshura. (15 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List

Uwe Fritz focuses on Taxonomy, Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Chelidae and Knowledge management. Uwe Fritz has researched Taxonomy in several fields, including Phylogeography, Phylogenetic tree, Mitochondrial DNA, Natrix and Massive parallel sequencing. His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Geoemydidae, Pangshura, Geoemyda, Constitutive heterochromatin and Geoemyda spengleri.

The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Vertebrate and Extinction. His Chelidae research incorporates elements of Microchromosome and X chromosome.
