What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Biochemistry
- Ecology
- Insect
Rhodnius prolixus, Anatomy, Moulting, Insect and Biochemistry are his primary areas of study.
Vincent Brian Wigglesworth works in the field of Rhodnius prolixus, focusing on Rhodnius in particular.
His Anatomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Central nervous system and Cell biology.
His Moulting research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Arthropod cuticle, Corpus allatum, Metamorphosis, Nymph and Wax.
The study of Insect is intertwined with the study of Cuticle in a number of ways.
The concepts of his Malpighian tubule system study are interwoven with issues in Excretory system and Insect physiology.
His most cited work include:
- The principles of insect physiology (1585 citations)
- The Principles of Insect Physiology. (336 citations)
- Memoirs: The Physiology of Ecdysis in Rhodnius Prolixus (Hemiptera). II. Factors controlling Moulting and ‘Metamorphosis’ (321 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Vincent Brian Wigglesworth mainly investigates Anatomy, Insect, Zoology, Rhodnius prolixus and Biochemistry.
His Anatomy study which covers Malpighian tubule system that intersects with Excretory system.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Physiology and Cell biology in addition to Insect.
His Zoology research integrates issues from Larva, Metamorphosis and Insect physiology.
His work carried out in the field of Rhodnius prolixus brings together such families of science as Hemiptera, Reduviidae and Moulting.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chromatography and Sodium.
He most often published in these fields:
- Anatomy (19.35%)
- Insect (17.74%)
- Zoology (14.52%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1966-2009)?
- Insect physiology (7.26%)
- Insect (17.74%)
- Ecology (8.06%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Insect physiology, Insect, Ecology, Juvenile hormone and Cell biology.
His Insect physiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zoology, Entomology, Ancient history and Evolutionary biology.
Vincent Brian Wigglesworth performs integrative Insect and Household goods research in his work.
His Olfaction and Ecology study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Insect flight and Vertebrate, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Juvenile hormone research focuses on subjects like Physiology, which are linked to Endocrine system and Ventral nerve cord.
His study in the field of Cytoplasm is also linked to topics like Vitelline membrane.
Between 1966 and 2009, his most popular works were:
- Evolution of Insect Wings and Flight (53 citations)
- How does a Fly Cling to The Under Surface of a Glass Sheet (41 citations)
- Cytological changes in the fat body of Rhodnius during starvation, feeding and oxygen want. (35 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Biochemistry
- Ecology
- Insect
Vincent Brian Wigglesworth spends much of his time researching Insect, Malaria, Anopheles, Biochemistry and Cytoplasm.
His Insect study is concerned with Ecology in general.
Vincent Brian Wigglesworth combines subjects such as Rural area, Agriculture, Ceylon and Tamil with his study of Malaria.
The various areas that Vincent Brian Wigglesworth examines in his Biochemistry study include Glutaraldehyde and Chromatography.
Cytoplasm is a primary field of his research addressed under Cell biology.
His research in the fields of Vacuole, Mitosis and Nucleolus overlaps with other disciplines such as Acid phosphatase.
