Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Vincenzo Petrarca focuses on Anopheles gambiae, Ecology, Reproductive isolation, Sympatric speciation and Genetics. His Anopheles gambiae research incorporates elements of Evolutionary biology, Chromosomal inversion, Polytene chromosome, Incipient speciation and Taxon. In his study, Intergradation and Cytogenetics is inextricably linked to Intraspecific competition, which falls within the broad field of Chromosomal inversion.

His research brings together the fields of Gene flow and Ecology. Vincenzo Petrarca combines subjects such as Adaptation and Allele with his study of Reproductive isolation. Vincenzo Petrarca focuses mostly in the field of Sympatric speciation, narrowing it down to matters related to Vector and, in some cases, Mangrove, Host, Assortative mating, Genotype and Gene mutation.

His most cited work include:

  • Chromosomal differentiation and adaptation to human environments in the Anopheles gambiae complex (606 citations)
  • A polytene chromosome analysis of the Anopheles gambiae species complex. (389 citations)
  • Chromosomal inversion intergradation and incipient speciation in Anopheles gambiae (297 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Anopheles gambiae, Malaria, Ecology, Genetics and Zoology. The Anopheles gambiae study combines topics in areas such as Evolutionary biology, Chromosomal inversion, Polytene chromosome, Sympatric speciation and Gene flow. His Chromosomal inversion study incorporates themes from Chromosome breakage, Intraspecific competition and Breakpoint.

His work on Plasmodium falciparum as part of his general Malaria study is frequently connected to Transmission, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. Vincenzo Petrarca has researched Ecology in several fields, including Anopheles, Vector, Incipient speciation and Reproductive isolation. His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cytotaxonomy and Anopheles gambiae S.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anopheles gambiae (68.69%)
  • Malaria (32.32%)
  • Ecology (32.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Anopheles gambiae (68.69%)
  • Genetics (24.24%)
  • Evolutionary biology (18.18%)

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

Vincenzo Petrarca mainly investigates Anopheles gambiae, Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Chromosomal inversion and Hybrid zone. His Anopheles gambiae research entails a greater understanding of Malaria. His work carried out in the field of Evolutionary biology brings together such families of science as Ecology, Sympatric speciation, Species complex and Reproductive isolation.

His research ties Incipient speciation and Ecology together. His Chromosomal inversion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tag SNP, Genotyping and Genotype. The various areas that Vincenzo Petrarca examines in his Hybrid zone study include Anopheles, Selective sweep, Haplogroup and Introgression.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Dissecting functional components of reproductive isolation among closely related sympatric species of the Anopheles gambiae complex. (24 citations)
  • New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas (17 citations)
  • Evaluation of a protocol for remote identification of mosquito vector species reveals BG-Sentinel trap as an efficient tool for Anopheles gambiae outdoor collection in Burkina Faso (16 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Anopheles gambiae, Mosquito control, Ecology, Evolutionary biology and Culex. Vincenzo Petrarca performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Anopheles gambiae and Transmission via his papers. Vincenzo Petrarca has researched Mosquito control in several fields, including Vector, Biotechnology, Medical entomology and Wet season.

His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Species complex and Reproductive isolation. Vincenzo Petrarca combines subjects such as Gene flow, Ecological speciation, Incipient speciation, Introgression and Adaptation with his study of Evolutionary biology. His Culex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Toxicology, Aedes albopictus, Nuisance, Culex pipiens and Aedes.
