What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Ecology
- World War II
- Internal medicine
Reproductive success, Demography, Offspring, Natural selection and Fertility are her primary areas of study.
Her Reproductive success research includes elements of Developmental psychology, Sibling, Singleton, Archipelago and Mainland China.
Her studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Life expectancy, Famine, Endocrinology and Longevity.
The concepts of her Offspring study are interwoven with issues in Grandmother hypothesis, Internal medicine and Ecology, Reproduction.
Her research in Natural selection tackles topics such as Life history theory which are related to areas like Heritability, Genetic correlation, Social class and Evolutionary biology.
Her study looks at the intersection of Fertility and topics like Fecundity with Sex allocation and Maternal risk.
Her most cited work include:
- Fitness benefits of prolonged post-reproductive lifespan in women (370 citations)
- Fitness benefits of prolonged post-reproductive lifespan in women (370 citations)
- Early development, survival and reproduction in humans (258 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Virpi Lummaa mainly investigates Demography, Offspring, Reproductive success, Fertility and Ecology.
Her Demography research incorporates elements of Pregnancy, Fecundity, Natural selection, Reproduction and Longevity.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Grandmother hypothesis, Senescence and Birth weight.
Her Reproductive success study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Sibling, Sexual selection, Mate choice and Life history theory.
Her work on Demographic transition as part of general Fertility study is frequently connected to Reproduction, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
Her studies deal with areas such as Survivorship curve and Birth rate as well as Ecology.
She most often published in these fields:
- Demography (58.18%)
- Offspring (32.12%)
- Reproductive success (29.09%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Demography (58.18%)
- Fertility (27.27%)
- Asian elephant (6.06%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Virpi Lummaa focuses on Demography, Fertility, Asian elephant, Elephas and Term.
Her Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Offspring, Ageing, Affect and Reproductive success.
She interconnects Human evolution and Life history in the investigation of issues within Offspring.
Her work deals with themes such as Sibling, Younger sibling and Birth intervals, which intersect with Reproductive success.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Evolutionary biology, Animal Welfare, Mammal, Kinship and Evolutionary significance.
Virpi Lummaa works mostly in the field of Sexual dimorphism, limiting it down to topics relating to Nematode and, in certain cases, Reproduction.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Long-term trends in wild-capture and population dynamics point to an uncertain future for captive elephants. (13 citations)
- Evolutionary significance of maternal kinship in a long-lived mammal. (10 citations)
- Investigating changes within the handling system of the largest semi-captive population of Asian elephants. (10 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- World War II
- Internal medicine
Virpi Lummaa spends much of her time researching Demography, Fertility, Asian elephant, Term and Reproductive success.
Her Demography research incorporates themes from Reproduction, Longevity, Altruism, Grandmother hypothesis and Mechanism.
Her research integrates issues of Entomology and Mating preferences in her study of Reproduction.
Her Fertility study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Group conflict, Immigration, Refugee, Socioeconomic status and Social capital.
Her study in Asian elephant is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Globulin, Hematocrit, Blood pressure and Population study.
Her Reproductive success research integrates issues from Offspring and Ageing, Evolution of ageing.
