Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Crustacean

Zoology, Ecology, Climate change, Taxonomy and Phylogenetics are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Corydoras ehrhardti, Incipient speciation, Gyrodactylus, Host and Gill in addition to Zoology. In most of his Ecology studies, his work intersects topics such as Genetic structure.

The concepts of his Climate change study are interwoven with issues in Global biodiversity, Development economics and Biosphere. His Taxonomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dactylogyridae, Percoidei, Synapomorphy, Teleostei and Cladistics. The Phylogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Pseudorhabdosynochus, Calydiscoides and Echinoplectanum.

His most cited work include:

  • Neotropical Monogenoidea. 41: New and previously described species of Dactylogyridae (Platyhelminthes) from the gills of marine and freshwater perciform fishes (Teleostei) with proposal of a new genus and a hypothesis on phylogeny (73 citations)
  • Mode of transmission, host switching, and escape from the Red Queen by viviparous gyrodactylids (Monogenoidea). (36 citations)
  • Histopathology of the mangrove land crab Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae) affected by lethargic crab disease. (35 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Zoology, Taxonomy, Dactylogyridae and Teleostei. His Ocypodidae, Mangrove and Ucides cordatus study in the realm of Ecology interacts with subjects such as Genetic variability. He combines subjects such as Sister group, Gyrodactylus, Monogenea, Phylogenetic tree and Amazon rainforest with his study of Zoology.

He regularly links together related areas like Phylogenetics in his Taxonomy studies. His research in Dactylogyridae intersects with topics in Characiformes and Characidae. His Teleostei research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Animal ecology, Ergasilus, Gill and Anatomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (41.79%)
  • Zoology (36.57%)
  • Taxonomy (14.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Ecology (41.79%)
  • General interest (6.72%)
  • Zoology (36.57%)

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

Walter A. Boeger mainly focuses on Ecology, General interest, Zoology, Climate change and Demographic history. Walter A. Boeger connects Ecology with Genetic variability in his research. He interconnects Catfish, Gyrodactylus, Amazon rainforest and Gill in the investigation of issues within Zoology.

His work on Dactylogyridae as part of general Gill research is frequently linked to Biotodoma cupido, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Storm, Biodiversity, Anthropocene and Environmental resource management. His work carried out in the field of Demographic history brings together such families of science as Coastal plain, Bay and Mimagoniates microlepis.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Stockholm Paradigm: Climate Change and Emerging Disease (29 citations)
  • Arctic systems in the Quaternary: ecological collision, faunal mosaics and the consequences of a wobbling climate. (24 citations)
  • Hidden danger: Unexpected scenario in the vector-parasite dynamics of leishmaniases in the Brazil side of triple border (Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay). (18 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Crustacean

Walter A. Boeger focuses on Ecology, Climate change, Endemism, Demographic history and Estuary. Among his Ecology studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Context and Quaternary. His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Development economics and Coevolution.

He combines subjects such as Phylogeography, Bay, Genetic diversification and Mimagoniates microlepis with his study of Endemism. His Demographic history research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Effective population size, Freshwater fish, Coastal plain, Cytochrome b and Sea level. The Estuary study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Continental shelf.
