Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Ecology

Walter G. Joyce focuses on Turtle, Cryptodira, Paleontology, Zoology and Clade. His Turtle study introduces a deeper knowledge of Ecology. Walter G. Joyce works mostly in the field of Cryptodira, limiting it down to topics relating to Anatomy and, in certain cases, Trionychidae.

Paleontology is often connected to Genus in his work. His studies deal with areas such as Phylogenetic nomenclature and Monophyly as well as Zoology. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Clade, focusing on Molecular clock and, on occasion, Divergence and Proganochelys.

His most cited work include:

  • Best practices for justifying fossil calibrations (442 citations)
  • DEVELOPING A PROTOCOL FOR THE CONVERSION OF RANK-BASED TAXON NAMES TO PHYLOGENETICALLY DEFINED CLADE NAMES, AS EXEMPLIFIED BY TURTLES (302 citations)
  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Mesozoic Turtles (263 citations)

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

Walter G. Joyce mostly deals with Paleontology, Turtle, Taxon, Cretaceous and Ecology. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trionychidae, Baenidae, Clade and Holotype. His Turtle research includes elements of Zoology, Skull, Anatomy and Cryptodira.

Walter G. Joyce has researched Zoology in several fields, including Evolutionary biology, Testudinata and Paracryptodira. His work in Taxon addresses subjects such as Palatobaena, which are connected to disciplines such as Plesiobaena and Gamerabaena. His work on Paleogene and Pleurodira as part of general Cretaceous study is frequently connected to Gilmoremys, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (72.06%)
  • Turtle (62.50%)
  • Taxon (51.47%)

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

  • Turtle (62.50%)
  • Paleontology (72.06%)
  • Cretaceous (33.09%)

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

Walter G. Joyce mainly focuses on Turtle, Paleontology, Cretaceous, Clade and Zoology. His study in Turtle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Testudinoidea and Paleogene. Paleontology is closely attributed to Holotype in his work.

His work deals with themes such as Trionychidae, Trionychinae, Baenidae and Group, which intersect with Cretaceous. Walter G. Joyce interconnects Evolutionary biology and Biogeography in the investigation of issues within Clade. His Zoology study also includes

  • Subfossil together with Dodo and Cylindraspis,
  • Fauna that intertwine with fields like Taxon, Melanochelys tricarinata and Eurysternum.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Review of the Fossil Record of Nonbaenid Turtles of the Clade Paracryptodira (11 citations)
  • Comparative analysis of the shape and size of the middle ear cavity of turtles reveals no correlation with habitat ecology. (10 citations)
  • A re-description of Sandownia harrisi (Testudinata: Sandownidae) from the Aptian of the Isle of Wight based on computed tomography scans (7 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Paleontology
  • Ecology

Walter G. Joyce mainly investigates Clade, Biogeography, Aptian, Monophyly and Taxon. His Clade research includes themes of Zoology and Cretaceous. His research integrates issues of Biological dispersal and Compsemys in his study of Cretaceous.

His Aptian study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cranial anatomy, Wight, Anatomy, Paleogene and Testudinata. His study looks at the intersection of Monophyly and topics like Postcrania with Baenidae and Paracryptodira. The concepts of his Taxon study are interwoven with issues in Turtle, Fossil Record and Middle ear.
