What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Wilhelm Foissner spends much of his time researching Ecology, Zoology, Ciliate, Biodiversity and Protozoa.
His study ties his expertise on Protist together with the subject of Ecology.
Wilhelm Foissner works mostly in the field of Zoology, limiting it down to topics relating to Phylogenetics and, in certain cases, Phylogenetic tree.
The various areas that Wilhelm Foissner examines in his Ciliate study include Taxon, Botany, Period and Biota.
His work carried out in the field of Biodiversity brings together such families of science as Silver impregnation and Global diversity.
His Taxonomy research incorporates themes from Hypotrich and Ciliata.
His most cited work include:
- Biogeography and Dispersal of Micro-organisms: A Review Emphasizing Protists (452 citations)
- Basic light and scanning electron microscopic methods for taxonomic studies of ciliated protozoa (400 citations)
- A user‐friendly guide to the ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) commonly used by hydrobiologists as bioindicators in rivers, lakes, and waste waters, with notes on their ecology (371 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Wilhelm Foissner mostly deals with Zoology, Ciliate, Ecology, Botany and Anatomy.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phylogenetics, Protozoa and Phylogenetic tree.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ciliate, Colpoda is strongly linked to Colpodea.
His Ecology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Protist.
His study in Anatomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Oral apparatus and Basal body.
His study looks at the intersection of Taxonomy and topics like Ciliata with Morphogenesis.
He most often published in these fields:
- Zoology (34.30%)
- Ciliate (34.30%)
- Ecology (23.47%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?
- Ciliate (34.30%)
- Genus (19.13%)
- Phylogenetic tree (10.11%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Ciliate, Genus, Phylogenetic tree, Botany and Zoology.
His Ciliate study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Ecology.
His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Protist and Sewage.
Wilhelm Foissner combines subjects such as Brazilian population, Subspecies, Leptopharynx and Anatomy with his study of Genus.
As a member of one scientific family, Wilhelm Foissner mostly works in the field of Botany, focusing on Hypotrich and, on occasion, Dorsum.
His Zoology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dileptus, Dileptus margaritifer and Molecular phylogenetics.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- An update of ‘basic light and scanning electron microscopic methods for taxonomic studies of ciliated protozoa’ (115 citations)
- Soil protistology rebooted: 30 fundamental questions to start with (57 citations)
- Class Cariacotrichea, a novel ciliate taxon from the anoxic Cariaco Basin, Venezuela (47 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Phylogenetic tree, 18S ribosomal RNA, Ciliate and Zoology.
His work on Ciliated protozoa as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Bristle, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His studies in Phylogenetic tree integrate themes in fields like Taxon, Ribosomal RNA, Phylogenetics and Oral apparatus.
His research in Ciliate intersects with topics in Clade, Subgenus and Biogeography.
Wilhelm Foissner studied Zoology and Molecular phylogenetics that intersect with Genus.
Wilhelm Foissner mostly deals with Bioindicator in his studies of Ecology.
