Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

His main research concerns Botany, Sex pheromone, Pheromone, Organic chemistry and Pollinator. His work in Bark, Ophrys, Ophrys sphegodes, Hymenoptera and Nectar is related to Botany. To a larger extent, Wittko Francke studies Zoology with the aim of understanding Sex pheromone.

His work deals with themes such as Bark beetle, Toxicology, Animal ecology and Stereochemistry, Nonane, which intersect with Pheromone. Wittko Francke focuses mostly in the field of Organic chemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Chromatography and, in certain cases, Side chain, Absolute configuration, Derivative and Isopropyl. His work on Caladenia and Pseudocopulation as part of general Pollinator study is frequently linked to Dendrobium sinense, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Orchid pollination by sexual swindle (355 citations)
  • The Chemistry of Sexual Deception in an Orchid-Wasp Pollination System (256 citations)
  • Metabolism of dibenzo-p-dioxin by Sphingomonas sp. strain RW1. (234 citations)

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

Wittko Francke focuses on Botany, Sex pheromone, Pheromone, Stereochemistry and Zoology. His study in Terpene extends to Botany with its themes. His work in Sex pheromone is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Lepidoptera genitalia.

Wittko Francke has researched Pheromone in several fields, including Insect and Mating. His research integrates issues of Gas chromatography and Organic chemistry in his study of Stereochemistry. Zoology is frequently linked to Bombus terrestris in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (40.94%)
  • Sex pheromone (30.12%)
  • Pheromone (27.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Botany (40.94%)
  • Pheromone (27.53%)
  • Sex pheromone (30.12%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Pheromone, Sex pheromone, Zoology and Stereochemistry. Botany is a component of his Pollination, Pollinator, Insect, Hymenoptera and Entomology studies. His Pheromone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in PEST analysis, Terpene, Curculionidae and Bark.

The Sex pheromone study combines topics in areas such as Cecidomyiidae, Lepidoptera genitalia, Acanthoscelides and Competition. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Bombus terrestris and Odor. His research in Stereochemistry intersects with topics in Organic chemistry and Stereoselectivity.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Pollinator specificity, floral odour chemistry and the phylogeny of Australian sexually deceptive Chiloglottis orchids: implications for pollinator‐driven speciation (150 citations)
  • Serratia odorifera: analysis of volatile emission and biological impact of volatile compounds on Arabidopsis thaliana (107 citations)
  • Orchids Mimic Green-Leaf Volatiles to Attract Prey-Hunting Wasps for Pollination (103 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Insect

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Pollinator, Pollination, Pheromone and Sex pheromone. His Botany research includes themes of Zoology, Bioassay and Host. Wittko Francke interconnects Sympatric speciation and Reproductive isolation in the investigation of issues within Pollinator.

The concepts of his Pollination study are interwoven with issues in Natural product, Chemical mimicry and Nectar. The various areas that Wittko Francke examines in his Pheromone study include Aculeata, Terpene, Stereochemistry, PEST analysis and Bark. His Sex pheromone study incorporates themes from Cecidomyiidae and Entomology.
