2016 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Mammal
  • Anatomy

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Mammal, Mammaliaformes, Placentalia and Theria. In general Zoology, his work in Metatheria and Trechnotheria is often linked to Monophyly, Australosphenida and Cenozoic linking many areas of study. He performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Mammal and Evolution of mammals via his papers.

He integrates many fields in his works, including Mammaliaformes, Insectivore and Evolutionary biology. Placentalia is a subfield of Clade that Zhe-Xi Luo investigates. His Theria research spans across into areas like Eutheria and Marsupial.

His most cited work include:

  • The Placental Mammal Ancestor and the Post–K-Pg Radiation of Placentals (756 citations)
  • Mammals from the Age of Dinosaurs: Origins, Evolution, and Structure (590 citations)
  • The earliest known eutherian mammal (371 citations)

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

Zhe-Xi Luo mainly investigates Anatomy, Mammal, Paleontology, Evolutionary biology and Zoology. Zhe-Xi Luo has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Morganucodon and Mandible. His Mammal study deals with Cretaceous intersecting with Radiometric dating.

His work carried out in the field of Paleontology brings together such families of science as Whale, Cetacea, Archaeoceti and China. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology and Morphology. His work on Metatheria as part of general Zoology study is frequently linked to Mammaliaformes, Placentalia, Cenozoic and Australosphenida, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (41.75%)
  • Mammal (38.83%)
  • Paleontology (27.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Anatomy (41.75%)
  • Mammal (38.83%)
  • Paleontology (27.18%)

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

Anatomy, Mammal, Paleontology, Middle ear and Mandible are his primary areas of study. His work on Inner ear as part of general Anatomy research is frequently linked to Evolution of mammals and Docodonta, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study connects Mammaliaformes and Evolution of mammals.

His studies in Mammal integrate themes in fields like Dentition and Cretaceous. His Cretaceous research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Zoology, Vertebral column, Spine, Integumentary system and Integument. Zhe-Xi Luo combines subjects such as X ray computed, Tomography and Tomography x ray computed with his study of Paleontology.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An arboreal docodont from the Jurassic and mammaliaform ecological diversification (79 citations)
  • Mandibular and dental characteristics of Late Triassic mammaliaform Haramiyavia and their ramifications for basal mammal evolution (72 citations)
  • New evidence for mammaliaform ear evolution and feeding adaptation in a Jurassic ecosystem (51 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Mammal
  • Anatomy

Zhe-Xi Luo mostly deals with Anatomy, Ecology, Zoology, Basal and Cretaceous. Zhe-Xi Luo combines Anatomy and Evolution of mammals in his research. Within one scientific family, Zhe-Xi Luo focuses on topics pertaining to Evolutionary biology under Ecology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Platypus.

His work on Zoology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Evolutionary developmental biology. His Cretaceous study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Period, Spine, Dentition, Mammal and Biogeography. His Mammal research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Integumentary system, Vertebral column and Integument.
