Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Cretaceous

Zhonghe Zhou focuses on Paleontology, Enantiornithes, Feathered dinosaur, Jiufotang Formation and Archaeopteryx. He has researched Paleontology in several fields, including Chine and Maniraptora. The various areas that Zhonghe Zhou examines in his Enantiornithes study include Sternum and Cretaceous.

His research integrates issues of Zoology, Feather and Saurischia, Microraptor, Theropoda in his study of Feathered dinosaur. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Jiufotang Formation, Ecology is strongly linked to Jehol Biota. His Archaeopteryx research includes themes of Origin of birds and Bird flight.

His most cited work include:

  • An exceptionally preserved Lower Cretaceous ecosystem (481 citations)
  • The smallest known non-avian theropod dinosaur (464 citations)
  • Four-winged dinosaurs from China (342 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cretaceous, Paleontology, Zoology, Jehol Biota and Enantiornithes. While the research belongs to areas of Cretaceous, Zhonghe Zhou spends his time largely on the problem of Eggshell, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Femur. His work carried out in the field of Paleontology brings together such families of science as Biota and China.

As part of the same scientific family, Zhonghe Zhou usually focuses on Zoology, concentrating on Feathered dinosaur and intersecting with Theropoda. His Jehol Biota research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecology and Aptian. Zhonghe Zhou has included themes like Jiufotang Formation, Clade and Anatomy in his Enantiornithes study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cretaceous (45.50%)
  • Paleontology (41.00%)
  • Zoology (35.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cretaceous (45.50%)
  • Jehol Biota (31.00%)
  • Zoology (35.00%)

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

Zhonghe Zhou mostly deals with Cretaceous, Jehol Biota, Zoology, Paleontology and Evolutionary biology. His primary area of study in Cretaceous is in the field of Jiufotang Formation. His Jehol Biota study combines topics in areas such as Feathered dinosaur, Biota and Ornithothoraces.

His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Jeholornis and Dentition. His Paleontology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Transition zone. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Direct evidence, Clade, Feather and Plumage.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A new Jurassic scansoriopterygid and the loss of membranous wings in theropod dinosaurs (26 citations)
  • Reinterpretation of a previously described Jehol bird clarifies early trophic evolution in the Ornithuromorpha (18 citations)
  • An Early Cretaceous enantiornithine (Aves) preserving an unlaid egg and probable medullary bone (17 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Cretaceous, Evolutionary biology, Jiufotang Formation, Paleontology and Eggshell. His studies deal with areas such as Zoology, Mesozoic and Maniraptora as well as Cretaceous. In his research, Scansoriopterygidae, Theropoda, Lineage and Skull is intimately related to Paraves, which falls under the overarching field of Evolutionary biology.

His Jiufotang Formation research integrates issues from Adaptation and Plumage. His work on Jehol Biota, Dentition and Jeholornis is typically connected to Gastrolith as part of general Paleontology study, connecting several disciplines of science. He focuses mostly in the field of Jehol Biota, narrowing it down to matters related to Feathered dinosaur and, in some cases, Feather and Integumentary system.
