Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of study are Vitellogenin, Juvenile hormone, Honey bee, Endocrinology and Evolutionary biology. His research on Vitellogenin concerns the broader Gene. His research investigates the link between Juvenile hormone and topics such as Yolk that cross with problems in Gene silencing, Zoology, Longevity and Nectar.

Zilá Luz Paulino Simões specializes in Honey bee, namely Worker bee. His Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Eusociality, Genome, Biological dispersal, Genetic variation and Local adaptation. His research integrates issues of Phylogenetics and DNA methylation in his study of Genome.

His most cited work include:

  • Insights into social insects from the genome of the honeybee Apis mellifera (1472 citations)
  • Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid Nasonia species. (705 citations)
  • Disruption of vitellogenin gene function in adult honeybees by intra-abdominal injection of double-stranded RNA (276 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Honey bee, Juvenile hormone, Gene, Genetics and Vitellogenin. His Honey bee study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hemolymph and Biochemistry. His Juvenile hormone study which covers Zoology that intersects with Honey Bees.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stingless bee, Metamorphosis and Bioinformatics. His Vitellogenin research focuses on subjects like Ovary, which are linked to Larva. His work investigates the relationship between Genome and topics such as Evolutionary biology that intersect with problems in Eusociality.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Honey bee (37.68%)
  • Juvenile hormone (28.99%)
  • Gene (28.26%)

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

  • Gene (28.26%)
  • Genetics (24.64%)
  • Evolutionary biology (7.97%)

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

Zilá Luz Paulino Simões focuses on Gene, Genetics, Evolutionary biology, Gene expression and Stingless bee. His studies in Gene integrate themes in fields like Period and Cell biology. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Natural selection, Eusociality, Genome, Genomics and Introgression.

His Gene expression research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vitellogenin, Apidae and Zoology. His studies examine the connections between Vitellogenin and genetics, as well as such issues in Nuclear receptor, with regards to Juvenile hormone. Zilá Luz Paulino Simões has included themes like Hemolymph and Microbiology in his Honey bee study.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living (236 citations)
  • The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization (232 citations)
  • Genomewide analysis of admixture and adaptation in the Africanized honeybee. (26 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Evolutionary biology, Eusociality, Genetics, Honey bee and Transcriptome are his primary areas of study. His study in Evolutionary biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Natural selection, Foraging, Genetic genealogy and Introgression. His work carried out in the field of Eusociality brings together such families of science as Ultrastructure, Odorant binding, Epidermis and Integument.

Zilá Luz Paulino Simões has researched Genetics in several fields, including Evolution of eusociality, Larva and Worker bee. His Honey bee research includes themes of Gene rearrangement, Bumblebee, Bombus impatiens, Bombus terrestris and Genomics. His work in Transcriptome tackles topics such as Ploidy which are related to areas like Embryogenesis, Zygote, Embryo, Oogenesis and Ovary.
