Overview

Top Research Topics at Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology?

Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is organized to address concerns in the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Fishery, Animal science and Predation. Crayfish, Crustacean, Juvenile, Predator and Habitat are all areas of Ecology tackled in it. Procambarus clarkii is a focus of the Crayfish works in Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology.

The in-depth study on Zoology also explores topics in the intersecting field of Anatomy. Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology facilitates discussions on Animal science that incorporate concepts from other fields like Salinity and Shrimp. Osmoregulation is part of Salinity studies tackled in the journal.

Litopenaeus is a key component of Shrimp research discussed in it. Studies on Predation discussed in Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology link to the field of Foraging.

  • Ecology (43.50%)
  • Zoology (21.68%)
  • Fishery (20.60%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Visual feeding of fish in a turbid environment: Physical and behavioural aspects (293 citations)
  • Crayfish invading Europe: the case study of Procambarus clarkii (260 citations)
  • Nutrition of cephalopods: Fueling the system (170 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology:

The journal articles aim to foster the development of research in Ecology, Fishery, Anatomy, Zoology and Predation. Agonistic behaviour and Aggression are some topics wherein Ecology research discussed in the published articles has an impact. The journal articles about Intraspecific competition, Mate choice and Mating research are fields of study within Zoology but they also intertwine with concepts in Ammonium.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Ecology
  • Crustacean
  • Genus

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal mainly tackles studies in Zoology, Horizontal and vertical, Thunnus, Tuna and Bigeye tuna. While Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology focused on Zoology, it was also able to explore topics like Thiamine deficiency, Thiamine, Salmo, Vitamin and Sprattus sprattus. Horizontal and vertical study tackled is connected to the field of Residence time (fluid dynamics).

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Effects of handling during experimental procedures on stress indices in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas (L) (1 citations)
  • The impact of catch-and-release on feeding responses and aggressive behavior in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (0 citations)
  • In situ photosynthetic performance of Porites lutea inhabiting contrasting habitats of the Northern Straits of Malacca (NSoM), Malaysia (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • David L. Macmillan (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Brian A. Hazlett (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Shi-Jian Fu (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Richard B. Forward (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Francesca Gherardi (6 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Melbourne (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Spanish National Research Council (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Duke University (10 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 50.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to diverse career opportunities that often intersect with healthcare and environmental management. For those interested in the growing field of health data, exploring online health information management programs cahiim accredited can provide a solid foundation for managing biological data and environmental health records.

Students aiming to transition quickly into impactful roles may consider healthcare pathways such as nursing. The easiest accelerated nursing programs to get into offer streamlined routes to becoming registered nurses, combining a passion for science with patient care.

Certification enhances employability, as seen with credentials like the cpc certification, which is valuable for professionals working with medical coding and billing, a critical component in health ecosystems related to ecology research, such as zoonotic disease tracking.

For advanced practice, environmental and healthcare professionals might pursue expedited educational options like the 1 year post master's fnp online programs. These allow for specialization in family nurse practitioner roles, bridging environmental science with public health.
