Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

A. Randall Hughes spends much of his time researching Ecology, Seagrass, Ecosystem, Fishery and Biodiversity. His study in Ecology concentrates on Amphibolis antarctica, Overexploitation, Trophic level, Coral reef and Habitat. A. Randall Hughes interconnects Zosteraceae, Zostera noltei, Halodule uninervis, Thalassia testudinum and Posidonia australis in the investigation of issues within Amphibolis antarctica.

His Halodule uninervis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Habitat destruction, Blue carbon and Marine habitats. His work deals with themes such as Environmental change, Species diversity, Resistance and Genetic diversity, which intersect with Biodiversity. His Genetic diversity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Conservation biology, Evolutionary ecology and Disturbance.

His most cited work include:

  • Accelerating loss of seagrasses across the globe threatens coastal ecosystems (2113 citations)
  • A Global Crisis for Seagrass Ecosystems (1932 citations)
  • The impacts of climate change in coastal marine systems. (1731 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Seagrass, Ecosystem, Oyster and Biomass. A. Randall Hughes focuses mostly in the field of Ecology, narrowing it down to matters related to Genetic diversity and, in some cases, Productivity. His Seagrass research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fishery, Salt marsh and Foundation species.

His work carried out in the field of Ecosystem brings together such families of science as Biological dispersal and Nutrient. His Oyster study combines topics in areas such as Reef and Food web, Predation. His study in Biomass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trophic level and Botany.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (92.41%)
  • Seagrass (35.44%)
  • Ecosystem (25.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Ecology (92.41%)
  • Oyster (18.99%)
  • Habitat (17.72%)

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

A. Randall Hughes spends much of his time researching Ecology, Oyster, Habitat, Eastern oyster and Restoration ecology. His study in Competition, Ecosystem, Seagrass, Predator and Mangrove is carried out as part of his Ecology studies. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ecosystem, Environmental change, Biological dispersal, Global warming and Food chain is strongly linked to Biodiversity.

His Seagrass study focuses on Zostera marina in particular. His studies in Oyster integrate themes in fields like Trophic level, Genetic diversity, Genetic variation and Predation. His Restoration ecology research includes themes of Ecological systems theory, Marine habitats and Marsh.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Temperature thresholds for black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) freeze damage, mortality, and recovery in North America: Refining tipping points for range expansion in a warming climate (12 citations)
  • Supporting Spartina : interdisciplinary perspective shows Spartina as a distinct solid genus (12 citations)
  • Social Factors Key to Landscape-Scale Coastal Restoration: Lessons Learned from Three U.S. Case Studies. (8 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

A. Randall Hughes mainly investigates Ecology, Oyster, Biomass, Eastern oyster and Range. Ecology is represented through his Subgenus and Genus research. The Oyster study combines topics in areas such as Zoology, Intraspecific competition, Resistance and Predation.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Habitat, Marine ecosystem, Ecosystem, Food chain and Global warming in addition to Biomass. His Eastern oyster research integrates issues from Trophic cascade, Trophic level, Food web, Apex predator and Genetic variation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Avicennia germinans, Mangrove, Climate change and Tipping point.
