Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Zoology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Cetacea, Mediterranean sea, Blubber and Fishery. His Ecology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Zoology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Water pollution, Stenella coeruleoalba, Ecosystem and Pesticide in addition to Cetacea.

His studies in Mediterranean sea integrate themes in fields like Balaenoptera, Water mass, Rookery, Foraging and Ocean current. His work carried out in the field of Blubber brings together such families of science as Chronology, Animal science and Reproduction. His Fishery study incorporates themes from Mediterranean climate and Apex predator.

His most cited work include:

  • Abnormally high polychlorinated biphenyl levels in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) affected by the 1990–1992 Mediterranean epizootic (257 citations)
  • Relationship of DDE/ΣDDT in Marine Mammals to the Chronology of DDT Input into the Ecosystem (218 citations)
  • Emerging infectious diseases in cetaceans worldwide and the possible role of environmental stressors. (205 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Fishery, Mediterranean climate, Zoology and Mediterranean sea. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Blubber, Cetacea, Trophic level, Monachus monachus and Pelagic zone. His work in Blubber addresses subjects such as Pollutant, which are connected to disciplines such as Pollution.

His research in Mediterranean climate intersects with topics in Range, Abundance, Endangered species, Rookery and Carapace. His research integrates issues of Fin Whales and Reproduction in his study of Zoology. His work deals with themes such as Oceanography and Bottlenose dolphin, which intersect with Mediterranean sea.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (49.74%)
  • Fishery (26.15%)
  • Mediterranean climate (24.10%)

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

  • Whale (14.87%)
  • Evolutionary biology (6.15%)
  • Mediterranean sea (21.54%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Whale, Evolutionary biology, Mediterranean sea, Fishery and Oceanography. His study explores the link between Whale and topics such as Zoology that cross with problems in Krill and Water mass. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental chemistry, Endangered species, Transect and Litter as well as Mediterranean sea.

The Endangered species study which covers Gene flow that intersects with Ecology. A large part of his Ecology studies is devoted to Common dolphin. His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Trophic level, Bottlenose dolphin and Interspecific competition.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A global perspective on the trophic geography of sharks (43 citations)
  • Boops boops as a bioindicator of microplastic pollution along the Spanish Catalan coast (14 citations)
  • Organophosphate contaminants in North Atlantic fin whales. (12 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Extinction

Alex Aguilar focuses on Mediterranean sea, Whale, Bioindicator, Litter and Boops boops. His Mediterranean sea study is concerned with Mediterranean climate in general. His Whale study combines topics in areas such as Zoology, Fauna, Krill and Bioaccumulation.

His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Fin Whales, Water mass and Habitat. His studies deal with areas such as Global warming, Microplastics, Oceanography and Fishery as well as Bioindicator. His Monachus monachus study is focused on Ecology in general.
