What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Microplastics, Pellets, Environmental chemistry and Marine debris.
Ecology is often connected to Fishery in his work.
His studies deal with areas such as Synthetic fiber, Pollution and Mussel as well as Microplastics.
His study in Pellets is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Abundance, Sediment, Shore and Spatial variability.
His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Contamination, Pollutant and Lytechinus variegatus.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Citizen science, Laundry and Sewage treatment.
His most cited work include:
- Synthetic fibers as microplastics in the marine environment: A review from textile perspective with a focus on domestic washings (200 citations)
- Assessment of microplastic toxicity to embryonic development of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea). (146 citations)
- Three-dimensional distribution of plastic pellets in sandy beaches: shifting paradigms (126 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Ecology, Intertidal zone, Hermit crab, Fishery and Bay.
His research in Anomura, Crustacean, Predation, Cerithium atratum and Rocky shore are components of Ecology.
The various areas that he examines in his Intertidal zone study include Abundance, Spatial distribution and Sympatric speciation.
Alexander Turra works mostly in the field of Abundance, limiting it down to topics relating to Population biology and, in certain cases, Sex ratio.
His study on Hermit crab is covered under Zoology.
As part of one scientific family, Alexander Turra deals mainly with the area of Bay, narrowing it down to issues related to the Perciformes, and often Sciaenidae.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (42.45%)
- Intertidal zone (17.92%)
- Hermit crab (16.04%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Ecology (42.45%)
- Oceanography (9.91%)
- Intertidal zone (17.92%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Oceanography, Intertidal zone, Ecosystem and Zoology.
With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Ecology and Living space.
His studies in Oceanography integrate themes in fields like Canopy, Habitat and Regime shift.
The concepts of his Intertidal zone study are interwoven with issues in Abundance, Vertical displacement, Salinity and Bioturbation.
His work deals with themes such as Burrow, Ghost crab, Environmental resource management, Sampling and Population structure, which intersect with Ecosystem.
In his work, Shore, Pellets, Pollution and Microplastics is strongly intertwined with Tidal cycle, which is a subfield of Olivella minuta.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Using mussel as a global bioindicator of coastal microplastic pollution. (106 citations)
- Toward the integrated marine debris observing system (72 citations)
- A Roadmap for Using the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in Support of Science, Policy, and Action (46 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary areas of investigation include Marine spatial planning, Environmental planning, Ecosystem services, Sustainability and Pollution.
His Environmental planning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Marine protected area and Natural resource.
He combines subjects such as Ecological systems theory, Deep sea mining, Benthic zone and Seamount with his study of Ecosystem services.
His Sustainability research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ecosystem-based management and Sustainable development.
Ecology covers Alexander Turra research in Pollution.
His Microplastics study combines topics in areas such as Biological dispersal and Indicator species.
