Overview

Alistair G. B. Poore is affiliated with the University of New South Wales in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with significant contributions to related subfields such as ecology, oceanography, global and planetary change, ecological modeling, and nature and landscape conservation.

The scientist's work extensively covers topics including marine and coastal plant biology, coral and marine ecosystems studies, marine biology and ecology research, species distribution and climate change, marine and fisheries research, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, and marine bivalve and aquaculture studies.

Several recent papers authored or co-authored by Poore showcase their research interests and contributions. These include:

  • Three Frontiers for the Future of Biodiversity Research Using Citizen Science Data, 2020, published in BioScience
  • Large-bodied birds are over-represented in unstructured citizen science data, 2021, published in Scientific Reports
  • Citizen science data accurately predicts expert-derived species richness at a continental scale when sampling thresholds are met, 2020, published in Biodiversity and Conservation
  • Many cameras make light work: opportunistic photographs of rare species in iNaturalist complement structured surveys of reef fish to better understand species richness, 2022, published in Biodiversity and Conservation
  • Climate drives the geography of marine consumption by changing predator communities, 2020, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Poore often collaborates with a group of frequent co-authors, including Adriana Vergés, Corey T. Callaghan, Paul E. Gribben, Jodi J. L. Rowley, and Christopher J. Roberts.

The researcher's publications are frequently found in journals such as Biodiversity and Conservation, Marine Environmental Research, Ecology and Evolution, Restoration Ecology, and Marine Ecology Progress Series, with three or more publications in each venue.
