Overview

Andrew H. Altieri is affiliated with the University of Florida in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with a substantial number of publications in these fields. Specifically, Altieri's work spans several subfields, including ecology, oceanography, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, and management, monitoring, policy, and law.

Their research topics are centered on coral and marine ecosystems studies, marine and coastal plant biology, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, marine biology and ecology research, ocean acidification effects and responses, marine and fisheries research, and coastal and marine management.

Altieri's recent scholarly contributions include articles such as:

  • Environmental DNA survey captures patterns of fish and invertebrate diversity across a tropical seascape (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Herbivory limits success of vegetation restoration globally (2023, Science)
  • Rapid ecosystem-scale consequences of acute deoxygenation on a Caribbean coral reef (2021, Nature Communications)
  • Heterogeneity within and among co-occurring foundation species increases biodiversity (2022, Nature Communications)
  • Predator control of marine communities increases with temperature across 115 degrees of latitude (2022, Science)

Frequent co-authors in Altieri's publications include Brian R. Silliman, Lucia M. Rodriguez Bravo, Christine Angelini, Valerie J. Paul, and Qiang He. This reflects collaborative work in the marine and environmental sciences domain.

Altieri has contributed to several publication venues, with multiple works appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Scientific Reports, Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and UNC Libraries. These platforms have published a significant portion of their research outputs.
