Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

Angel C. Alcala focuses on Marine reserve, Fishery, Ecology, Coral reef and Coral reef fish. Angel C. Alcala has researched Marine reserve in several fields, including Biomass, Reef and Fisheries management. His Fishery course of study focuses on Ecosystem and Trophic cascade, Trophic level, Food chain, Marine biology and Carrying capacity.

His study on Abundance and Tropical marine climate is often connected to Yield and Direct test as part of broader study in Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nature reserve, Environmental protection and Lutjanidae in addition to Coral reef. His work focuses on many connections between Coral reef fish and other disciplines, such as Predatory fish, that overlap with his field of interest in Fish stock.

His most cited work include:

  • Decadal trends in marine reserves reveal differential rates of change in direct and indirect effects (405 citations)
  • Do marine reserves export adult fish biomass? Evidence from Apo Island, central Philippines (345 citations)
  • Marine reserve benefits local fisheries (305 citations)

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

Angel C. Alcala spends much of his time researching Ecology, Fishery, Marine reserve, Coral reef and Fishing. Ecology connects with themes related to Zoology in his study. His Fishery study incorporates themes from Predatory fish, Marine protected area, Ecosystem and Coral.

His Marine reserve research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Coral reef fish, Lethrinidae, Biomass, Fisheries management and Nature reserve. His study looks at the relationship between Coral reef and fields such as Benthic zone, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work in Fishing addresses subjects such as Acanthuridae, which are connected to disciplines such as Catch per unit effort.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (63.64%)
  • Fishery (41.56%)
  • Marine reserve (37.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Fishery (41.56%)
  • Coral reef (29.87%)
  • Marine reserve (37.66%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Fishery, Coral reef, Marine reserve, Ecology and Benthic zone. His study in Estuary, Catch per unit effort and Crustacean are all subfields of Fishery. His Coral reef research focuses on Marine protected area and how it connects with Biological dispersal, Juvenile fish, Coral Triangle, Biomass and Environmental change.

His work on Archipelago and Abiotic component as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to Clade, Phylogeography and Gene flow, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research integrates issues of Reef, Coral bleaching, Coral and Caesionidae in his study of Benthic zone. His work deals with themes such as Trophic level, Goatfish and Fishing, which intersect with Coral reef fish.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The parrotfish–coral relationship: refuting the ubiquity of a prevailing paradigm (83 citations)
  • Long-term no-take marine reserve and benthic habitat effects on coral reef fishes (30 citations)
  • Off-reef planktivorous reef fishes respond positively to decadal-scale no-take marine reserve protection and negatively to benthic habitat change (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • IUCN Red List

His main research concerns Ecology, Fishery, Marine reserve, Coral reef and Benthic zone. His Fishery study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Dominance. The concepts of his Dominance study are interwoven with issues in Benthos, Coral bleaching and Parrotfish.

Benthic zone is often connected to Coral in his work. The various areas that Angel C. Alcala examines in his Pomacentridae study include Trophic level and Lutjanidae, Lethrinidae. His Reef research incorporates themes from Nocturnal and Habitat.
