Fellow of the Royal Society of South Africa

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Oceanography

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Perna perna, Mussel, Intertidal zone and Oceanography. The various areas that Christopher D. McQuaid examines in his Ecology study include Biological dispersal and Fishery, Shore. His study in Perna perna is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mytilus, Seasonality, Transect and Animal science.

Christopher D. McQuaid has included themes like Zoology and Anatomy in his Mussel study. The various areas that he examines in his Intertidal zone study include Biomass, Cellular respiration, Algae, Snail and Bivalvia. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trophic level and Phytoplankton.

His most cited work include:

  • Gradients of intertidal primary productivity around the coast of South Africa and their relationships with consumer biomass (225 citations)
  • Marine alien species of South Africa — status and impacts (215 citations)
  • Predator-prey role reversal in a marine benthic ecosystem (187 citations)

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

Christopher D. McQuaid mostly deals with Ecology, Intertidal zone, Perna perna, Oceanography and Mussel. His Ecology research focuses on Fishery and how it relates to Larva. His study looks at the relationship between Intertidal zone and fields such as Mollusca, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Christopher D. McQuaid combines subjects such as Biological dispersal and Invasive species with his study of Perna perna. His work deals with themes such as Trophic level and Phytoplankton, which intersect with Oceanography. His research combines Ecosystem and Mussel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (74.29%)
  • Intertidal zone (32.29%)
  • Perna perna (23.82%)

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

  • Ecology (74.29%)
  • Intertidal zone (32.29%)
  • Rocky shore (11.29%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Intertidal zone, Rocky shore, Perna perna and Mussel. His is doing research in Ecosystem, Habitat, Mytilus, Climate change and Biodiversity, both of which are found in Ecology. His Intertidal zone research integrates issues from Zoology, Phototroph, Environmental change, Ecological succession and Algae.

His Rocky shore study combines topics in areas such as Upwelling and Mediterranean mussel. His research investigates the link between Perna perna and topics such as Abiotic component that cross with problems in Atmospheric sciences, Ecological forecasting, Energy budget and Dynamic energy budget. His work investigates the relationship between Mussel and topics such as Invasive species that intersect with problems in Semimytilus algosus, Fishery, Kelp forest and Biogeography.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plastic ingestion in aquatic birds in Portugal. (17 citations)
  • Applicability of Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) models across steep environmental gradients. (15 citations)
  • Plastic ingestion in aquatic-associated bird species in southern Portugal. (15 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Ecosystem

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Intertidal zone, Ecosystem, Rocky shore and Perna perna. Christopher D. McQuaid conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Ecology and Marine debris. His Intertidal zone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mytilus, Biodiversity, Environmental change and Mussel.

His study in Ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phytoplankton, Nanophytoplankton, Productivity, Biotic component and Plankton. His Rocky shore research includes themes of Atmospheric sciences, Ecological forecasting and Energy budget. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dynamic energy budget and Abiotic component in addition to Perna perna.
