Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Oceanography

Daniel P. Costa mostly deals with Ecology, Foraging, Oceanography, Mirounga angustirostris and Predation. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Ecology, focusing on Fishery and, on occasion, Threatened species. The Foraging study combines topics in areas such as Seasonal breeder, Mesopelagic zone, Continental shelf and Energetics, Field metabolic rate.

The various areas that he examines in his Oceanography study include Latitude and Zalophus californianus. In his study, Rookery and Deep diving is inextricably linked to Elephant seal, which falls within the broad field of Mirounga angustirostris. His research in Predation intersects with topics in Marine ecosystem, Krill and Interspecific competition.

His most cited work include:

  • Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean (780 citations)
  • Water flux in animals: analysis of potential errors in the tritiated water method (419 citations)
  • Migratory shearwaters integrate oceanic resources across the Pacific Ocean in an endless summer. (379 citations)

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

Daniel P. Costa focuses on Ecology, Foraging, Oceanography, Predation and Mirounga angustirostris. His research investigates the connection between Ecology and topics such as Animal science that intersect with issues in Metabolic rate. Daniel P. Costa has researched Foraging in several fields, including Pelagic zone, Mesopelagic zone, Apex predator, Fur seal and Benthic zone.

His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climatology and Ecosystem. His Mirounga angustirostris research integrates issues from Elephant seal, Marine mammal and Blubber. The Elephant seal study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (41.51%)
  • Foraging (28.13%)
  • Oceanography (18.87%)

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

  • Foraging (28.13%)
  • Predation (16.47%)
  • Ecology (41.51%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Foraging, Predation, Ecology, Habitat and Fishery. His Foraging study which covers Marine mammal that intersects with Free ranging. His work in Predation addresses issues such as Benthic zone, which are connected to fields such as Arctocephalus.

His is doing research in Zalophus californianus, Climate change, Environmental change, Biomass and Predator, both of which are found in Ecology. His Habitat research also works with subjects such as

  • Ecosystem that connect with fields like Continental shelf and Environmental resource management,
  • Peninsula, which have a strong connection to Krill. His Fishery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sound and Threatened species.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A dynamic ocean management tool to reduce bycatch and support sustainable fisheries. (112 citations)
  • Translating Marine Animal Tracking Data into Conservation Policy and Management (79 citations)
  • Animal-borne telemetry: An integral component of the ocean observing toolkit (64 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • IUCN Red List

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Foraging, Predation, Climate change and Habitat. Daniel P. Costa regularly links together related areas like Reproductive success in his Ecology studies. The various areas that Daniel P. Costa examines in his Foraging study include Trophic level, Apex predator, Mirounga angustirostris, Ecology and Animal science.

His study in Mirounga angustirostris is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Elephant seal and Mesopelagic zone. His work carried out in the field of Predation brings together such families of science as Sea ice, Krill, Peninsula and Marine mammal. His Habitat study incorporates themes from Bycatch and Environmental monitoring.
