Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

His main research concerns Oncorhynchus, Fishery, Ecology, Zoology and Physiological condition. His Oncorhynchus research includes elements of Abnormally early and Reproductive hormones. His Fishery research integrates issues from Plasma cortisol and Brackish water.

His research integrates issues of High mortality and Population level in his study of Ecology. The various areas that David A. Patterson examines in his Population level study include Greenhouse effect and Ecosystem. His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Seawater, Salinity and Mrna expression.

His most cited work include:

  • Differences in thermal tolerance among sockeye salmon populations. (569 citations)
  • Pacific salmon in hot water: applying aerobic scope models and biotelemetry to predict the success of spawning migrations. (285 citations)
  • Cold shock and fish (206 citations)

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

David A. Patterson mainly investigates Oncorhynchus, Fishery, Ecology, Zoology and Fishing. His work in Oncorhynchus addresses subjects such as Gill, which are connected to disciplines such as Fish physiology. His study in Fishery is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fish migration and Habitat.

The concepts of his Zoology study are interwoven with issues in Semelparity and iteroparity, Gene expression, Hatchery and Chinook wind. In general Fishing, his work in Catch and release is often linked to Context linking many areas of study. His Reproduction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oncorhynchus (69.08%)
  • Fishery (44.08%)
  • Ecology (37.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Oncorhynchus (69.08%)
  • Zoology (29.61%)
  • Fishery (44.08%)

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

David A. Patterson mainly focuses on Oncorhynchus, Zoology, Fishery, Fishing and Chinook wind. He has researched Oncorhynchus in several fields, including Semelparity and iteroparity, Juvenile, Senescence, Dominance and Sex specific. His studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Endangered species, Physiological condition, Period, Hatchery and Smoltification.

As a part of the same scientific study, David A. Patterson usually deals with the Fishery, concentrating on Habitat and frequently concerns with Estuary. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sturgeon and Acipenser transmontanus in addition to Fishing. The Chinook wind study combines topics in areas such as Climate effects and Climate change.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Endangered wild salmon infected by newly discovered viruses (24 citations)
  • Biotelemetry informing management: case studies exploring successful integration of biotelemetry data into fisheries and habitat management. (21 citations)
  • Fisheries capture and infectious agents are associated with travel rate and survival of Chinook salmon during spawning migration (17 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

David A. Patterson spends much of his time researching Zoology, Oncorhynchus, Fishery, Hatchery and Chinook wind. David A. Patterson works mostly in the field of Zoology, limiting it down to topics relating to Smoltification and, in certain cases, Fish migration, Aquaculture and Physiological condition. He combines subjects such as Juvenile, Cumulative effects and Sex specific with his study of Oncorhynchus.

His studies deal with areas such as Fish habitat and Habitat as well as Fishery. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fish farming and Candidate gene. He has included themes like Endangered species and Keystone species in his Chinook wind study.
