Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Fishery
Habitat

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Fishery, Ecology, Gadus, Predation and Atlantic cod. His Fishery research includes themes of Oceanography and Habitat. His work on Ecology is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Normalization.

His Gadus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Forestry and North sea. The various areas that David Righton examines in his Predation study include Electronic tagging, Foraging and Energy budget. His study in Atlantic cod is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Range, Climate change, Shetland and Home range.

His most cited work include:

Scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour (665 citations)
Key Questions in Marine Megafauna Movement Ecology (251 citations)
Oceanic spawning migration of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla). (220 citations)

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

Fishery, Ecology, Oceanography, Gadus and North sea are his primary areas of study. His Fishery research includes themes of Range, Climate change and Habitat. David Righton combines topics linked to Animal science with his work on Ecology.

His work on Sargasso sea as part of general Oceanography study is frequently connected to Electronic tags, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. When carried out as part of a general Gadus research project, his work on Atlantic cod and Gadidae is frequently linked to work in Geolocation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His North sea research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Baltic sea and Forestry.

He most often published in these fields:

Fishery (55.91%)
Ecology (33.33%)
Oceanography (26.88%)

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

Fishery (55.91%)
Environmental resource management (10.75%)
Marine protected area (7.53%)

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

His primary areas of study are Fishery, Environmental resource management, Marine protected area, Oceanography and North sea. His research integrates issues of Range and Predation in his study of Fishery. His studies in Environmental resource management integrate themes in fields like CITES, Ecology and Habitat.

His Marine protected area study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bycatch and Marine spatial planning. His Oceanography research incorporates themes from Abundance and Data storage tag. David Righton focuses mostly in the field of North sea, narrowing it down to topics relating to Zoology and, in certain cases, Diving and Anguillicola crassus.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Translating Marine Animal Tracking Data into Conservation Policy and Management (79 citations)
Translating Marine Animal Tracking Data into Conservation Policy and Management (79 citations)
Disentangling structural genomic and behavioural barriers in a sea of connectivity. (24 citations)
