  • 1999 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

David Thistle is affiliated with Florida State University in the United States. Their research focus primarily resides within the fields of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science, with specific attention to Oceanography and Ecology as subfields.

The scientist's body of work includes a notable publication titled Deep sea without limits-four new closely related species of Emertonia Wilson, 1932 (Copepoda: Harpacticoida: Paramesochridae) show characters with a world-wide distribution, published in 2021 in the journal Zootaxa.

Their research contributions emphasize several key topics, including:

  • Marine Biology and Ecology Research
  • Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies
  • Marine and coastal ecosystems

Frequent collaboration has been observed with colleagues such as Annabel Mathiske, Hendrik Gheerardyn, and Gritta Veit-Köhler. The scientist has published in venues including:

  • Zootaxa

David Thistle was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1999.
