What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- IUCN Red List
- Internal medicine
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Habitat, Predation, Fishery and Foraging.
His work in Ecology tackles topics such as Lévy flight which are related to areas like Electronic tagging.
His research integrates issues of Context and Phenology in his study of Habitat.
David W. Sims combines subjects such as Mating, Home range, Waves and shallow water and Scyliorhinus canicula with his study of Predation.
His research in Foraging intersects with topics in Bycatch and Front.
His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Range, Invertebrate and Marine biology.
His most cited work include:
- Scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour (665 citations)
- Environmental context explains Lévy and Brownian movement patterns of marine predators (601 citations)
- Environmental context explains Lévy and Brownian movement patterns of marine predators (601 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Fishery, Habitat, Foraging and Predation.
Ecology and Context are frequently intertwined in his study.
David W. Sims focuses mostly in the field of Fishery, narrowing it down to matters related to Oceanography and, in some cases, Ocean sunfish.
The concepts of his Habitat study are interwoven with issues in Prionace glauca, Climate change and Bathyal zone.
His research investigates the connection with Foraging and areas like Lévy flight which intersect with concerns in Random search.
Much of his study explores Predation relationship to Chondrichthyes.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (100.65%)
- Fishery (70.23%)
- Habitat (48.22%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Fishery (70.23%)
- Ecology (100.65%)
- Habitat (48.22%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
David W. Sims mostly deals with Fishery, Ecology, Habitat, Fishing and Marine protected area.
His Fishery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Primary production, Hypoxia and Molidae.
The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Gene flow and Workflow.
His Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Intertidal zone, Competition, Sympatric speciation and Atoll.
His research investigates the link between Marine protected area and topics such as Overfishing that cross with problems in Spatial ecology, Fisheries management, Ecology and Mark and recapture.
His Effective population size study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Foraging and Predation.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Genomic mechanisms of climate adaptation in polyploid bioenergy switchgrass. (8 citations)
- The Caribbean needs big marine protected areas (3 citations)
- Quantifying effects of tracking data bias on species distribution models (2 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- IUCN Red List
- Internal medicine
David W. Sims mainly focuses on Ecology, Gene flow, Hypoxia, Habitat and Primary production.
Foraging and Predation are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Introgression, Biomass, Adaptation, Variation and Gene pool in addition to Gene flow.
His Hypoxia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Longline fishing, Pelagic zone, Fishery, Fishing and Oxygen minimum zone.
His study on Habitat is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Tropical Atlantic.
