Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Felicita Scapini mostly deals with Ecology, Talitrus saltator, Mediterranean climate, Shore and Oceanography. Felicita Scapini integrates many fields in her works, including Ecology and Solar compass. Talitrus saltator is the subject of her research, which falls under Amphipoda.

Her Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coastal management, Global warming, Ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem and Ecotone. Her work investigates the relationship between Coastal management and topics such as Ecology that intersect with problems in Climate change. Her work on Effects of global warming as part of her general Global warming study is frequently connected to Setback and Zoning, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Her most cited work include:

  • Threats to sandy beach ecosystems: A review (693 citations)
  • Sandy beaches at the brink (285 citations)
  • Sandy beach ecosystems: key features, sampling issues, management challenges and climate change impacts (283 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Ecology, Talitrus saltator, Amphipoda, Shore and Mediterranean climate. Felicita Scapini combines Ecology and Solar compass in her research. Her Talitrus saltator course of study focuses on Saltator and Burrow.

In general Amphipoda, her work in Talitridae is often linked to Beach morphodynamics linking many areas of study. Her Shore research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Supralittoral zone and Physical geography. The various areas that she examines in her Ecosystem study include Biodiversity, Climate change and Bioindicator.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (63.27%)
  • Talitrus saltator (44.22%)
  • Amphipoda (31.29%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Ecology (63.27%)
  • Talitrus saltator (44.22%)
  • Amphipoda (31.29%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Talitrus saltator, Amphipoda, Shore and Mediterranean climate. Her Ecology study deals with Oceanography intersecting with Ecological assessment. Her Talitrus saltator research includes themes of Orientation, Burrow, Orchestia gammarellus and Saltator.

Her work on Talitridae, Gammaridae and Dikerogammarus villosus as part of general Amphipoda study is frequently linked to Colonisation, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sedimentology, Indicator species, Supralittoral zone and Local adaptation. Her Mediterranean climate study incorporates themes from Trophic level and Ecosystem.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Metrics to assess ecological condition, change, and impacts in sandy beach ecosystems (56 citations)
  • Behaviour of mobile macrofauna is a key factor in beach ecology as response to rapid environmental changes (36 citations)
  • SUN COMPASS AND SHORE SLOPE IN THE ORIENTATION OF LITTORAL AMPHIPODS (TALITRUS SALTATOR MONTAGU) (35 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Felicita Scapini mostly deals with Ecology, Talitrus saltator, Oceanography, Amphipoda and Habitat. Many of her studies on Ecology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Coastal erosion. Felicita Scapini interconnects Burrow, Transect, Vegetation, Saltator and Nocturnal in the investigation of issues within Talitrus saltator.

In the field of Oceanography, her study on Shore, Upwelling and Dissolved organic carbon overlaps with subjects such as Solar compass and Colored dissolved organic matter. Her study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Orientation, Juvenile, Talitridae and Orchestia gammarellus. As a member of one scientific family, Felicita Scapini mostly works in the field of Biodiversity, focusing on Benthos and, on occasion, Mediterranean climate.
