Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Rocky shore, Intertidal zone, Herbivore and Shore. His Ecology and Habitat, Abundance, Limpet, Snail and Foraging investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. His Rocky shore research integrates issues from Relative species abundance and Botany, Ecological succession, Primary succession, Chlorophyll a.

His Intertidal zone research includes themes of Salinity and Ectotherm. His Herbivore study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phytoplankton, Algae, Cladophora, Reproductive success and Grazing. His Shore study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Barnacle, Coastal zone, Animal science and Nacella.

His most cited work include:

  • Habitat partitioning and thermal tolerance in a tropical limpet, Cellana grata (174 citations)
  • The relative importance of habitat complexity and surface area in assessing biodiversity: Fractal application on rocky shores (133 citations)
  • Scraping a living: a review of littorinid grazing (107 citations)

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

Ecology, Intertidal zone, Rocky shore, Oceanography and Shore are his primary areas of study. Limpet, Gastropoda, Algae, Cellana grata and Foraging are the primary areas of interest in his Ecology study. Gray A. Williams interconnects Predation and Mollusca in the investigation of issues within Gastropoda.

The concepts of his Intertidal zone study are interwoven with issues in Barnacle, Climate change and Ectotherm. His work in Rocky shore addresses issues such as Herbivore, which are connected to fields such as Grazing. Gray A. Williams has included themes like Japonica and Seasonality in his Shore study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (66.99%)
  • Intertidal zone (27.75%)
  • Rocky shore (26.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Ecology (66.99%)
  • Intertidal zone (27.75%)
  • Rocky shore (26.32%)

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

Gray A. Williams spends much of his time researching Ecology, Intertidal zone, Rocky shore, Oceanography and Fishery. His Shore research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology. His studies deal with areas such as Thermoregulation, Tropics and Temporal scales as well as Shore.

His Intertidal zone study combines topics in areas such as Barnacle, Climate change and Ectotherm. Gray A. Williams works mostly in the field of Rocky shore, limiting it down to topics relating to Limpet and, in certain cases, Grazing pressure. His study in the field of Trawling and Demersal zone also crosses realms of South china.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Beyond long-term averages: making biological sense of a rapidly changing world (92 citations)
  • Comparative genomics and the nature of placozoan species. (40 citations)
  • Untangling the roles of microclimate, behaviour and physiological polymorphism in governing vulnerability of intertidal snails to heat stress (39 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Intertidal zone, Climate change, Mating and Rocky shore. Gray A. Williams integrates several fields in his works, including Ecology and Radiata. Gray A. Williams integrates Intertidal zone with Heat stress in his research.

His Climate change research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Habitat destruction, Marine habitats, Ecosystem and Environmental resource management. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastropoda, Echinolittorina malaccana and Reproductive success in addition to Mating. His Rocky shore research focuses on Cellana grata in particular.
