Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Social psychology

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Cetacea, Fishery, Sperm and Zoology. His Bay research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology. His Cetacea research integrates issues from Mammal, Whale, Animal ecology, Biological dispersal and Social organization.

His study in the field of Whaling also crosses realms of Diurnal temperature variation, Social relationship and West indian. His study in Sperm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Productivity, Oceanography and Underwater. His studies deal with areas such as Humpback whale and Social group as well as Zoology.

His most cited work include:

  • Culture in whales and dolphins (636 citations)
  • SOCPROG programs: analysing animal social structures (491 citations)
  • Analyzing Animal Societies: Quantitative Methods for Vertebrate Social Analysis (478 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Sperm, Cetacea, Zoology and Fishery. His work deals with themes such as Clan and Demography, which intersect with Ecology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Oceanography and Sound production in addition to Sperm.

He combines subjects such as Animal communication, Coda, Whale, Hyperoodon ampullatus and Pacific ocean with his study of Cetacea. Borrowing concepts from Female sperm, Hal Whitehead weaves in ideas under Zoology. His Fishery research includes themes of Population size and Habitat.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (43.15%)
  • Sperm (26.61%)
  • Cetacea (25.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Foraging (9.68%)
  • Fishery (19.35%)
  • Sperm (26.61%)

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

Hal Whitehead mainly focuses on Foraging, Fishery, Sperm, Ecology and General interest. His Foraging study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology, Sympatric speciation, Interpersonal relationship and Predation. Hal Whitehead interconnects Cetacea, Coda and Vocal learning in the investigation of issues within Sympatric speciation.

His Fishery research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Demography and Habitat. His Sperm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hydrophone, Artificial intelligence, Stability and Pattern recognition. In his works, Hal Whitehead undertakes multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Social learning.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Animal cultures matter for conservation. (42 citations)
  • Gene–culture coevolution in whales and dolphins (40 citations)
  • The reach of gene-culture coevolution in animals. (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Social psychology

His primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Mitochondrial DNA, Pilot whale, Ecology and Whale. His Evolutionary biology research includes elements of Sociocultural evolution, Ecology, Genetic structure and Assortative mating. Hal Whitehead studied Pilot whale and Globicephala melas that intersect with Demography, Context, Communication and Repertoire.

His Context study deals with Zoology intersecting with Coevolution. Hal Whitehead brings together Ecology and Social learning to produce work in his papers. His Whale research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cultural transmission in animals, Cetacea, Foraging and Sympatric speciation.
