This scientist has contributed extensively to multiple subfields including ecology, nature and landscape conservation, global and planetary change, developmental biology, and oceanography.

The main topics of their work cover marine animal studies overview, turtle biology and conservation, animal vocal communication and behavior, underwater acoustics research, avian ecology and behavior, amphibian and reptile biology, and marine and fisheries research.

Helen Bailey has published research in various scientific venues, frequently appearing in Ecology, Ecosphere, Scientific Reports, PLoS ONE, and Conservation Science and Practice. Some recent notable papers include:

  • Effects of intense storm events on dolphin occurrence and foraging behavior (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Spatial and temporal variation in the occurrence of bottlenose dolphins in the Chesapeake Bay, USA, using citizen science sighting data (2021, PLoS ONE)
  • Identifying and predicting occurrence and abundance of a vocal animal species based on individually specific calls (2021, Ecosphere)
  • Using fisheries observation data to develop a predictive species distribution model for endangered sea turtles (2021, Conservation Science and Practice)
  • Integrating telemetry and point observations to inform management and conservation of migratory marine species (2023, Ecosphere)

Helen Bailey regularly collaborates with other researchers. Frequent co-authors include Aimee L. Hoover, George L. Shillinger, David H. Secor, Nicole Barbour, and Kathryn L. Cottingham.
