What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His main research concerns Ecology, Gorgonian, Zoology, Cnidaria and Reef.
His Ecology research integrates issues from Fecundity and Vegetative reproduction.
His study in Gorgonian is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Human fertilization, Plexaura, Asexual reproduction, Panama and Fragmentation.
His biological study deals with issues like Coelenterata, which deal with fields such as Pseudopterogorgia and Population genetics.
Howard R. Lasker interconnects Hermatypic coral and Reproduction in the investigation of issues within Cnidaria.
His Reef research incorporates elements of Sediment and Montastrea cavernosa.
His most cited work include:
- DNA fingerprints of a gorgonian coral: a method for detecting clonal structure in a vegetative species (126 citations)
- Molecular phylogenetic analyses of shallow-water Caribbean octocorals (115 citations)
- Sediment rejection by reef corals: The roles of behavior and morphology in Montastrea cavernosa (Linnaeus) (106 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Gorgonian, Zoology, Reef and Coral reef.
His work on Ecology deals in particular with Coral, Abundance, Larva, Panama and Octocorallia.
His Gorgonian study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Coelenterata and Plexaura.
His research integrates issues of Cnidaria, Taxon, Fecundity, Reproduction and Reproductive success in his study of Zoology.
In his study, Nocturnal is strongly linked to Montastrea cavernosa, which falls under the umbrella field of Reef.
His work on Hermatypic coral and Fringing reef as part of general Coral reef study is frequently linked to Spatial variability, bridging the gap between disciplines.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (69.03%)
- Gorgonian (38.94%)
- Zoology (26.55%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Ecology (69.03%)
- Reef (25.66%)
- Coral reef (22.12%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ecology, Reef, Coral reef, Taxon and Abundance are his primary areas of study.
His Reef research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Octocorallia and Community structure.
His research in Coral reef intersects with topics in Deposition, Sediment, Canopy and Biological dispersal.
His Taxon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zoology and Fishery.
His Zoology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Full moon and Life stage.
Plexaura homomalla is a subfield of Gorgonian that Howard R. Lasker explores.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Cryptic regime shift in benthic community structure on shallow reefs in St. John, US Virgin Islands (30 citations)
- Resilience of Octocoral Forests to Catastrophic Storms (16 citations)
- Variability of size structure and species composition in Caribbean octocoral communities under contrasting environmental conditions (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
Howard R. Lasker focuses on Ecology, Reef, Coral reef, Abundance and Community structure.
His study in Octocorallia, Ecology, Gorgonian, Taxon and Benthic zone is carried out as part of his Ecology studies.
The concepts of his Gorgonian study are interwoven with issues in Biological dispersal, Larval behavior and Life history theory.
He has included themes like Canopy and Genus in his Coral reef study.
His studies deal with areas such as Plexaura homomalla, Herbivore, Algae, Invertebrate and Competition as well as Abundance.
His work in Community structure covers topics such as Scleractinia which are related to areas like Alcyonacea, Porites, Muriceopsis and Plexaurella.
