Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Abundance, Nitrogen fixation, Water column and Bacterioplankton. His research in Ecology intersects with topics in Botany and Microbial population biology. His studies deal with areas such as 16S ribosomal RNA, Actinobacteria and Prochlorococcus as well as Abundance.

His Diazotroph and Crocosphaera watsonii investigations are all subjects of Nitrogen fixation research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aquatic ecosystem and Benthic zone in addition to Water column. His research in Bacterioplankton focuses on subjects like Ecosystem, which are connected to Range, Biotic component and Abiotic component.

His most cited work include:

  • Metagenomic Analyses of an Uncultured Viral Community from Human Feces (610 citations)
  • A latitudinal diversity gradient in planktonic marine bacteria (461 citations)
  • Annually reoccurring bacterial communities are predictable from ocean conditions (447 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Abundance, Plankton, Metagenomics and Zoology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cyanobacteria and Nitrogen fixation, Diazotroph. Many of his research projects under Nitrogen fixation are closely connected to Nitrogen cycle with Nitrogen cycle, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His study looks at the intersection of Abundance and topics like Ecosystem with Biogeochemistry. His Plankton research also works with subjects such as

  • Ocean gyre together with Mesopelagic zone,
  • Estuary together with Eutrophication. His studies in Metagenomics integrate themes in fields like Host, Genome, DNA virus and Genotype.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (59.63%)
  • Abundance (19.27%)
  • Plankton (17.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Zoology (12.84%)
  • Human virome (6.42%)
  • Densovirus (8.26%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Zoology, Human virome, Densovirus, Genome and Pisaster ochraceus. His work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Infectivity, Aquatic ecosystem and Plankton. In the subject of general Human virome, his work in crAssphage is often linked to Monozygotic twin and Lesion, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Densovirus research incorporates themes from Asterias forbesi, Henricia, Echinoderm and Asterias. In his study, DNA virus, Host, Virus, Patiriella regularis and Microbial ecology is strongly linked to Metagenomics, which falls under the umbrella field of Genome. His study with Pisaster ochraceus involves better knowledge in Ecology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Virome Diversity Correlates with Intestinal Microbiome Diversity in Adult Monozygotic Twins. (63 citations)
  • Perspective: Something Old, Something New? Review of Wasting and Other Mortality in Asteroidea (Echinodermata) (13 citations)
  • A Highly Prevalent and Pervasive Densovirus Discovered among Sea Stars from the North American Atlantic Coast. (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Zoology, Human virome, Microbiome, Viral metagenomics and Mass mortality. His Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Infectivity, Invertebrate, Aquatic ecosystem and Plankton. His study in Human virome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Caudovirales and Flavivirus.

The various areas that Ian Hewson examines in his Microbiome study include Microbial ecology and Microbial population biology. His Viral metagenomics research entails a greater understanding of Genome. His study of Mass mortality brings together topics like Animal mortality, Demography and Geography.
