Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Ecosystem

James J. Bell focuses on Ecology, Coral reef, Fishery, Sponge and Species richness. James J. Bell connects Ecology with Sedimentation in his study. His Coral reef research incorporates elements of Biodiversity and Marine habitats.

His work on Marine sponges as part of general Sponge study is frequently linked to Clade, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Marine sponges brings together such families of science as Bioerosion, Benthos, Polar ecosystems and Pelagic zone. His work deals with themes such as Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Bacterial phyla and Poribacteria, which intersect with Species richness.

His most cited work include:

  • The functional roles of marine sponges (386 citations)
  • Assessing the complex sponge microbiota: core, variable and species-specific bacterial communities in marine sponges. (355 citations)
  • Could some coral reefs become sponge reefs as our climate changes (183 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Sponge, Coral reef, Reef and Abundance. His work in Ecology addresses issues such as Fishery, which are connected to fields such as Seagrass and Marine ecosystem. His Sponge study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Zoology, Range, Temperate climate, Water column and Ocean acidification.

His Coral reef research includes themes of Invertebrate and Spatial variability. His Reef research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dominance, Indo-Pacific, Fauna and Coral. His work focuses on many connections between Abundance and other disciplines, such as Biodiversity, that overlap with his field of interest in Environmental change.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (79.61%)
  • Sponge (37.50%)
  • Coral reef (28.95%)

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

  • Ecology (79.61%)
  • Sponge (37.50%)
  • Coral reef (28.95%)

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

Ecology, Sponge, Coral reef, Benthic zone and Reef are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Ecology, James J. Bell frequently links adjacent subjects like Biological dispersal. His studies in Sponge integrate themes in fields like Abundance, Ontogeny and Metamorphosis.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dominance and Coral. His Reef research focuses on subjects like Indo-Pacific, which are linked to Longevity. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Species richness, Nature reserve and Temperate climate.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bioeroding sponge assemblages: the importance of substrate availability and sediment (8 citations)
  • Domination of mesophotic ecosystems in the Wakatobi Marine National Park (Indonesia) by sponges, soft corals and other non-hard coral species (7 citations)
  • Decadal variability in sponge abundance and biodiversity on an Indo-Pacific coral reef (5 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Reef, Ecology, Coral reef, Indo-Pacific and Tethya. Ecology is often connected to Sponge in his work. James J. Bell interconnects National park and Benthic zone in the investigation of issues within Sponge.

His research integrates issues of Species richness, Dominance, Oceanography and Longevity in his study of Indo-Pacific. Biodiversity is closely connected to Incipient speciation in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Tethya. His Coral research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Abundance, Waves and shallow water, Abiotic component and Substrate.
