Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Predation
  • Ecosystem

Joan E. Roughgarden spends much of her time researching Ecology, Intertidal zone, Balanus glandula, Predation and Niche. Ecology and Phenotype are two areas of study in which Joan E. Roughgarden engages in interdisciplinary work. Her Intertidal zone study combines topics in areas such as Water mass, Sea level and Upwelling.

Her Balanus glandula research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Balanus and Zooplankton. In her research, Generalist and specialist species and Entire population is intimately related to Lizard, which falls under the overarching field of Niche. Her Community course of study focuses on Marine biology and Habitat.

Her most cited work include:

  • Climate Change, Human Impacts, and the Resilience of Coral Reefs (2923 citations)
  • Recruitment dynamics in complex life cycles (991 citations)
  • Evolution of Niche Width (748 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Ecology, Anolis, Predation, Lizard and Competition. Her study in Ecology, Intertidal zone, Balanus glandula, Interspecific competition and Habitat falls under the purview of Ecology. Her Anolis research incorporates elements of Niche and Sauria.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Foraging and Body size. The various areas that Joan E. Roughgarden examines in her Lizard study include Abundance and Netherlands Antilles. Her Competition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Niche differentiation, Generalist and specialist species and Population size.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (68.03%)
  • Anolis (17.21%)
  • Predation (16.39%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1995-2016)?

  • Ecology (68.03%)
  • Ecology (12.30%)
  • Intertidal zone (11.48%)

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

Joan E. Roughgarden mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecology, Intertidal zone, Competition and Upwelling. Her works in Predation, Community structure, Anolis, Benthic zone and Resilience of coral reefs are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. Her Predation research integrates issues from Abundance and Foraging.

Joan E. Roughgarden has included themes like Coral reef organizations, Environmental issues with coral reefs and Aquaculture of coral in her Resilience of coral reefs study. Her Ecology study incorporates themes from Ecological systems theory and Coevolution. Her research integrates issues of Mutualism, Biodiversity, Population size and Natural selection in her study of Competition.

Between 1995 and 2016, her most popular works were:

  • Climate Change, Human Impacts, and the Resilience of Coral Reefs (2923 citations)
  • A latitudinal gradient in northeast Pacific intertidal community structure: evidence for an oceanographically based synthesis of marine community theory. (170 citations)
  • Why fisheries collapse and what to do about it (151 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Predation

Joan E. Roughgarden mostly deals with Ecology, Upwelling, Intertidal zone, Community structure and Benthic zone. With her scientific publications, her incorporates both Ecology and Plate tectonics. Her Upwelling research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Intertidal ecology, Submarine pipeline, Competition and Predation.

Intertidal zone is closely attributed to Balanus glandula in her research. Her Community structure research includes elements of Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, Species diversity, Interspecific competition, Pelagic zone and Ruderal species. Many of her studies on Benthic zone involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Community.
