Overview

John C. Montgomery is affiliated with the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Their primary field of study is Environmental Science, with a focus on nature and landscape conservation, ecology, global and planetary change, oceanography, and developmental biology.

The scientist's research spans several connected areas including fish ecology and management studies, ichthyology and marine biology, marine and fisheries research, marine animal studies, underwater acoustics research, animal vocal communication and behavior, and hydrology and sediment transport processes.

Frequent co-authors in John C. Montgomery's work include:

  • Craig A. Radford
  • Cindy F. Baker
  • Carolin Nieder
  • Jimmy Rapson
  • Dipendra Magaju

Their research has been published regularly in several scientific journals. The most frequent publication venues are:

  • Journal of Experimental Biology
  • Research in Ecology
  • Marine Ecology Progress Series
  • Ecological Engineering
  • Journal of Ecohydraulics

Recent papers authored or co-authored by John C. Montgomery include:

  • "Rheotaxis revisited: a multi-behavioral and multisensory perspective on how fish orient to flow" (2020), published in Journal of Experimental Biology
  • "Satellite tags describe movement and diving behaviour of blue sharks Prionace glauca in the southwest Pacific" (2022), published in Marine Ecology Progress Series
  • "Comparison of auditory evoked potential thresholds in three shark species" (2023), published in Journal of Experimental Biology
  • "Spoiler baffle patch design for improved upstream passage of small-bodied fish" (2021), published in Ecological Engineering
  • "A new framework for assessing roughness elements in promoting fish passage at low-head instream structures" (2020), published in Journal of Ecohydraulics

The topics covered in these publications reflect a strong emphasis on aquatic and fish-related ecology, focusing on behavior, movement, and environmental adaptations. The integration of engineering perspectives in fish passage also illustrates an interdisciplinary approach within their research portfolio.
