Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Bacteria
Sponge

His primary areas of study are Sponge, Ecology, Chemical defense, Botany and Coral reef. He combines topics linked to Abundance with his work on Sponge. Ecology is closely attributed to Halichondria in his study.

Joseph R. Pawlik has included themes like Zoology, Thalassoma, Antimicrobial and Styela plicata in his Chemical defense study. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, his work on Algae is frequently linked to work in Allelopathy, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Coral reef research incorporates themes from Reef, Giant barrel sponge and Geodia gibberosa.

His most cited work include:

The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (738 citations)
Chemical ecology of the settlement of benthic marine invertebrates (680 citations)
Marine invertebrate chemical defenses (327 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sponge, Ecology, Coral reef, Reef and Chemical defense. His Sponge research is under the purview of Botany. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Zoology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Benthos and Overfishing. His Reef research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abundance, Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Habitat. His Chemical defense course of study focuses on Thalassoma and Agelas clathrodes.

He most often published in these fields:

Sponge (54.27%)
Ecology (51.22%)
Coral reef (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

Sponge (54.27%)
Reef (24.39%)
Ecology (51.22%)

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

His main research concerns Sponge, Reef, Ecology, Coral reef and Ecosystem. He does research in Sponge, focusing on Smenospongia aurea specifically. His Reef research includes elements of Abundance, Resource, Biodiversity, Food web and Benthic zone.

Chemical defense, Environmental issues with coral reefs and Ocean acidification are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Coral reef research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Optimal foraging theory, Foraging and Giant barrel sponge. His work in the fields of Ecosystem, such as Carbon cycle, Seagrass, Ecosystem services and Resilience of coral reefs, overlaps with other areas such as Environmental science.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

A test of the sponge-loop hypothesis for emergent Caribbean reef sponges (35 citations)
Nutrient Fluxes and Ecological Functions of Coral Reef Sponges in a Changing Ocean (31 citations)
The Emerging Ecological and Biogeochemical Importance of Sponges on Coral Reefs. (20 citations)

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

Ecology
Bacteria
Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Reef, Sponge, Ecosystem and Coral reef. His Ecology study incorporates themes from Fishery and Respiration. His studies in Sponge integrate themes in fields like Dissolved organic carbon, Chemical defense and Detritus.

The various areas that Joseph R. Pawlik examines in his Ecosystem study include Historical ecology, Benthic zone and Ocean acidification. His work deals with themes such as Ecosystem engineer, Habitat and Giant barrel sponge, which intersect with Benthic zone. His study in Coral reef is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Food web and Ecosystem services.
