Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Ecosystem

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Turtle, Juvenile, Sea turtle and Hatchling. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phylogeography, Fishery and Rookery. Her Turtle research integrates issues from Population genetics, Herbivore, Marine conservation, Environmental resource management and Thalassia testudinum.

Her Juvenile research includes themes of Adaptation, Pelagic zone, Habitat and Generalized additive model. Her studies in Sea turtle integrate themes in fields like Zoology, Ecology, Turtle, Population survey and Annual variation. Her Hatchling study incorporates themes from Trophic level, Whole blood and Nest.

Her most cited work include:

  • Historical overfishing and the recent collapse of coastal ecosystems. (4837 citations)
  • Global Trajectories of the Long-Term Decline of Coral Reef Ecosystems (1446 citations)
  • Regional Management Units for Marine Turtles: A Novel Framework for Prioritizing Conservation and Research across Multiple Scales (372 citations)

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

Karen A. Bjorndal mainly focuses on Ecology, Turtle, Sea turtle, Fishery and Foraging. Her study ties her expertise on Rookery together with the subject of Ecology. Her study focuses on the intersection of Turtle and fields such as Marine conservation with connections in the field of Conservation status.

The concepts of her Sea turtle study are interwoven with issues in Ecology and Population model. Her Fishery research incorporates themes from Marine ecosystem, Oceanography and Nesting. Her Foraging research also works with subjects such as

  • Isotope analysis that intertwine with fields like Trophic level,
  • Endangered species together with Conservation genetics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (70.62%)
  • Turtle (38.39%)
  • Sea turtle (22.75%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Ecology (70.62%)
  • Foraging (16.59%)
  • Turtle (38.39%)

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

Karen A. Bjorndal focuses on Ecology, Foraging, Turtle, Sea turtle and Habitat. Her Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Rookery. Her study on Foraging also encompasses disciplines like

  • Isotope analysis, which have a strong connection to Trophic level and Spatial distribution,
  • Scute together with Oceanography, Early juvenile, Lead and Conservation biology,
  • Intraspecific competition most often made with reference to Generalist and specialist species.

The subject of her Turtle research is within the realm of Fishery. Her research integrates issues of Population model, Productivity, Predation, Hatchling and Nest in her study of Sea turtle. The study incorporates disciplines such as Meta-analysis, Pelagic zone, Carapace and Phylogenetics in addition to Habitat.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (116 citations)
  • Foraging Ecology and Nutrition of Sea Turtles (107 citations)
  • Somatic growth dynamics of West Atlantic hawksbill sea turtles: a spatio‐temporal perspective (84 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Habitat
  • Ecosystem

Ecology, Foraging, Turtle, Sea turtle and Isotope analysis are her primary areas of study. Her Ecology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as mtDNA control region, Marine vertebrate and Natal homing. She has researched Foraging in several fields, including Fishery and Habitat.

Her Fishery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Productivity, Microplastics and Debris. Karen A. Bjorndal works mostly in the field of Turtle, limiting it down to topics relating to Juvenile and, in certain cases, Life stage, Generalist and specialist species and Scute, as a part of the same area of interest. Her work deals with themes such as Trophic level and Food web, which intersect with Isotope analysis.
