Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Ecosystem

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Biodiversity, Introduced species, Climate change and Biofilm. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Hydrology. His Biodiversity study which covers Biogeography that intersects with Microbial biodiversity, Colonization, Extinction and Microorganism.

His Introduced species research incorporates themes from Environmental protocol, Natural resource, Peninsula and Invasive species. His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Microbial population biology, Community structure and Disturbance. His Biofilm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lysis, Biochemistry and Microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Impacts of local human activities on the Antarctic environment. (279 citations)
  • Biofilm susceptibility to bacteriophage attack: the role of phage-borne polysaccharide depolymerase. (260 citations)
  • The interaction of phage and biofilms. (236 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Biodiversity, Environmental resource management, Maximal function and Peninsula. His work in Ecology tackles topics such as Biological dispersal which are related to areas like Terrestrial ecosystem. Kevin A. Hughes interconnects Range, Indigenous, Biota and Biogeography in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity.

His studies examine the connections between Environmental resource management and genetics, as well as such issues in Environmental protocol, with regards to Environmental protection. His research integrates issues of Microorganism and Oceanography, Shetland, Bay in his study of Peninsula. His Introduced species research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Propagule and Propagule pressure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (36.81%)
  • Biodiversity (17.36%)
  • Environmental resource management (13.89%)

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

  • Ecology (36.81%)
  • Pure mathematics (5.56%)
  • Maximal function (13.19%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Pure mathematics, Maximal function, Ecosystem services and Biodiversity. His Peninsula, Climate change, Ecosystem and Species distribution study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Natural, bridging the gap between disciplines. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Indigenous, Archipelago, Invertebrate, Biological dispersal and Terrestrial ecosystem.

His Ecosystem services research incorporates elements of Bequest, Marine ecosystem, Environmental resource management and Tourism. The Biodiversity study combines topics in areas such as Collembola , Arthropod and Introduced species. His work investigates the relationship between Introduced species and topics such as Invasive species that intersect with problems in Biosecurity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Invasive non-native species likely to threaten biodiversity and ecosystems in the Antarctic Peninsula region. (29 citations)
  • Antarctica: The final frontier for marine biological invasions. (27 citations)
  • Human-mediated dispersal of terrestrial species between Antarctic biogeographic regions: A preliminary risk assessment. (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Mathematical analysis

Kevin A. Hughes mostly deals with Ecology, Ecosystem, Climate change, Biodiversity and Species distribution. Kevin A. Hughes regularly links together related areas like Introduced species in his Ecosystem studies. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Introduced species, focusing on Biosecurity and, on occasion, Invertebrate.

Biodiversity and Peninsula are frequently intertwined in his study. His Peninsula research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Indigenous, Biological dispersal, Archipelago and Biogeography. His studies in Species distribution integrate themes in fields like Range, Endangered species, Vulnerability index and Niche.
