Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Habitat

Her primary areas of study are Ecology, Fishery, Cetacea, Habitat and Seabird. Her Fishery research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Bay, Photo identification and Home range. Her work deals with themes such as Whale, Sound and Predation, which intersect with Cetacea.

Her research integrates issues of Western Hemisphere Warm Pool, Pacific ocean and Generalized additive model in her study of Habitat. She has researched Seabird in several fields, including Thermocline, Water column, Tuna, Piscivore and Forage fish. The concepts of her Oceanography study are interwoven with issues in Food web and Endemism.

Her most cited work include:

  • Techniques for cetacean-habitat modeling (293 citations)
  • SEABIRD COMMUNITY STRUCTURE ALONG A PRODUCTIVITY GRADIENT: IMPORTANCE OF COMPETITION AND ENERGETIC CONSTRAINT (198 citations)
  • Oceanographic influences on seabirds and cetaceans of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review (195 citations)

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

Lisa T. Ballance spends much of her time researching Oceanography, Ecology, Fishery, Seabird and Ecosystem. Habitat, Abundance, Predation, Whale and Marine ecosystem are among the areas of Ecology where the researcher is concentrating her efforts. Her work carried out in the field of Habitat brings together such families of science as Latitude and Generalized additive model.

Her Predation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Foraging and Bottlenose dolphin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Current and Forage fish in addition to Seabird. Her work on Ecosystem-based management as part of general Ecosystem research is often related to Deep diving, thus linking different fields of science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (47.62%)
  • Ecology (39.05%)
  • Fishery (36.19%)

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

  • Oceanography (47.62%)
  • Whale (21.90%)
  • Ecology (39.05%)

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

Her main research concerns Oceanography, Whale, Ecology, Predation and Climate change. She is studying Pelagic zone, which is a component of Oceanography. Her study deals with a combination of Ecology and Megafauna.

Her studies in Predation integrate themes in fields like Foraging, Krill and Blue Whales. She has included themes like Biomass and Plankton in her Climate change study. Her Plankton study incorporates themes from Ptychoramphus aleuticus, Seabird and Zooplankton.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Massive Mortality of a Planktivorous Seabird in Response to a Marine Heatwave (62 citations)
  • Massive Mortality of a Planktivorous Seabird in Response to a Marine Heatwave (62 citations)
  • Predicting cetacean distributions in data‐poor marine ecosystems (27 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Plankton, Climate change, Population abundance and Ecology. Lisa T. Ballance has included themes like Food web and Food chain in her Oceanography study. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Food web, Marine ecosystem is strongly linked to Multivariate ENSO index.

Lisa T. Ballance has researched Plankton in several fields, including Biomass, Ptychoramphus aleuticus, Seabird and Zooplankton. Her Population abundance study combines topics in areas such as Animal migration, Marine species and Marine spatial planning, Environmental resource management. Ecology covers Lisa T. Ballance research in Pelagic zone.
