Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Fishery, Carcharhinus, Chondrichthyes and Sphyrna. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology and Genetic variation, which intersect with Ecology. His Fishery research includes elements of Habitat and Wildlife.

His Carcharhinus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Isurus, Reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos, Prionace glauca and Carcharhinus melanopterus. His Sphyrna research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vertebrate and Hammerhead shark. While the research belongs to areas of Vertebrate, he spends his time largely on the problem of Zoology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Monophyly and Phylogenetic tree.

His most cited work include:

  • Global estimates of shark catches using trade records from commercial markets. (334 citations)
  • Identification of Shark Species Composition and Proportion in the Hong Kong Shark Fin Market Based on Molecular Genetics and Trade Records (179 citations)
  • Genetic Identification of Pelagic Shark Body Parts for Conservation and Trade Monitoring (143 citations)

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

Mahmood S. Shivji focuses on Ecology, Fishery, Zoology, Oceanography and Evolutionary biology. His biological study deals with issues like Biological dispersal, which deal with fields such as Brittle star. His Fishery research focuses on subjects like Endangered species, which are linked to IUCN Red List.

His work carried out in the field of Zoology brings together such families of science as Phylogeography, Phylogenetic tree, Genetic structure and Monophyly. His studies deal with areas such as Genetics, Billfish, Identification, Mitochondrial DNA and Microsatellite as well as Evolutionary biology. His studies examine the connections between Carcharhinus and genetics, as well as such issues in Chondrichthyes, with regards to Sphyrna.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (40.35%)
  • Fishery (32.75%)
  • Zoology (18.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (40.35%)
  • Fishery (32.75%)
  • Oceanography (15.20%)

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

Mahmood S. Shivji mainly focuses on Ecology, Fishery, Oceanography, Habitat and Pelagic zone. His Ecology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Biological dispersal. His research in Fishery intersects with topics in Biodiversity and Endangered species.

He has included themes like Continental shelf and Ecosystem in his Habitat study. As a part of the same scientific study, Mahmood S. Shivji usually deals with the Pelagic zone, concentrating on Stock assessment and frequently concerns with Subtropics and Marine ecosystem. He studied Carcharhinus and Genetic diversity that intersect with Zoology, Carcharhinus signatus and Sphyrna lewini.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global spatial risk assessment of sharks under the footprint of fisheries (77 citations)
  • Convergence of marine megafauna movement patterns in coastal and open oceans (48 citations)
  • Global population genetic dynamics of a highly migratory, apex predator shark (36 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Genus

Ecology, Fishery, Habitat, Pelagic zone and Isurus are his primary areas of study. His study on Ecology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Biological dispersal. His Fishery research integrates issues from Juvenile and Von bertalanffy.

His study in Habitat is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Marine vertebrate, Vertebrate and Climate change. His Pelagic zone research includes themes of Stock assessment and Fishing. His work on Shortfin mako shark as part of general Isurus research is often related to Satellite tracking, thus linking different fields of science.
