What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Predation
- Habitat
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Predation, Fishery, Galeocerdo and Habitat.
His Ecology study is mostly concerned with Apex predator, Foraging, Seagrass, Marine ecosystem and Ecosystem.
In his research, Reef shark is intimately related to Trophic cascade, which falls under the overarching field of Apex predator.
His Predation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Competition, Dugong and Bottlenose dolphin.
Michael R. Heithaus combines topics linked to Life history with his work on Fishery.
His Habitat research incorporates elements of Fauna, Physiology and Life history theory.
His most cited work include:
- Predicting ecological consequences of marine top predator declines (837 citations)
- Patterns and ecosystem consequences of shark declines in the ocean. (526 citations)
- Decline in Relative Abundance of Bottlenose Dolphins Exposed to Long‐Term Disturbance (444 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Predation, Fishery, Habitat and Foraging.
Ecology is represented through his Seagrass, Trophic level, Ecosystem, Apex predator and Carcharhinus research.
His Apex predator research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trophic cascade and Alligator.
The concepts of his Predation study are interwoven with issues in Dugong, Sympatric speciation and Threatened species.
His research ties Bay and Fishery together.
His study in Foraging is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sea turtle and Turtle.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (64.32%)
- Predation (42.29%)
- Fishery (39.21%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Ecology (64.32%)
- Fishery (39.21%)
- Predation (42.29%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Michael R. Heithaus focuses on Ecology, Fishery, Predation, Ecosystem and Trophic level.
Many of his research projects under Ecology are closely connected to Megafauna with Megafauna, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His research in Fishery intersects with topics in Marine protected area, Habitat and Storm.
His Predation study focuses on Predator in particular.
Michael R. Heithaus combines subjects such as Subtropics and Extreme climate with his study of Ecosystem.
His research investigates the connection with Trophic level and areas like Carcharhinus which intersect with concerns in Leucas and Juvenile.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Key Questions in Marine Megafauna Movement Ecology (251 citations)
- Reefscapes of fear: predation risk and reef hetero-geneity interact to shape herbivore foraging behaviour. (61 citations)
- Megafaunal Impacts on Structure and Function of Ocean Ecosystems (59 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Habitat
Michael R. Heithaus mainly focuses on Ecology, Fishery, Ecosystem, Climate change and Reef.
Michael R. Heithaus undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Ecology and Megafauna in his work.
His study on Fishery is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Tiger shark.
His Climate change study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seagrass, Amphibolis antarctica and Disturbance.
The various areas that he examines in his Coral reef study include Galeocerdo, Isotope analysis, Pelagic zone and Predator.
His Trophic cascade study is concerned with the larger field of Predation.
