Overview

Nicholas K. Dulvy is affiliated with Simon Fraser University in Canada and has contributed extensively to the field of Environmental Science. Their research primarily focuses on nature and landscape conservation, global and planetary change, aquatic science, ecology, and molecular biology.

The scholar's work covers various key topics, including ichthyology and marine biology, fish ecology and management studies, fish biology and ecology studies, marine and fisheries research, fish biology, ecology, and behavior, physiological and biochemical adaptations, as well as identification and quantification in food.

Notable recent publications by Nicholas K. Dulvy include:

  • Overfishing drives over one-third of all sharks and rays toward a global extinction crisis (2021, Current Biology)
  • Half a century of global decline in oceanic sharks and rays (2021, Nature)
  • Overfishing and habitat loss drive range contraction of iconic marine fishes to near extinction (2021, Science Advances)
  • The thin edge of the wedge: Extremely high extinction risk in wedgefishes and giant guitarfishes (2020, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems)

The researcher frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Fish and Fisheries, Current Biology, and Science.

Collaborations are a significant aspect of their work, with frequent co-authors including Nathan Pacoureau, Colin A. Simpfendorfer, Rima W. Jabado, Riley A. Pollom, and Cassandra L. Rigby.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a career in Ecology and Evolution can often lead into related health or science fields, especially with the flexibility of online nursing degrees. If you are considering branching out, you may be interested in online options such as the rn to bsn 6 months programs, which allow registered nurses to upgrade their qualifications in a short timeframe. Similarly, there are efficient pathways like asn to fnp programs—these bridge programs let those with an associate’s degree progress rapidly toward becoming a family nurse practitioner.

For those aiming to take the next step, understanding how to become a np (nurse practitioner) can clarify both the educational requirements and possible accelerated options. Considering salaries and demand is also important—explore the differences in psychiatric np salary across states, which can influence your career decisions. These options open up diverse, rewarding career paths that combine healthcare, research, and ecological perspectives.
