His main research concerns Ecology, Species richness, Environmental resource management, Fishing and Oceanography.
Intertidal zone, Abundance, Intraspecific competition, Interspecific competition and Range are the core of his Ecology study.
Omar Defeo has included themes like Salinity, Supralittoral zone, Ecosystem, Swash and Donax hanleyanus in his Species richness study.
The various areas that Omar Defeo examines in his Environmental resource management study include Population growth, Sustainability and Threatened species.
His study with Fishing involves better knowledge in Fishery.
His Oceanography research includes themes of Trophic level, Microbial loop and Marine ecosystem.
His most cited work include:
- Leadership, social capital and incentives promote successful fisheries (837 citations)
- Threats to sandy beach ecosystems: A review (693 citations)
- Oyster Reefs at Risk and Recommendations for Conservation, Restoration, and Management (604 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Fishery, Oceanography, Fishing and Abundance.
His study in Ecology focuses on Habitat, Species richness, Ecosystem, Intertidal zone and Range.
His work deals with themes such as Spatial ecology and Spatial distribution, which intersect with Oceanography.
His Fishing research incorporates themes from Bivalvia and Environmental resource management.
His Environmental resource management research focuses on Sustainability and how it relates to Fisheries science.
His studies deal with areas such as Biomass and Estuary as well as Abundance.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (51.30%)
- Fishery (29.87%)
- Oceanography (20.78%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Ecology (51.30%)
- Fishery (29.87%)
- Ecosystem (14.29%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Omar Defeo mainly focuses on Ecology, Fishery, Ecosystem, Climate change and Oceanography.
His study in Ecology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sediment and Biological dispersal.
His work in the fields of Fishery, such as Fishing, Fish stock and Reef, intersects with other areas such as Business and China.
Omar Defeo interconnects Biomass, Biodiversity, Sand dune stabilization and Groundwater in the investigation of issues within Ecosystem.
He works mostly in the field of Oceanography, limiting it down to topics relating to Swash and, in certain cases, Beach nourishment, as a part of the same area of interest.
In his study, Abundance is strongly linked to Shore, which falls under the umbrella field of Species richness.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Advances in sandy beach research – Local and global perspectives (14 citations)
- Characterising sandy beaches into major types and states: Implications for ecologists and managers (11 citations)
- Behavioral adaptations of sandy beach macrofauna in face of climate change impacts: A conceptual framework (9 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Biodiversity
Omar Defeo focuses on Climate change, Ecosystem, Oceanography, Effects of global warming on oceans and Habitat.
His studies in Climate change integrate themes in fields like Storm, Climatology, Sea surface temperature, Coastal management and Submarine pipeline.
His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Human pressure, Abundance, Indicator species and Environmental resource management.
Omar Defeo combines subjects such as Management implications and Community type with his study of Oceanography.
His Effects of global warming on oceans study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmospheric circulation, Effects of global warming, Fishery and Global wind patterns.
Habitat is the subject of his research, which falls under Ecology.
