Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Internal medicine

Øystein Wiig focuses on Ursus maritimus, Ecology, Arctic, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Ursus maritimus brings together such families of science as Population density, Animal ecology, Pesticide, Hexachlorobenzene and Environmental chemistry. He focuses mostly in the field of Ecology, narrowing it down to matters related to Sea ice and, in some cases, Habitat.

His research integrates issues of Genetic variation and Biota in his study of Arctic. His study in Endocrinology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Zoology, Environmental exposure and Reproduction. He studied Zoology and Polychlorinated biphenyl that intersect with The arctic.

His most cited work include:

  • QUANTIFYING THE SENSITIVITY OF ARCTIC MARINE MAMMALS TO CLIMATE-INDUCED HABITAT CHANGE (447 citations)
  • Predicting 21st‐century polar bear habitat distribution from global climate models (252 citations)
  • Polar and brown bear genomes reveal ancient admixture and demographic footprints of past climate change (249 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ursus maritimus, Ecology, Arctic, Zoology and Oceanography. His research on Ursus maritimus concerns the broader Sea ice. His is doing research in Climate change, Habitat, Predation, Abundance and Global warming, both of which are found in Ecology.

His Arctic study deals with Bay intersecting with Sound. His Zoology research includes themes of Skull, Endocrinology and Reproduction. His Oceanography study frequently links to related topics such as Fishery.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ursus maritimus (48.43%)
  • Ecology (36.32%)
  • Arctic (21.97%)

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

  • Ursus maritimus (48.43%)
  • Arctic (21.97%)
  • Zoology (21.08%)

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

Øystein Wiig mainly focuses on Ursus maritimus, Arctic, Zoology, Ecology and Sea ice. He has researched Ursus maritimus in several fields, including Litter, Bay and Physical geography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biological dispersal, Habitat and Marine mammal.

Øystein Wiig has included themes like Balaena, Lycaon pictus, Ancient DNA and Holocene in his Zoology study. His study in the fields of Abundance, Global warming and Meles under the domain of Ecology overlaps with other disciplines such as Phylogeography and Molecular phylogenetics. His Sea ice research incorporates themes from Range and Climate change.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Interspecific Gene Flow Shaped the Evolution of the Genus Canis. (48 citations)
  • The number and distribution of polar bears in the western Barents Sea (40 citations)
  • Identifying shifts in maternity den phenology and habitat characteristics of polar bears ( Ursus maritimus ) in Baffin Bay and Kane Basin (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Arctic, Ursus maritimus, Ecology, Canis and Zoology. His Arctic research integrates issues from Humpback whale, Baleen, Baleen whale and Sound. To a larger extent, Øystein Wiig studies Sea ice with the aim of understanding Ursus maritimus.

His work on Lead expands to the thematically related Ecology. His Canis study incorporates themes from Gene flow, Pleistocene and Ancient DNA. His research in Zoology intersects with topics in Biological dispersal and Latitude.
