Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Mediterranean sea, Posidonia oceanica, Fishery and Marine protected area. His Mediterranean sea study results in a more complete grasp of Mediterranean climate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Littoral zone and Oceanography in addition to Mediterranean climate.

His work carried out in the field of Fishery brings together such families of science as Conservation status, IUCN Red List, Endangered species and Extinction. He has included themes like Marine ecosystem, Environmental resource management and Marine reserve, Fishing in his Marine protected area study. His study in Marine ecosystem is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trophic level, Kelp forest and Coral reef.

His most cited work include:

  • Trophic cascades in benthic marine ecosystems: lessons for fisheries and protected-area management (398 citations)
  • Marine ecosystems' responses to climatic and anthropogenic forcings in the Mediterranean (279 citations)
  • Are the Mediterranean waters becoming warmer? Information from biological indicators (227 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Fishery, Mediterranean climate, Mediterranean sea and Marine protected area. Posidonia oceanica, Habitat, Benthic zone, Biodiversity and Cystoseira are subfields of Ecology in which his conducts study. The various areas that Patrice Francour examines in his Fishery study include Trophic level, Diplodus, Sparidae and Coastal fish.

His work carried out in the field of Mediterranean climate brings together such families of science as Rare species, Actinopterygii, National park and Littoral zone, Oceanography. His research investigates the connection with Mediterranean sea and areas like Climate change which intersect with concerns in Range, Ecological niche and Pelagic zone. Patrice Francour has researched Marine protected area in several fields, including Biomass, Marine ecosystem, Marine reserve, Protected area and Species richness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (44.35%)
  • Fishery (38.71%)
  • Mediterranean climate (33.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Fishery (38.71%)
  • Ecology (44.35%)
  • Mediterranean climate (33.87%)

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

Patrice Francour spends much of his time researching Fishery, Ecology, Mediterranean climate, Marine protected area and Habitat. His Fishery research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trophic level, Coastal fish, Ecosystem and Marine biology. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Coris and Ecology.

His research integrates issues of Environmental chemistry, Bioaccumulation, Condition index and Meristics in his study of Mediterranean climate. His studies in Marine protected area integrate themes in fields like Biomass, Species diversity and Fishing. His research in Habitat intersects with topics in Reef, Biodiversity, Species richness and Environmental resource management.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Five key attributes can increase marine protected areas performance for small-scale fisheries management. (88 citations)
  • Seasonal assessment of biological indices, bioaccumulation and bioavailability of heavy metals in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis from Algerian west coast, applied to environmental monitoring ☆ (51 citations)
  • Effects of ocean acidification and diet on thickness and carbonate elemental composition of the test of juvenile sea urchins (34 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Genus

Patrice Francour focuses on Biodiversity, Marine ecosystem, Ecology, Marine protected area and Trophic level. His Marine ecosystem research includes themes of Introduced organisms, Alien species, Environmental resource management and Environmental planning. His research related to Abundance, Benthic zone and Forest ecology might be considered part of Ecology.

He has included themes like Biomass and Fisheries management, Fishing in his Marine protected area study. His work deals with themes such as Fishery and Mediterranean sea, which intersect with Biomass. His study on Trophic level also encompasses disciplines like

  • Artisanal fishing that connect with fields like Species richness,
  • Mytilus together with Mediterranean climate.
