Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Phytoplankton

His main research concerns Oceanography, Ecology, Phytoplankton, Polar front and Estuary. His work on Oceanography deals in particular with Biomass, Pelagic zone, Salp, Water mass and Euphausia. His work on Zooplankton, Themisto gaudichaudii and Lanternfish as part of his general Ecology study is frequently connected to Composition, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Phytoplankton research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Diatom and Plankton. His study in Diatom is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nanophytoplankton and Hydrography. Renzo Perissinotto has included themes like Abundance, Food web and Species diversity in his Estuary study.

His most cited work include:

  • Phytoplankton production and biomass at frontal zones in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean (176 citations)
  • Prey composition and daily rations of myctophid fishes in the Southern Ocean (171 citations)
  • Salp/krill interactions in the Southern Ocean:spatial segregation and implications for the carbon flux (129 citations)

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

Renzo Perissinotto focuses on Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Ecology, Zooplankton and Environmental science. His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Subtropics and Grazing. His Phytoplankton study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hydrography, Pelagic zone, Transect and Plankton.

His work on Benthic zone, Estuary, Crustacean and Salinity as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Population, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Zooplankton research integrates issues from Copepod, Indian ocean, Biomass, Zooplankton grazing and Diel vertical migration. In his research, Primary producers is intimately related to Nanophytoplankton, which falls under the overarching field of Biomass.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (81.48%)
  • Phytoplankton (59.26%)
  • Ecology (55.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2013)?

  • Ecology (55.56%)
  • Estuary (18.52%)
  • Oceanography (81.48%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Estuary, Oceanography, Zooplankton and Phytoplankton. The study incorporates disciplines such as Abundance and Grazing in addition to Estuary. His work in the fields of Oceanography, such as Euphausia, intersects with other areas such as Chlorophyll a.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Food web under Zooplankton, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Plankton, Species diversity and Grazing pressure. His Nanophytoplankton study, which is part of a larger body of work in Phytoplankton, is frequently linked to Sewage, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Biomass intersects with topics in Nutrient and Eutrophication.

Between 2001 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Salp/krill interactions in the Southern Ocean:spatial segregation and implications for the carbon flux (129 citations)
  • Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Phytoplankton and Microphytobenthos in a South African Temporarily-open Estuary (91 citations)
  • The zooplankton community of the Mpenjati Estuary, a South African temporarily open/closed system (83 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

His main research concerns Oceanography, Estuary, Biomass, Ecology and Chlorophyll a. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Abundance and Crustacean. Renzo Perissinotto has researched Abundance in several fields, including Zooplankton, Acartia, Grazing pressure, Species diversity and Food web.

His work deals with themes such as Water mass, Pelagic zone and Salp, which intersect with Crustacean. His Chlorophyll a studies intersect with other disciplines such as Environmental science, Spatial variability, Seasonality, Phytoplankton and Context. His Euphausiacea research is classified as research in Krill.
