Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Seabird

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Seabird, Foraging, Fishery and Albatross. His is involved in several facets of Ecology study, as is seen by his studies on Pelagic zone, Predation, Seasonal breeder, Habitat and Range. The various areas that Richard A. Phillips examines in his Seabird study include Trophic level, Isotope analysis, Spatial ecology and Skua.

His work in the fields of Foraging, such as Eudyptes chrysolophus, overlaps with other areas such as Geolocation. His Bycatch, Fishing, Discards and Sterna study in the realm of Fishery connects with subjects such as Intertropical Convergence Zone. His work carried out in the field of Albatross brings together such families of science as Interspecific competition, Spurious relationship, Random walk, Wandering albatross and Thalassarche melanophrys.

His most cited work include:

  • Revisiting Lévy flight search patterns of wandering albatrosses, bumblebees and deer. (653 citations)
  • Effects of satellite transmitters on albatrosses and petrels (390 citations)
  • Accuracy of geolocation estimates for flying seabirds (385 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Seabird, Foraging, Fishery and Albatross. His Ecology and Predation, Habitat, Pelagic zone, Range and Seasonal breeder investigations all form part of his Ecology research activities. In his study, Isotope analysis is inextricably linked to Trophic level, which falls within the broad field of Seabird.

His work focuses on many connections between Foraging and other disciplines, such as Zoology, that overlap with his field of interest in Reproduction. Richard A. Phillips interconnects Marine protected area and Threatened species in the investigation of issues within Fishery. His Albatross study incorporates themes from Phoebetria palpebrata, Wandering albatross and Thalassarche melanophrys.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (65.69%)
  • Seabird (36.93%)
  • Foraging (32.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Seabird (36.93%)
  • Ecology (65.69%)
  • Fishery (24.51%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Seabird, Ecology, Fishery, Foraging and Zoology. His Seabird study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as North sea. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Fishery, Overfishing, IUCN Red List, Body condition and Bay is strongly linked to Threatened species.

Richard A. Phillips has researched Foraging in several fields, including Range, Seasonal breeder, Habitat, Predation and Albatross. His work deals with themes such as Animal ecology and Phoebetria palpebrata, which intersect with Albatross. Euphausia is closely connected to Antarctic krill in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Zoology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Threats to seabirds: A global assessment (97 citations)
  • Translating Marine Animal Tracking Data into Conservation Policy and Management (79 citations)
  • High-coverage genomes to elucidate the evolution of penguins. (71 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • IUCN Red List
  • Statistics

Richard A. Phillips mainly focuses on Fishery, Seabird, Bycatch, Ecology and Foraging. His Seabird study is related to the wider topic of Predation. His Bycatch research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Marine protected area, Threatened species, Habitat, Ecology and Albatross.

Richard A. Phillips has included themes like Trophic level and IUCN Red List in his Habitat study. His works in Range, Apex predator, Fisheries management, Biodiversity and Climate change are all subjects of inquiry into Ecology. His Foraging study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Carrion and Seasonal breeder.
