Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Coevolution, Evolutionary biology, Fishing and Predation. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Spatial analysis, Biological dispersal and Genetic variation. Richard Law usually deals with Biological dispersal and limits it to topics linked to Logistic function and Competition.

His Coevolution study also includes

  • Evolutionary suicide which intersects with area such as Stochastic process, Game theory, Evolutionary game theory and Random walk,
  • Evolutionary dynamics which intersects with area such as Evolutionary algorithm, Evolutionary ecology and Dynamical systems theory. His Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Mathematical and theoretical biology, Natural selection and Management science. His Fishing study deals with Heritability intersecting with Selective breeding, Aquaculture and Sustainable yield.

His most cited work include:

  • The dynamical theory of coevolution: a derivation from stochastic ecological processes (900 citations)
  • Fishing, selection, and phenotypic evolution (736 citations)
  • The Geometry of Ecological Interactions: Simplifying Spatial Complexity (508 citations)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Fishing, Fishery, Competition and Biological dispersal. His study involves Predation, Ecology, Spatial ecology, Coevolution and Interspecific competition, a branch of Ecology. His Spatial ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spatial organization, Common spatial pattern and Spatial analysis.

Richard Law combines subjects such as Stochastic process and Evolutionary dynamics with his study of Coevolution. His Fishing research focuses on Ecosystem and how it connects with Productivity and Biomass. Richard Law has included themes like Niche differentiation and Extinction in his Competition study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (60.14%)
  • Fishing (13.29%)
  • Fishery (10.49%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Ecology (60.14%)
  • Fishing (13.29%)
  • Fishery (10.49%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Fishing, Fishery, Ecosystem and Biomass. His study in Plankton, Abundance, Allometry, Marine ecosystem and Pelagic zone falls within the category of Ecology. His Marine ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Food web and Predation.

His work on Fisheries management and Fish stock as part of his general Fishing study is frequently connected to Psychological resilience, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His studies in Fishery integrate themes in fields like Sardine and Mackerel. The various areas that he examines in his Ecosystem study include Productivity and Bycatch.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Reconsidering the Consequences of Selective Fisheries (324 citations)
  • On balanced exploitation of marine ecosystems: results from dynamic size spectra (100 citations)
  • Spatial patterns reveal negative density dependence and habitat associations in tropical trees. (95 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Statistics
  • Ecosystem

Richard Law mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Fishing, Fishery and Psychological resilience. Ecology connects with themes related to Neutral theory of molecular evolution in his study. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Bycatch, Range and Water column.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Directional selection, Natural resource economics and Environmental resource management. His studies in Fishery integrate themes in fields like Productivity and Biomass. His Niche study combines topics in areas such as Contrast, Spatial analysis and Ecology.
