Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Biodiversity
Ecosystem

Ecology, Biodiversity, Biomass, Coral reef fish and Reef are his primary areas of study. His Biodiversity research includes elements of Species evenness, Species richness and Conservation biology. His study in Biomass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Marine conservation, Fishery, Fishing and Marine protected area.

The Marine conservation study combines topics in areas such as Convention on Biological Diversity, Sustainability, Environmental impact assessment and Habitat. To a larger extent, Rick D. Stuart-Smith studies Coral reef with the aim of understanding Coral reef fish. The various areas that he examines in his Reef study include Global biodiversity and Marine reserve.

His most cited work include:

Global conservation outcomes depend on marine protected areas with five key features (867 citations)
Integrating abundance and functional traits reveals new global hotspots of fish diversity (287 citations)
Global Human Footprint on the Linkage between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Reef Fishes (252 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Reef, Coral reef, Fishery and Biodiversity. His Coral reef fish, Trophic level, Invertebrate, Habitat and Ecosystem investigations are all subjects of Ecology research. His Reef research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Abundance, Climate change and Temperate climate.

Rick D. Stuart-Smith has researched Coral reef in several fields, including Food web and Coral. The concepts of his Fishery study are interwoven with issues in Trophic cascade and Marine protected area. The study incorporates disciplines such as Conservation biology, Species richness, Threatened species and Relative species abundance in addition to Biodiversity.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (57.76%)
Reef (36.21%)
Coral reef (30.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

Ecology (57.76%)
Reef (36.21%)
Coral reef (30.17%)

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

His main research concerns Ecology, Reef, Coral reef, Coral reef fish and Habitat. His work in Ecosystem, Temperate climate, Macroecology and Biodiversity are all subfields of Ecology research. His Reef study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Range, Invertebrate, Climate change and Abundance.

Rick D. Stuart-Smith interconnects Biomass and Food web in the investigation of issues within Coral reef. His studies in Coral reef fish integrate themes in fields like Trophic level, Marine protected area and Species richness. His Marine protected area study frequently involves adjacent topics like Fishing.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Toward a Coordinated Global Observing System for Seagrasses and Marine Macroalgae (54 citations)
Climate resilience in marine protected areas and the 'Protection Paradox' (37 citations)
Ocean community warming responses explained by thermal affinities and temperature gradients (35 citations)
