What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Ecosystem
- Habitat
Rob Williams mostly deals with Ecology, Whale, Fishery, Abundance and Whale watching.
His Ecology research incorporates themes from Marine debris and Debris.
His study on Marine debris also encompasses disciplines like
- Microplastics that connect with fields like Ecosystem,
- Conservation status that connect with fields like Environmental resource management and Noise.
In the subject of general Fishery, his work in Baleen and Distance sampling is often linked to Social organization, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His study brings together the fields of Marine mammal and Abundance.
His work in Whale watching covers topics such as Foraging which are related to areas like Scan sampling, Endangered species, Protected area and Marine protected area.
His most cited work include:
- Estimating relative energetic costs of human disturbance to killer whales (Orcinus orca) (250 citations)
- Behavioural responses of killer whales (Orcinus orca) to whale-watching boats: opportunistic observations and experimental approaches (229 citations)
- Do experts make mistakes? A comparison of human and machine identification of dinoflagellates (184 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Fishery, Whale, Oceanography and Marine mammal are his primary areas of study.
His Whale watching, Abundance, Endangered species, Habitat and Wildlife study are his primary interests in Ecology.
His Abundance study which covers Population size that intersects with Rare species.
His research in Habitat intersects with topics in Marine debris and Debris.
His study focuses on the intersection of Fishery and fields such as Conservation status with connections in the field of Marine conservation.
His work carried out in the field of Whale brings together such families of science as Predation, Foraging, Threatened species, Wildlife conservation and Cetacea.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (50.00%)
- Fishery (40.68%)
- Whale (29.66%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Fishery (40.68%)
- Marine mammal (22.03%)
- Noise (6.78%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Fishery, Marine mammal, Noise, Bycatch and Whale.
His studies in Fishery integrate themes in fields like Hearing range, Total mortality and Detection bias.
His Marine mammal research includes elements of Soundscape, Humpback whale, Population growth, Oceanography and Cetacea.
His Noise research incorporates elements of Silence, Foraging and Baleen whale.
The concepts of his Bycatch study are interwoven with issues in Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, Data deficient, Threatened species and Pelagic zone.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endangered species, Bottlenose dolphin, Environmental resource management and Blubber.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Predicting the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls on cetacean populations through impacts on immunity and calf survival. (21 citations)
- Approaches to reduce noise from ships operating in important killer whale habitats. (12 citations)
- Taxonomic revision of the dolphin genus Lagenorhynchus (9 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Habitat
- Ecosystem
His main research concerns Zoology, Marine conservation, Habitat, Noise pollution and Whale.
His work in Marine conservation addresses issues such as Oceanography, which are connected to fields such as Marine mammal.
His research in Habitat intersects with topics in Source level, Fishery and Noise.
His study in Noise pollution is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Underwater noise, Soundscape, Endangered species and Noise.
His Whale research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Population growth, Cetacea, Bottlenose dolphin and Blubber.
His Species distribution study introduces a deeper knowledge of Ecology.
