Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Predation

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Intertidal zone, Ecosystem, Environmental resource management and Keystone species. His study ties his expertise on Disturbance together with the subject of Ecology. His work in the fields of Intertidal zone, such as Pisaster, overlaps with other areas such as Pollicipes polymerus.

His study in the field of Mesopredator release hypothesis also crosses realms of Natural resource economics. His Environmental resource management research integrates issues from Patch formation and Community structure. He has included themes like Food web, Species diversity and Ecosystem diversity in his Keystone species study.

His most cited work include:

  • Food Web Complexity and Species Diversity (4080 citations)
  • Trophic Downgrading of Planet Earth (2277 citations)
  • Food webs : linkage, interaction strength and community infrastructure (1397 citations)

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

Robert T. Paine spends much of his time researching Ecology, Intertidal zone, Predation, Ecosystem and Ecology. Robert T. Paine regularly ties together related areas like Fishery in his Ecology studies. His Intertidal zone research includes elements of Bay and Herbivore.

His study in Predation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Energetics and Habitat. His research integrates issues of Biomass and Ungulate in his study of Ecosystem. The Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Natural and Apex predator.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (73.75%)
  • Intertidal zone (23.75%)
  • Predation (12.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2017)?

  • Ecology (73.75%)
  • Ecosystem (12.50%)
  • Ecology (11.25%)

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

Robert T. Paine mainly focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Ecology, Endangered species and Keystone species. Ecology is frequently linked to Fishery in his study. His Ecosystem study which covers Biodiversity that intersects with Trophic level.

His Keystone species research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Human ecology and Umbrella species. The concepts of his Predation study are interwoven with issues in Terrestrial ecosystem and Local extinction. Robert T. Paine studies Pisaster, a branch of Intertidal zone.

Between 2003 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Trophic Downgrading of Planet Earth (2277 citations)
  • Climate Change and the Integrity of Science (122 citations)
  • Contingencies and compounded rare perturbations dictate sudden distributional shifts during periods of gradual climate change. (86 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Biodiversity

Robert T. Paine focuses on Ecology, Ecosystem, Biodiversity, Climate change and Human ecology. His Ecology research focuses on Endangered species in particular. His studies deal with areas such as Trophic level and Climatology, Tipping point as well as Ecosystem.

His Biodiversity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trophic cascade, Biosphere, Freshwater ecosystem and Food chain. The various areas that Robert T. Paine examines in his Climate change study include Warm front, Sea level and Greenhouse gas. The study incorporates disciplines such as Keystone species, Habitat, Biomass, Ecology and Umbrella species in addition to Human ecology.
