What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Biochemistry
- Habitat
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Foraging, Seabird, Predation and Range.
His Ecology study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Environmental resource management.
His study focuses on the intersection of Foraging and fields such as Pelagic zone with connections in the field of Corticosterone, Blood sampling and Tern.
His research brings together the fields of Albatross and Seabird.
His work focuses on many connections between Predation and other disciplines, such as Interspecific competition, that overlap with his field of interest in Nest, Sympatric speciation, Seasonal breeder and Marine habitats.
He works mostly in the field of Range, limiting it down to topics relating to Climate change and, in certain cases, Sooty shearwater, Shearwater and Southern Hemisphere.
His most cited work include:
- Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean (780 citations)
- Migratory shearwaters integrate oceanic resources across the Pacific Ocean in an endless summer. (379 citations)
- Fast and fuel efficient? Optimal use of wind by flying albatrosses (311 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ecology, Foraging, Seabird, Predation and Albatross are his primary areas of study.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Ecology, Threatened species is strongly linked to Fishery.
His research on Foraging also deals with topics like
- Animal ecology which connect with Sea surface temperature,
- Zoology, which have a strong connection to Weaning.
When carried out as part of a general Seabird research project, his work on Kittiwake is frequently linked to work in Geolocation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Scott A. Shaffer interconnects Juvenile, Generalist and specialist species and Nest in the investigation of issues within Predation.
His Albatross study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wind speed, Biological dispersal and Global wind patterns.
He most often published in these fields:
- Ecology (83.80%)
- Foraging (56.34%)
- Seabird (32.39%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?
- Ecology (83.80%)
- Foraging (56.34%)
- Seabird (32.39%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Ecology, Foraging, Seabird, Zoology and Fishery.
In his research, Scott A. Shaffer performs multidisciplinary study on Ecology and Movement.
The Foraging study combines topics in areas such as Energy balance, Habitat, Predation, Energetics and Pelagic zone.
His Seabird research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Red-legged kittiwake and Albatross.
His Zoology study incorporates themes from Species richness, Rissa tridactyla and Larus occidentalis.
His work in Fishery addresses subjects such as Threatened species, which are connected to disciplines such as Biodiversity.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Key Questions in Marine Megafauna Movement Ecology (251 citations)
- Applying global criteria to tracking data to define important areas for marine conservation (105 citations)
- Convergence of marine megafauna movement patterns in coastal and open oceans (48 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Biochemistry
- Habitat
His primary areas of study are Ecology, Foraging, Predation, Climate change and Megafauna.
Scott A. Shaffer combines topics linked to Marine spatial planning with his work on Ecology.
His study explores the link between Foraging and topics such as Zoology that cross with problems in Home range, Larus occidentalis, Generalist and specialist species and Carnivore.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Conservation biology, Global commons, Nest and Biogeography in addition to Predation.
His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Reproductive success, Wind speed, Global wind patterns, Seabird and Albatross.
His studies in Apex predator integrate themes in fields like Range, Ecology, Ocean surface topography, Marine biology and Invertebrate.
