Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Coral reef
  • Ecosystem

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Coral reef, Reef, Coral and Acropora. His work on Environmental issues with coral reefs, Resilience of coral reefs and Staghorn coral as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to White band disease, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His research investigates the link between Environmental issues with coral reefs and topics such as Aquaculture of coral that cross with problems in Overfishing, Coral reef fish and Coral reef protection.

His work on Coral Triangle as part of general Coral reef research is frequently linked to Extinction risk from global warming, bridging the gap between disciplines. Reef connects with themes related to Habitat in his study. The Coral bleaching and Agaricia tenuifolia research William F. Precht does as part of his general Coral study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Mortality rate, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His most cited work include:

  • One-third of reef-building corals face elevated extinction risk from climate change and local impacts (944 citations)
  • White-band disease and the changing face of Caribbean coral reefs (590 citations)
  • Assessing evidence of phase shifts from coral to macroalgal dominance on coral reefs (320 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Coral reef, Ecology, Reef, Coral and Oceanography. His Coral reef research is classified as research in Fishery. His study in Acropora, Resilience of coral reefs, Dominance, Herbivore and Agaricia tenuifolia is done as part of Ecology.

His study on Staghorn coral is often connected to White band disease as part of broader study in Acropora. William F. Precht works in the field of Reef, focusing on Environmental issues with coral reefs in particular. His work on Holocene, Storm and Coral growth as part of general Oceanography research is frequently linked to Simple, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Coral reef (75.81%)
  • Ecology (74.19%)
  • Reef (69.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Coral reef (75.81%)
  • Ecology (74.19%)
  • Reef (69.35%)

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

William F. Precht mainly investigates Coral reef, Ecology, Reef, Coral and Fishery. His Coral reef study focuses on Coral bleaching in particular. Borrowing concepts from Listing, William F. Precht weaves in ideas under Ecology.

His biological study focuses on Acropora. His work on Staghorn coral as part of general Acropora research is often related to White band disease, thus linking different fields of science. William F. Precht has included themes like Coral reef protection, Aquaculture of coral and Resilience of coral reefs in his Environmental issues with coral reefs study.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Unprecedented Disease-Related Coral Mortality in Southeastern Florida. (104 citations)
  • Native predators do not influence invasion success of pacific lionfish on Caribbean reefs. (85 citations)
  • Do no-take reserves benefit Florida’s corals? 14 years of change and stasis in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (55 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Coral reef
  • Ecosystem

William F. Precht spends much of his time researching Coral reef, Fishery, Ecology, Reef and Coral. His work in Coral reef addresses subjects such as Colpophyllia natans, which are connected to disciplines such as Diploria labyrinthiformis and Anthozoa. His research on Fishery often connects related topics like Predation.

His Reef research includes themes of Competition and Habitat. His Coral reef protection research incorporates themes from Marine protected area, Marine ecosystem, Aquaculture of coral and Montastraea. His Resilience of coral reefs research includes elements of Fringing reef, Coral cover, Benthic zone and Herbivore.
