Overview

Barbara Gravendeel is affiliated with the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the Netherlands. Their work primarily spans several fields including Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Environmental Science. They focus on subfields such as Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Molecular Biology, Plant Science, Ecology, and Genetics.

Their research topics cover diverse aspects of biological and environmental studies, including:

  • Plant and animal studies
  • Plant Diversity and Evolution
  • Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions
  • Genetic diversity and population structure
  • Environmental DNA in Biodiversity Studies
  • Plant Reproductive Biology
  • Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies

Barbara Gravendeel has contributed to multiple scholarly publications, with recent notable papers including:

  • "Antimicrobial Activity of Necklace Orchids is Phylogenetically Clustered and can be Predicted With a Biological Response Method," 2021, Frontiers in Pharmacology
  • "The effects of COVID-19 litter on animal life," 2021, Animal Biology
  • "Hundreds of nuclear and plastid loci yield novel insights into orchid relationships," 2021, American Journal of Botany
  • "The origin and speciation of orchids," 2024, New Phytologist
  • "DNA metabarcoding using nrITS2 provides highly qualitative and quantitative results for airborne pollen monitoring," 2021, The Science of The Total Environment

Gravendeel frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Hugo de Boer, Diego Bogarín, Ilia J. Leitch, Erik Smets, and Oscar A. Pérez-Escobar.

Their work has appeared repeatedly in specific publication venues such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Plants
  • PLoS ONE
  • Research Square (Research Square)

Barbara Gravendeel has also authored a book titled Molecular identification of plants: from sequence to species, published in 2021 by Pensoft Publishers.
