  • 2011 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Host, Herbivore, Jasmonic acid and Ecology. The concepts of her Botany study are interwoven with issues in Plant defense against herbivory, Generalist and specialist species and Parasitic plant. Her Host research integrates issues from Vector, Virology, Plant virus, Aphid and Cucurbita pepo.

Her Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Solanum, Insect and Inbreeding, Inbreeding depression. Consuelo M. De Moraes has researched Ecology in several fields, including Signalling and Hybrid poplar. Her studies in Heliothis virescens integrate themes in fields like Caterpillar, Nicotiana tabacum and Interspecific competition.

Her most cited work include:

  • Caterpillar-induced nocturnal plant volatiles repel conspecific females (766 citations)
  • Plant defense priming against herbivores: getting ready for a different battle. (351 citations)
  • Deceptive chemical signals induced by a plant virus attract insect vectors to inferior hosts (340 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Herbivore, Ecology, Plant defense against herbivory and Host. As part of her studies on Botany, Consuelo M. De Moraes often connects relevant subjects like Jasmonic acid. Consuelo M. De Moraes interconnects Zoology, Solanum, Agronomy, Predation and Priming in the investigation of issues within Herbivore.

Her work on Foraging, Ecological significance and Olfaction as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Sensory cue, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work in Plant defense against herbivory addresses subjects such as Gall, which are connected to disciplines such as Plant physiology. Consuelo M. De Moraes has included themes like Plant virus, Cuscuta and Vector in her Host study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (58.14%)
  • Herbivore (52.71%)
  • Ecology (33.33%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Herbivore (52.71%)
  • Zoology (17.05%)
  • Plant defense against herbivory (32.56%)

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

Consuelo M. De Moraes mainly investigates Herbivore, Zoology, Plant defense against herbivory, Solidago altissima and Aphid. Her Herbivore research is classified as research in Botany. Stolon is the focus of her Botany research.

Her Zoology research includes elements of Pieris brassicae, Larva, Inbreeding depression, Reproduction and Insect. Her Plant defense against herbivory research incorporates elements of Arabidopsis thaliana, Chemical defense, Biological pest control and Trichome. The Solidago altissima study combines topics in areas such as Gall and Kairomone.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Variation in growth and defence traits among plant populations at different elevations: Implications for adaptation to climate change (12 citations)
  • Bumble bees damage plant leaves and accelerate flower production when pollen is scarce (10 citations)
  • A key floral scent component (β‐trans‐bergamotene) drives pollinator preferences independently of pollen rewards in seep monkeyflower (10 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Consuelo M. De Moraes mostly deals with Plant defense against herbivory, Herbivore, Pollinator, Horticulture and Pollen. Her Plant defense against herbivory study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pesticide, Agronomy, Gall, Solidago altissima and Priming. Her work on Chemical defense as part of general Herbivore research is frequently linked to Esfenvalerate, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her Pollinator study incorporates themes from Environmental change, Key, Inbreeding and Phenology. Many of her research projects under Horticulture are closely connected to Alate, Epicuticular wax and Rhopalosiphum maidis with Alate, Epicuticular wax and Rhopalosiphum maidis, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her Pollen study is related to the wider topic of Botany.
