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

Dennis W. Stevenson focuses on Botany, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Zamiaceae and Genetics. Cycad, Zamia, Taxonomy, Strobilus and Taxon are the subjects of his Botany studies. His Evolutionary biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Subfamily, Clade, Fern and Molecular phylogenetics.

His studies in Phylogenetics integrate themes in fields like Genome, Mitochondrial DNA and Phylogenetic tree. The study incorporates disciplines such as Systematics and Plant evolution in addition to Phylogenetic tree. Dennis W.

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Botany (44.49%)
  • Evolutionary biology (18.22%)
  • Phylogenetics (17.80%)

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

Dennis W. Stevenson mainly investigates Botany, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Zamiaceae and Ecology. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, his work on Cycad, Strobilus and Pollination is frequently linked to work in Branching and Laboratory research, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His work deals with themes such as Phylogenomics, Clade, Monophyly, Subfamily and Nuclear gene, which intersect with Evolutionary biology.

His Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from Physcomitrella, Extensin, Synteny and Phylogenetic tree. His Phylogenetic tree research is under the purview of Genetics. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Campynemataceae and Symbiosis.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Algal ancestor of land plants was preadapted for symbiosis (177 citations)
  • The Physcomitrella patens chromosome-scale assembly reveals moss genome structure and evolution. (156 citations)
  • Plastid genomes reveal support for deep phylogenetic relationships and extensive rate variation among palms and other commelinid monocots. (100 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenomics. His Phylogenetics research incorporates elements of Botany, Fern, Arabidopsis, Physcomitrella and Plant evolution. Many of his research projects under Botany are closely connected to Heterologous expression with Heterologous expression, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His Phylogenetic tree research includes elements of Strigolactone, Outgroup, Karrikin and Nuclear gene. His studies deal with areas such as Sister group, Chromosome, Transposable element and Physcomitrella patens as well as Evolutionary biology. In his study, Thismiaceae, Nymphaeales, Lemnoideae, Molecular phylogenetics and Hydatellaceae is inextricably linked to Arecales, which falls within the broad field of Phylogenomics.
