Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Genetics, Phylogenetic tree, Olive trees and Olea. Taxon is closely connected to Clade in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Botany. His Genetics study incorporates themes from Natural selection and Amplified fragment length polymorphism.

His study in Phylogenetic tree is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adaptation and Photosynthesis. His studies in Olive trees integrate themes in fields like Microsatellite and Germplasm. Guillaume Besnard focuses mostly in the field of Mediterranean Basin, narrowing it down to topics relating to Gene pool and, in certain cases, Ecology.

His most cited work include:

  • Oligocene CO2 Decline Promoted C4 Photosynthesis in Grasses (266 citations)
  • Anatomical enablers and the evolution of C4 photosynthesis in grasses (170 citations)
  • C4 Photosynthesis Evolved in Grasses via Parallel Adaptive Genetic Changes (160 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Ecology, Genetics, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. His work is dedicated to discovering how Botany, RAPD are connected with Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Dendrogram, Cultivar and Hybrid and other disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phylogeography and Genetic diversity in addition to Ecology.

His Evolutionary biology research includes themes of Genome, Nuclear gene, Monophyly, Herbarium and Phylogenomics. His research in Phylogenetic tree focuses on subjects like Phylogenetics, which are connected to Taxonomy. His work focuses on many connections between Microsatellite and other disciplines, such as Genetic variation, that overlap with his field of interest in Prunus serotina.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.94%)
  • Ecology (33.12%)
  • Genetics (28.66%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (22.93%)
  • Phylogenomics (6.37%)
  • Genome (14.01%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Evolutionary biology, Phylogenomics, Genome, Botany and Gene flow. The concepts of his Evolutionary biology study are interwoven with issues in Phylogenetics, Gene, Nuclear gene and Fossil Record. His Genome study combines topics in areas such as Species diversity, Graminicola, Phylogenetic tree and Sequence assembly.

His Phylogenetic tree study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. His Botany research focuses on Nematode and how it relates to Ploidy and Ribosomal DNA. His Gene flow research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecology and Noronhia.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lateral transfers of large DNA fragments spread functional genes among grasses. (38 citations)
  • C4 anatomy can evolve via a single developmental change. (22 citations)
  • Evolutionary transcriptomics reveals the origins of olives and the genomic changes associated with their domestication (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Gene
  • Genus

His primary areas of investigation include Evolutionary biology, Genome, Gene, Alloteropsis and Graminicola. Guillaume Besnard combines subjects such as Taxonomic rank, Phylogenetics, Species diversity, Adaptation and Olea with his study of Evolutionary biology. He interconnects Phylogenetic tree and Coalescent theory in the investigation of issues within Genome.

His Phylogenetic tree research includes elements of Nematode and Intraspecific competition. His Gene research incorporates elements of Life history theory, Domestication, Genetic diversity and Mediterranean Basin. His Transcriptome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phenotype, Olive trees and Photosynthesis, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
