Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary areas of study are Ecology, Biogeography, Monophyly, Botany and Molecular phylogenetics. He interconnects Phylogeography, Clade and Phylogenetic tree in the investigation of issues within Ecology. His work investigates the relationship between Biogeography and topics such as Disjunct distribution that intersect with problems in Zoology.

His work carried out in the field of Monophyly brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Late Miocene, Genus, Disjunct and Biological dispersal. The study of Botany is intertwined with the study of Seed predation in a number of ways. His Molecular phylogenetics research includes themes of Helleborus and Subgenus.

His most cited work include:

  • Widespread impact of horizontal gene transfer on plant colonization of land (132 citations)
  • Phylogenetic and biogeographic complexity of Magnoliaceae in the Northern Hemisphere inferred from three nuclear data sets (106 citations)
  • Evolutionary history and underlying adaptation of alpine plants on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (103 citations)

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

Hang Sun spends much of his time researching Botany, Ecology, Genus, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. His research in Botany tackles topics such as Karyotype which are related to areas like Ploidy. His Ecology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Phylogeography.

His Evolutionary biology research incorporates themes from Genetic diversity, Genome, Gene, Genetic variation and Adaptation. His studies in Phylogenetic tree integrate themes in fields like Taxonomy and Phylogenetics. His study looks at the relationship between Monophyly and topics such as Biological dispersal, which overlap with Vicariance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (39.24%)
  • Ecology (32.99%)
  • Genus (16.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Ecology (32.99%)
  • Evolutionary biology (16.32%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (15.97%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Botany and Gene. Hang Sun has researched Ecology in several fields, including Phylogeography and Biological dispersal. His Evolutionary biology study incorporates themes from Genome, Fern, Adaptation, Taxonomy and Genetic variation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phylogenetics and Subgenus. Botany is closely attributed to Symbiosis in his research. His work in Clade tackles topics such as Genus which are related to areas like Genetic algorithm.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mountain biodiversity and ecosystem functions: interplay between geology and contemporary environments. (11 citations)
  • Geoclimatic factors influence the population genetic connectivity of Incarvillea arguta (Bignoniaceae) in the Himalaya–Hengduan Mountains biodiversity hotspot (7 citations)
  • A mycorrhizae-like gene regulates stem cell and gametophore development in mosses. (6 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Environmental niche modelling, Elevation, Botany and Horticulture. His study in Ecology focuses on Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Rupicola and Ecotone. His Environmental niche modelling research incorporates elements of Biodiversity hotspot and Phylogeography.

His biological study deals with issues like Biological dispersal, which deal with fields such as Range. The study incorporates disciplines such as Symbiosis and Horizontal gene transfer in addition to Botany. His work on Dormancy and Stratification as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Component, Ultraviolet and Attractiveness, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
