Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Ecology, Moniliophthora roreri, Genus and Crinipellis. His work on Moniliophthora perniciosa, Conidium, Eucalyptus pilularis and Corymbia maculata as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Cape verde, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work in Ecology addresses subjects such as Ophiocordyceps, which are connected to disciplines such as Clavicipitaceae, Hypocreales and Taxonomy.

His Moniliophthora roreri research incorporates themes from Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense, Agaricales and Species complex. His Genus research integrates issues from Cordyceps, Inoculation, Tolypocladium and Spore. The Habitat study combines topics in areas such as Ecosystem, Competition, EICA hypothesis, Introduced species and Biological dispersal.

His most cited work include:

  • BIOTIC INVASIONS: CAUSES, EPIDEMIOLOGY, GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES, AND CONTROL (5000 citations)
  • Atlas of entomopathogenic fungi (302 citations)
  • Endophytes and mycoparasites associated with an indigenous forest tree, Theobroma gileri , in Ecuador and a preliminary assessment of their potential as biocontrol agents of cocoa diseases (180 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Biological pest control, Ecology, Taxonomy and Weed. In his study, Hemileia vastatrix, Urediniospore and Coffea is inextricably linked to Rust, which falls within the broad field of Botany. His Biological pest control study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Weed control, Agronomy, Invasive species, Natural enemies and Introduced species.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ophiocordyceps, Zoology, Biological dispersal and Hypocreales in addition to Ecology. Harry C. Evans performs integrative Biological dispersal and Ant colony research in his work. His Taxonomy research includes themes of Hyphomycetes, Phylogenetic tree, Taxon, Pantropical and Hirsutella.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (74.00%)
  • Biological pest control (26.67%)
  • Ecology (28.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Botany (74.00%)
  • Fungus (16.00%)
  • Hemileia vastatrix (14.67%)

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

Harry C. Evans mainly focuses on Botany, Fungus, Hemileia vastatrix, Taxonomy and Moniliophthora. His Botany research includes elements of Puccinia and Nest. His research in Hemileia vastatrix intersects with topics in Calonectria, Inoculation, Fungicide, Spore and Chitinase.

Taxonomy is a subfield of Ecology that he explores. His research on Ecology often connects related topics like Evolutionary biology. His studies deal with areas such as Moniliophthora roreri and Marasmiaceae as well as Moniliophthora.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fungal Planet description sheets: 785–867 (53 citations)
  • From So Simple a Beginning: The Evolution of Behavioral Manipulation by Fungi. (47 citations)
  • Zombie-ant fungi across continents: 15 new species and new combinations within Ophiocordyceps. I. Myrmecophilous hirsutelloid species (30 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Genus

Harry C. Evans mainly investigates Eucalyptus, Botany, Ophiocordyceps, Moniliophthora perniciosa and Trichoderma. His study in the fields of Eucalyptus pilularis under the domain of Eucalyptus overlaps with other disciplines such as Eugenia capensis, Pittosporum tenuifolium and Olea capensis. His work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Plant litter.

His research investigates the link between Ophiocordyceps and topics such as Biting that cross with problems in Evolutionary biology. In Trichoderma, Harry C. Evans works on issues like Nest, which are connected to Plant use of endophytic fungi in defense. His research integrates issues of Ecology and Ophiocordyceps unilateralis in his study of Phylogenetics.
