Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Jeffrey G. Duckett spends much of his time researching Botany, Bryophyte, Mucoromycotina, Glomeromycota and Phylogenetics. His work deals with themes such as Haplomitrium and Sphagnum, which intersect with Botany. His Bryophyte study incorporates themes from Sporophyte, Embryophyte, Monophyly, Takakia and Cell wall.

His work in Glomeromycota addresses subjects such as Endogonales, which are connected to disciplines such as Endogone. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neohodgsonia and Colonization. Jeffrey G. Duckett has included themes like Desiccation, Devonian and Microtubule in his Spore study.

His most cited work include:

  • Symbiotic fungal associations in 'lower' land plants. (239 citations)
  • The dawn of symbiosis between plants and fungi (173 citations)
  • Major transitions in the evolution of early land plants: a bryological perspective (154 citations)

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

Jeffrey G. Duckett focuses on Botany, Ultrastructure, Sporophyte, Moss and Ecology. Botany is often connected to Mucoromycotina in his work. His Ultrastructure research includes elements of Cytoplasm, Cell biology and Blepharoplast.

The various areas that Jeffrey G. Duckett examines in his Sporophyte study include Hornwort and Guard cell. His research integrates issues of Gemma and Sphagnum in his study of Leafy. His research in Bryophyte intersects with topics in Cell wall, Takakia, Haplomitrium and Spore.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (72.46%)
  • Ultrastructure (17.37%)
  • Sporophyte (11.98%)

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

  • Botany (72.46%)
  • Mucoromycotina (10.78%)
  • Moss (11.38%)

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

Jeffrey G. Duckett mainly investigates Botany, Mucoromycotina, Moss, Endophyte and Ecology. Specifically, his work in Botany is concerned with the study of Sporophyte. His Mucoromycotina research incorporates themes from Clade and Ophioglossum vulgatum.

Jeffrey G. Duckett combines subjects such as Biodiversity, Gametangium and Spore with his study of Moss. His research in Endophyte focuses on subjects like Lycopodiella inundata, which are connected to Abiotic component. His studies in Ecology integrate themes in fields like Zoology and Ultrastructure.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Functional analysis of liverworts in dual symbiosis with Glomeromycota and Mucoromycotina fungi under a simulated Palaeozoic CO2 decline. (60 citations)
  • A mycorrhizal revolution. (43 citations)
  • The evolution of the stomatal apparatus: intercellular spaces and sporophyte water relations in bryophytes-two ignored dimensions. (30 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Mucoromycotina, Ecology, Phylogenetics and Ecology. His work in Botany covers topics such as Terrestrial ecosystem which are related to areas like Poikilohydry. His work in Mucoromycotina addresses issues such as Endophyte, which are connected to fields such as Complementarity and Nutrient.

His studies deal with areas such as Biosphere and Lycopodiella inundata as well as Ecology. His Phylogenetics research includes themes of Neohodgsonia and Colonization. His Ecology research incorporates elements of Weathering and Rhynie chert.
