Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Eucalyptus, Canker, Ceratocystis and Ecology. Jolanda Roux combines subjects such as Inoculation and Pathogen with her study of Botany. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agroforestry, Woody plant, Mycosphaerella, Myrtaceae and Forestry in addition to Eucalyptus.

Her Agroforestry research incorporates themes from Tropics, Natural enemies, Southern Hemisphere and Botryosphaeria. Her Canker research includes themes of Range, Tibouchina and Diaporthales. Her Ceratocystis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ceratocystis fimbriata, Acacia and Microascales.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fungal Planet description sheets: 214–280 (209 citations)
  • Eucalypt pests and diseases: growing threats to plantation productivity (156 citations)
  • Worldwide Movement of Exotic Forest Fungi, Especially in the Tropics and the Southern Hemisphere (128 citations)

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

Jolanda Roux focuses on Botany, Eucalyptus, Ecology, Canker and Ceratocystis. Her Botany research includes elements of Inoculation and Internal transcribed spacer. Her Eucalyptus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Syzygium, Mycology, Horticulture and Myrtaceae.

Her Ecology research focuses on subjects like Genetic diversity, which are linked to Microsatellite, Genetic variation and Genotype. She focuses mostly in the field of Canker, narrowing it down to topics relating to Botryosphaeria and, in certain cases, Lasiodiplodia. Her Ceratocystis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Acacia mearnsii, Wilting, Microascales, Ceratocystis fimbriata and Acacia.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (59.32%)
  • Eucalyptus (36.44%)
  • Ecology (22.88%)

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

  • Botany (59.32%)
  • Eucalyptus (36.44%)
  • Ecology (22.88%)

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

Her main research concerns Botany, Eucalyptus, Ecology, Canker and Myrtaceae. Her Botany research integrates issues from Lasiodiplodia and Internal transcribed spacer. Jolanda Roux has included themes like Acacia mearnsii, Syzygium, Horticulture, Melastomataceae and Myrtales in her Eucalyptus study.

Her studies deal with areas such as Agroforestry, Ceratocystis and Microascales as well as Ecology. Her studies in Canker integrate themes in fields like Fungus, Quarantine and Genetic diversity. The Myrtaceae study combines topics in areas such as Urediniospore, Entomology, Syzygium jambos and Ribosomal DNA.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Fungal Planet description sheets: 400–468 (102 citations)
  • Fungal Planet description sheets: 785–867 (53 citations)
  • Host jumps shaped the diversity of extant rust fungi (Pucciniales) (41 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Eucalyptus, Ecology, Puccinia psidii and Myrtaceae. Many of her research projects under Botany are closely connected to Cape verde with Cape verde, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her study in Eucalyptus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Leaf spot, Twig, Forestry, Plant litter and Phyllosticta.

In the subject of general Ecology, her work in Subtropics is often linked to Outbreak, thereby combining diverse domains of study. She has researched Puccinia psidii in several fields, including Urediniospore, Phylogenetics and Melaleuca. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ascomycota, Taxon, Hybrid, Botryosphaeria and Taxonomy.
