Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Lynn G. Clark mainly investigates Botany, Bambuseae, Evolutionary biology, Clade and Panicoideae. In his research, Polyphyly is intimately related to Monophyly, which falls under the overarching field of Botany. His Bambuseae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chusquea and Internal transcribed spacer.

Lynn G. Clark usually deals with Evolutionary biology and limits it to topics linked to NdhF and Genetic algorithm, Generation time, Grass family and Nonsynonymous substitution. He focuses mostly in the field of Clade, narrowing it down to topics relating to Isachne and, in certain cases, Sister group, Outgroup, Incertae sedis and Synapomorphy. His work in Panicoideae addresses subjects such as Chloridoideae, which are connected to disciplines such as Pooideae and Poeae.

His most cited work include:

  • Phylogeny and subfamilial classification of the grasses (Poaceae) (590 citations)
  • Mining EST databases to resolve evolutionary events in major crop species (304 citations)
  • A Phylogeny of the Grass Family (Poaceae) Based on ndhF Sequence Data (265 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Poaceae, Bambuseae, Bambusoideae and Chusquea. Botany is often connected to Monophyly in his work. His research integrates issues of Herbaceous plant, Geographic distribution and Habitat in his study of Poaceae.

Lynn G. Clark combines subjects such as Merostachys, Endemism and Molecular phylogenetics with his study of Bambuseae. His work carried out in the field of Bambusoideae brings together such families of science as Systematics and Atlantic forest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cloud forest, Sect and Subgenus in addition to Chusquea.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (74.34%)
  • Poaceae (51.97%)
  • Bambuseae (36.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Poaceae (51.97%)
  • Botany (74.34%)
  • Bambuseae (36.18%)

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

Poaceae, Botany, Bambuseae, Bambusoideae and Bamboo are his primary areas of study. His studies in Poaceae integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology, Clade and Herbaceous plant. His research in Evolutionary biology focuses on subjects like Chloroplast DNA, which are connected to Phylogenomics, Arundinarieae and Phylogenetic study.

His work in Botany is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Endemism. Lynn G. Clark has included themes like Taxonomy, Chusquea, Merostachys and Molecular phylogenetics in his Bambuseae study. The Bambusoideae study combines topics in areas such as Tropical ecology and Atlantic forest.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A 250 plastome phylogeny of the grass family (Poaceae): topological support under different data partitions (65 citations)
  • Leaf shape and size track habitat transitions across forest–grassland boundaries in the grass family (Poaceae) (19 citations)
  • Leaf micromorphology in Poaceae subtribe Olyrinae (Bambusoideae) and its systematic implications (7 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Poaceae, Genus, Bambusoideae and Bamboo. His studies deal with areas such as Lineage and Molecular phylogenetics as well as Botany. His Poaceae study also includes

  • Evolutionary biology, Phylogenomics and Chloroplast DNA most often made with reference to Systematics,
  • Clade that connect with fields like Morphometrics and Paleontology.

As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Genus, focusing on Herbaceous plant and, on occasion, Piresia and Genetic algorithm. His Chusquea study in the realm of Bamboo connects with subjects such as Ecophysiology. His Bambuseae study incorporates themes from Taxonomy, Merostachys and Morphology.
