What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Nigel P. Barker spends much of his time researching Ecology, Biological dispersal, Endemism, Taxon and Monophyly.
His work deals with themes such as Phylogeography and Vicariance, which intersect with Ecology.
The concepts of his Biological dispersal study are interwoven with issues in Isolation by distance, Genetic structure and Population genetics.
Nigel P. Barker has researched Endemism in several fields, including Escarpment, Biodiversity and Climate change.
His research in Monophyly intersects with topics in Zoology, Maximum parsimony, Botany, Pentaschistis and Supertree.
His research integrates issues of Pooideae and Chloridoideae in his study of Botany.
His most cited work include:
- Phylogeny and subfamilial classification of the grasses (Poaceae) (590 citations)
- Grasses of Southern Africa. (230 citations)
- Contrasted patterns of hyperdiversification in Mediterranean hotspots. (173 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Nigel P. Barker mostly deals with Ecology, Botany, Evolutionary biology, Endemism and Cape.
His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Escarpment, Phylogeography and Biological dispersal.
The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Arundinoideae and Monophyly.
Nigel P. Barker has included themes like Clade, Genetic diversity, Lineage, Genetic variation and Rytidosperma in his Evolutionary biology study.
His studies in Endemism integrate themes in fields like Floristics and Biota.
