Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Flowering plant

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Systematics, Asparagales, Gynoecium and Stamen. Her research investigates the link between Botany and topics such as Dioscoreales that cross with problems in Pandanales. Her work deals with themes such as Taxon, Synapomorphy and Pollen, which intersect with Systematics.

Her Asparagales research includes elements of Iridaceae, Xanthorrhoea and Asphodelaceae. Her study explores the link between Gynoecium and topics such as Tepal that cross with problems in Neuwiedia, Pseudocopulation and Anatomy. Paula J. Rudall works mostly in the field of Stamen, limiting it down to topics relating to Whorl and, in certain cases, Flagellaria, Ecdeiocoleaceae, Floral symmetry and Peramorphosis, as a part of the same area of interest.

Her most cited work include:

  • Pointillist structural color in Pollia fruit (277 citations)
  • Systematics and Biology of Silica Bodies in Monocotyledons (256 citations)
  • Calcium Oxalate Crystals in Monocotyledons: A Review of their Structure and Systematics (241 citations)

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

Paula J. Rudall spends much of her time researching Botany, Evolutionary biology, Systematics, Anatomy and Gynoecium. Paula J. Rudall works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Asparagales and, in certain cases, Liliales. Her research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Hydatellaceae and Morphology.

Her Systematics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Taxon. Paula J. Rudall focuses mostly in the field of Anatomy, narrowing it down to matters related to Taxonomy and, in some cases, Iridaceae. Her work carried out in the field of Perianth brings together such families of science as Sepal and Petal.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (74.76%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.78%)
  • Systematics (11.18%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Botany (74.76%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.78%)
  • Genus (9.27%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Evolutionary biology, Genus, Context and Petal. Paula J. Rudall works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to concerns involving Iridescence and, occasionally, Cuticle. Her Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Hydatellaceae, Gymnadenia, Nymphaeales, Dactylorhiza and DNA sequencing.

Her work in Genus covers topics such as Orchidaceae which are related to areas like Speciation and Morphometrics. Her study in the field of Labellum also crosses realms of Nepeta. Her Poales study deals with PACMAD clade intersecting with Poaceae.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Disorder in convergent floral nanostructures enhances signalling to bees (59 citations)
  • The flower of Hibiscus trionum is both visibly and measurably iridescent (49 citations)
  • Structural colour from helicoidal cell-wall architecture in fruits of Margaritaria nobilis (32 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Flowering plant

Paula J. Rudall mostly deals with Botany, Ecology, Petal, Context and Pollination. Paula J. Rudall has researched Botany in several fields, including Iridescence and Cuticle. The Ecology study which covers Evolutionary biology that intersects with Clade, Biogeography, Biological dispersal, Phylogeography and Vicariance.

Her study in Pollination is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bract and Caesalpinioideae. Her Bract research includes themes of Tepal and Bombus terrestris. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Poales, Tofieldia are connected with Taxon and other disciplines.
