Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Basal angiosperms, Austrobaileyales, Gynoecium and Evolutionary biology. Peter K. Endress has researched Botany in several fields, including Laurales and Asterids. His Basal angiosperms study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Archaefructus and Nymphaeales.

His Austrobaileyales research focuses on Amborellaceae and how it relates to Trimeniaceae. His study in Gynoecium is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sabiaceae, Perianth and Molecular phylogenetics. As a part of the same scientific study, Peter K. Endress usually deals with the Evolutionary biology, concentrating on Ecology and frequently concerns with Clade.

His most cited work include:

  • An ordinal classification for the families of flowering plants (1000 citations)
  • Diversity and evolutionary biology of tropical flowers (816 citations)
  • Morphological Phylogenetic Analysis of Basal Angiosperms: Comparison and Combination with Molecular Data (320 citations)

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

Peter K. Endress spends much of his time researching Botany, Gynoecium, Stamen, Perianth and Evolutionary biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Laurales and Anatomy. His Gynoecium course of study focuses on Ovary and Locule and Malpighiales.

His Stamen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genus and Floral symmetry. His studies deal with areas such as Tepal and Eudicots as well as Perianth. Peter K. Endress interconnects Ecology, Cladistics, Systematics and Molecular phylogenetics in the investigation of issues within Evolutionary biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (76.41%)
  • Gynoecium (36.41%)
  • Stamen (23.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Botany (76.41%)
  • Gynoecium (36.41%)
  • Stamen (23.59%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Gynoecium, Stamen, Evolutionary biology and Perianth. His Botany study frequently involves adjacent topics like Laurales. His work deals with themes such as Ovule, Anther dehiscence, Locule, Anatomy and Ovary, which intersect with Gynoecium.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Plant morphology, Synapomorphy, Apex, Petal and Sexual dimorphism in addition to Stamen. Peter K. Endress combines subjects such as Caryophyllales, Malpighiales and Molecular phylogenetics with his study of Evolutionary biology. The Perianth study combines topics in areas such as Taxon, Tepal and Pollination.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Phylogenomics and a posteriori data partitioning resolve the Cretaceous angiosperm radiation Malpighiales (217 citations)
  • The ancestral flower of angiosperms and its early diversification (130 citations)
  • Resolution of deep eudicot phylogeny and their temporal diversification using nuclear genes from transcriptomic and genomic datasets. (74 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Genus
  • Ecology

Botany, Gynoecium, Clade, Eudicots and Evolutionary biology are his primary areas of study. His research brings together the fields of Celastrales and Botany. His work carried out in the field of Gynoecium brings together such families of science as Perianth, Ovary and Anatomy.

His studies in Eudicots integrate themes in fields like Magnoliids, Chloranthaceae and Nymphaeales. His work in Evolutionary biology covers topics such as Tricolpate which are related to areas like Caryophyllales. The concepts of his Austrobaileyales study are interwoven with issues in Amborellaceae and Magnoliidae.
