Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Her primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Archaea, Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics and Deep sea. Her Ecology study combines topics in areas such as Ribosomal RNA, Protist, Picoeukaryote and Metagenomics. Her Ribosomal RNA research incorporates themes from Alveolate, Picoplankton and Aphotic zone.

Her Archaea research is included under the broader classification of Biochemistry. Her Evolutionary biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Symbiosis, Syntrophy and Gene, Phylogenetic tree. Her research in Deep sea intersects with topics in Hydrothermal circulation and Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Her most cited work include:

  • Unexpected diversity of small eukaryotes in deep-sea Antarctic plankton. (736 citations)
  • Autochthonous eukaryotic diversity in hydrothermal sediment and experimental microcolonizers at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (282 citations)
  • The molecular ecology of microbial eukaryotes unveils a hidden world (261 citations)

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

Purificación López-García mainly investigates Evolutionary biology, Ecology, Archaea, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Clade, Monophyly, Molecular phylogenetics and Ribosomal RNA, Gene. Her work in the fields of Gene, such as Hyperthermophile, overlaps with other areas such as DNA supercoil.

Her research integrates issues of Deep sea, Protist and Metagenomics in her study of Ecology. Her Archaea study incorporates themes from Genome and Horizontal gene transfer. Her Phylogenetics research is under the purview of Genetics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Evolutionary biology (27.83%)
  • Ecology (28.70%)
  • Archaea (21.74%)

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

  • Evolutionary biology (27.83%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (17.39%)
  • Ecology (28.70%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Ecology, Gene and Genome. Her Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Phylogenomics, Phylogenetics, Clade, Monophyly and Symbiosis. Her Phylogenetic tree course of study focuses on Genus and Pseudogene, Tribonema and Paraphyly.

Ecology is closely attributed to Protist in her study. Many of her research projects under Gene are closely connected to Transcriptome with Transcriptome, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her Genome research includes themes of DNA sequencing and Mitochondrial DNA.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The enigmatic SAR202 cluster up close: shedding light on a globally distributed dark ocean lineage involved in sulfur cycling (34 citations)
  • Ectosymbiotic bacteria at the origin of magnetoreception in a marine protist (28 citations)
  • The Syntrophy hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes revisited. (22 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Gene
  • Ecology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Evolutionary biology, Genome, Archaea, Phylogenetics and Gene. Her work deals with themes such as Endosymbiosis, Phylogenomics, Symbiosis and Euglenozoa, which intersect with Evolutionary biology. Her study looks at the intersection of Genome and topics like Phylogenetic tree with Mitochondrial DNA and DNA sequencing.

She has included themes like 18S ribosomal RNA and Halophile in her Archaea study. The various areas that she examines in her Phylogenetics study include Abundance, Bathyal zone, Water column and Metagenomics. Purificación López-García focuses mostly in the field of Hydrogen hypothesis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Microbial mat and, in certain cases, Ecology.
