Her main research concerns Botany, Lichen, Thallus, Ecology and Hypha. As part of her studies on Botany, Rosmarie Honegger frequently links adjacent subjects like Trebouxia. She interconnects Obligate and Taxon in the investigation of issues within Lichen.

Her study in the field of Crustose lichen also crosses realms of Haustorium. Her Ecology research integrates issues from Photosynthesis, Ontogeny, Functional morphology, Developmental biology and Morphology. Her Hypha study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Crustose, Cetraria, Lecanorales, Lichenology and Apoplast.

Her most cited work include:

  • Functional Aspects of the Lichen Symbiosis (249 citations)
  • Developmental biology of lichens. (164 citations)
  • Above- and below-ground community structure of ectomycorrhizal fungi in three Norway spruce (Picea abies) stands in Switzerland (100 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Lichen, Thallus, Hypha and Xanthoria parietina. Her studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Ecology, Lecanorales and Trebouxia. Her Lichen research incorporates elements of Obligate, Propagule and Devonian.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Primordium, Green algae and Gene expression. As a part of the same scientific family, Rosmarie Honegger mostly works in the field of Hypha, focusing on Cell wall and, on occasion, Coccomyxa.

  • Lichen (45.33%)
  • Thallus (32.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2018)?

  • Botany (78.67%)
  • Thallus (32.00%)
  • Lichen (45.33%)

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

Rosmarie Honegger spends much of her time researching Botany, Thallus, Lichen, Devonian and Hypha. The study incorporates disciplines such as Prototaxites, Pezizomycotina, Rhynie chert and Trebouxia in addition to Botany. The concepts of her Pezizomycotina study are interwoven with issues in Winfrenatia, Crustose lichen and Conidiomata.

Her Trebouxia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Xanthoria, Xanthoria parietina and Internal transcribed spacer. Her Thallus study frequently involves adjacent topics like Ecology. Rosmarie Honegger works in the field of Lichen, focusing on Spongiophyton in particular.

Between 2012 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • The earliest records of internally stratified cyanobacterial and algal lichens from the Lower Devonian of the Welsh Borderland (68 citations)
  • Bacterial epibionts and endolichenic actinobacteria and fungi in the Lower Devonian lichen Chlorolichenomycites salopensis. (28 citations)
  • Contributions to the diversity in cryptogamic covers in the mid-Palaeozoic: 'Nematothallus' revisited (26 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Fungus
  • Lichen

Rosmarie Honegger mostly deals with Devonian, Lichen, Botany, Thallus and Ecology. Her Spongiophyton study in the realm of Devonian connects with subjects such as Actinobacteria and Cosmochlaina. Her Actinobacteria research overlaps with other disciplines such as Lochkovian, Microbial population biology and Hypha.

Cosmochlaina is integrated with Prototaxites, Paleontology, Embryophyte, Paleozoic and Nematothallus in her research. Her studies deal with areas such as Winfrenatia, Pezizomycotina and Crustose lichen as well as Conidiomata.
