Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Law

Vicki A. Funk focuses on Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetic tree, Ecology, Phylogenetics and Biodiversity. Vicki A. Funk works mostly in the field of Evolutionary biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Cladistics and, in certain cases, Reticulate evolution and Sensu, as a part of the same area of interest. Her research integrates issues of Taxon, Orchidaceae and Sequence in her study of Phylogenetic tree.

Her work on Archipelago and Biogeography as part of general Ecology research is frequently linked to Floristics, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Phylogenetics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genealogy, Linguistics and DNA sequencing. Her work on Plant diversity as part of general Biodiversity study is frequently connected to Environmental resource management, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Her most cited work include:

  • Phylogenetic Patterns and the Evolutionary Process. (564 citations)
  • Hawaiian Biogeography: Evolution on a Hot Spot Archipelago (346 citations)
  • The value of sampling anomalous taxa in phylogenetic studies: Major clades of the Asteraceae revealed (227 citations)

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

Vicki A. Funk mainly investigates Botany, Evolutionary biology, Asteraceae, Ecology and Genus. Her Evolutionary biology research integrates issues from Phylogenetics, Cladistics, Phylogenetic tree, Taxon and Systematics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Linguistics and DNA sequencing.

Her Taxon study combines topics in areas such as Paraphyly and Monophyly. Her work is connected to Biodiversity, Biogeography and Ecology, as a part of Ecology. The Genus study combines topics in areas such as Sister group and Key.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (26.34%)
  • Evolutionary biology (18.28%)
  • Asteraceae (17.20%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Botany (26.34%)
  • Asteraceae (17.20%)
  • Evolutionary biology (18.28%)

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

Her main research concerns Botany, Asteraceae, Evolutionary biology, Taxonomy and Phylogenetics. Her study in the fields of Dna barcodes under the domain of Evolutionary biology overlaps with other disciplines such as Melanthera. Her Taxonomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Taxon and Archaeology.

Her studies deal with areas such as Genome, DNA sequencing, Biogeography and Phylogenetic tree as well as Phylogenetics. Biogeography is a subfield of Ecology that Vicki A. Funk explores. Her Systematics research focuses on Shield and how it relates to Biodiversity.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Amazon plant diversity revealed by a taxonomically verified species list (131 citations)
  • Taxonomy based on science is necessary for global conservation. (80 citations)
  • Collections-based science in the 21st Century (51 citations)

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

  • Genus
  • Ecology
  • Law

Her primary areas of study are Evolutionary biology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenomics, Biogeography and Ecology. The various areas that Vicki A. Funk examines in her Evolutionary biology study include Taxon and Clade, Monophyly. Her Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from Phylogenetic tree, Genome, Genus, DNA sequencing and Data set.

The concepts of her Phylogenetic tree study are interwoven with issues in Taxonomic rank, Asteraceae, Cichorieae and Locus. Her Biogeography research incorporates elements of Systematics, Flora and Cladistics. Her study in the field of Plant diversity also crosses realms of Floristics.
