Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Ecology
Genus
Botany

W. John Kress mainly focuses on Ecology, Phylogenetics, Phylogenetic tree, DNA barcoding and Biodiversity. His work on Phylogenetic diversity expands to the thematically related Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Phylogenetics brings together such families of science as Evolutionary biology, Heliconiaceae, Strelitziaceae, Costaceae and Community.

The Phylogenetic tree study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Beta diversity. His study in DNA barcoding is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Maturase K and Gene, DNA sequencing. His Nagoya Protocol study in the realm of Biodiversity interacts with subjects such as Resource.

His most cited work include:

A DNA barcode for land plants. (1609 citations)
Use of DNA barcodes to identify flowering plants (1340 citations)
Angiosperm phylogeny inferred from 18S rDNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences (1121 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Ecology, Botany, Phylogenetic tree, DNA barcoding and Phylogenetics. As a part of the same scientific study, W. John Kress usually deals with the Ecology, concentrating on Phylogenetic diversity and frequently concerns with Rainforest. W. John Kress has researched Botany in several fields, including Zingiberales and Monophyly.

His research in Monophyly tackles topics such as Subfamily which are related to areas like Internal transcribed spacer. His DNA barcoding research includes themes of Community, Computational biology and Gene, DNA sequencing. His Phylogenetics research also works with subjects such as

Taxon and related Genealogy,
Locus most often made with reference to Evolutionary biology.

He most often published in these fields:

Ecology (42.54%)
Botany (30.94%)
Phylogenetic tree (19.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

Ecology (42.54%)
DNA barcoding (19.89%)
Biodiversity (13.81%)

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

His primary areas of study are Ecology, DNA barcoding, Biodiversity, Phylogenetic tree and Phylogenetics. Ecology and Phylogenetic diversity are frequently intertwined in his study. His DNA barcoding research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Computational biology and Botany, Interspecific competition.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zingiberales and Locus. His research in Phylogenetic tree is mostly concerned with Monophyly. W. John Kress interconnects Taxon, Nutrient and Evolutionary biology in the investigation of issues within Phylogenetics.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

DNA metabarcoding illuminates dietary niche partitioning by African large herbivores (249 citations)
DNA barcodes for ecology, evolution, and conservation. (231 citations)
Earth BioGenome Project: Sequencing life for the future of life. (225 citations)
