Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Education
  • Genus

William J. Baker mostly deals with Ecology, Arecaceae, Coryphoideae, Biodiversity and Calamoideae. His research brings together the fields of Biome and Arecaceae. In Coryphoideae, William J. Baker works on issues like Genus, which are connected to Taxonomy, Systematics and Nomenclature.

He interconnects Environmental planning and Ecosystem services in the investigation of issues within Biodiversity. His Calamoideae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hyphaene, Subfamily, Areceae and Macrofossil. His Areceae study combines topics in areas such as Ceroxyloideae, Phylogenetic nomenclature and Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Sympatric speciation in palms on an oceanic island (502 citations)
  • Genera Palmarum: The Evolution and Classification of Palms (289 citations)
  • Global diversification of a tropical plant growth form: environmental correlates and historical contingencies in climbing palms. (247 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Arecaceae, Ecology, Botany, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. His Arecaceae research includes themes of Taxonomy, Genus and Areceae. His Biological dispersal research extends to the thematically linked field of Ecology.

His study on Calamus, Rattan, Inflorescence and Taxon is often connected to New guinea as part of broader study in Botany. His Evolutionary biology research focuses on DNA sequencing and how it relates to Genome. His studies in Phylogenetic tree integrate themes in fields like Systematics and Phylogenetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Arecaceae (31.88%)
  • Ecology (25.60%)
  • Botany (24.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Evolutionary biology (14.49%)
  • Arecaceae (31.88%)
  • Phylogenetic tree (13.53%)

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

Evolutionary biology, Arecaceae, Phylogenetic tree, Botany and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His research in Evolutionary biology intersects with topics in Sympatric speciation, Sympatry, Systematics, Phylogenomics and DNA sequencing. His work on Calamoideae as part of general Arecaceae research is frequently linked to Embolism, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Calamoideae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Calamus and Rattan. William J. Baker has researched Botany in several fields, including Lodoicea maldivica, Heterospathe and Areceae. Ecology and Extinction are frequently intertwined in his study.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access (179 citations)
  • A Universal Probe Set for Targeted Sequencing of 353 Nuclear Genes from Any Flowering Plant Designed Using k-Medoids Clustering. (84 citations)
  • Factors Affecting Targeted Sequencing of 353 Nuclear Genes From Herbarium Specimens Spanning the Diversity of Angiosperms (29 citations)

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

  • Education
  • Ecology
  • Genus

William J. Baker focuses on Evolutionary biology, DNA sequencing, Arecaceae, Gene flow and Sympatric speciation. The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Taxon and Sanger sequencing. William J. Baker usually deals with DNA sequencing and limits it to topics linked to Nuclear gene and Genomics and Phylogenetics.

His Phylogenetics research incorporates themes from Representative sequences, Phylogenetic tree, Computational biology and Locus. William J. Baker combines subjects such as Ecology, Ecosystem, Macroevolution and Dypsis with his study of Arecaceae. The concepts of his Gene flow study are interwoven with issues in Genetic algorithm and Sympatry.
