معرفی
Jocelyn Hall is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Science, and serves as the Associate Dean (Undergraduate) in the Faculty of Science's Deans Office. Her research focuses on phylogenetic analysis, molecular systematics, and evolutionary biology, with a particular emphasis on plant families such as Capparaceae, Cleomaceae, and Brassicaceae. She investigates floral form evolution, fruit morphology in Brassicaceae, and the developmental mechanisms underlying plant diversity.
- Teaching: BOT 321 - Plant Diversity and Evolution (Winter Term 2026)
Her research combines field studies of tropical plants with lab-based analyses, including molecular techniques and comparative genomics. Key themes include understanding the genetic basis of floral traits, the role of genome duplication in plant evolution, and the phylogenetic relationships within Brassicales. Her work bridges traditional systematics with modern genomics to address questions about plant adaptation and diversification.
Publications highlight studies on floral scent mechanisms, nectar biology, and the evolutionary history of key plant lineages. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, her extensive publication record underscores her contributions to plant evolutionary biology.
Her academic leadership role as Associate Dean reflects her engagement with undergraduate education and institutional governance within the Faculty of Science.
