معرفی
Dr. Jurriaan M. de Vos is a researcher at the University of Basel, Department of Environmental Sciences, where he leads the Plant reproductive diversity across lineages and environments group. His work integrates evolutionary ecology and macroevolution to understand how plants adapt and diversify over evolutionary timescales.
Education & Affiliations:
- University of Basel, Department of Environmental Sciences
- Swiss Plant Science Web member
Research Interests:
Dr. de Vos investigates the evolution of plant reproductive traits and adaptation to extreme environments, employing a whole-plant approach. His research spans from population-level studies (e.g., Primula halleri) to familial-level analyses (e.g., Montiaceae, Cactaceae), emphasizing alpine and arid biomes. He combines phylogenetic comparative methods with fieldwork to test hypotheses about ecological and evolutionary processes shaping plant diversity.
Recent Publications Trends:
His 2020–2021 publications highlight a focus on molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic transitions (e.g., homostyly in Primula), CAM photosynthesis evolution, and biogeographic patterns in plant lineages. Collaborative studies address biodiversity documentation (e.g., Americas flora gaps) and symbiotic interactions (e.g., Wolbachia in butterflies).
