Citation | Dr. Knapp has made major contributions to our understanding of plant evolution and tropical biodiversity. Her studies on the potato and tomato family (Solanaceae) using rigorous phylogenetic analyses, have led to novel insights into the biogeography, dispersal and origins of important crop lants and their relatives, as well as insights into the processes of speciation and adaptive radiation of plant reproductive traits. She has taken a leadership role promoting novel initiatives for documenting tropical plant biodiversity, and has been a ceaseless public advocate for its conservation and appreciation. |
