OverviewAI-generated summary

Ann Willyard's research focuses on phylogenomics and phylogeography, particularly within the Hard Pines (Pinus subsection Ponderosae). Her work investigates the evolutionary relationships and genetic diversity of these pine species. Recent publications explore the use of phylogenomic data to confirm paraphyly in Pinus ponderosa and to clarify the placement of Pinus jeffreyi within the California Big Cone Pines. Additional research has examined mitochondrial phylogeography in ponderosa pines, identifying widespread gene capture, interspecific sharing, and unique lineages. Willyard also employs multilocus phylogenetic methods, such as the Hyb-Seq method, to further elucidate these evolutionary histories. Her scholarship includes 20 publications with 941 citations and an h-index of 13. She collaborates with researchers from Hendrix College and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
