Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ann Willyard's research focuses on the molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics of conifers, particularly within the genus *Pinus*. Her work investigates evolutionary relationships and patterns of gene flow using molecular data, including DNA sequences and haplotypes. Recent publications have examined the phylogenetic placement of species within *Pinus* subsection *Ponderosae*, confirming paraphyly in *Pinus ponderosa* and clarifying the relationships of *Pinus jeffreyi*. She has also studied the mitochondrial phylogeography of ponderosa pines, identifying widespread gene capture and interspecific sharing, as well as distinct lineages. Willyard employs methods such as Hyb-Seq for multilocus phylogenetic analyses. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13 and 928 total citations across 19 publications. She collaborates with researchers at Hendrix College and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
