OverviewAI-generated summary
Jeremy M. Beaulieu's research investigates the evolutionary processes that shape biodiversity, with a particular focus on plant evolution. His work employs phylogenetic methods, genetic modeling, and fossil data to understand diversification shifts, the evolution of traits, and the origins of major plant groups. He has examined the radiation of angiosperms into freezing environments and the evolution of plant habit in angiosperms. Beaulieu also studies the relationship between genome size, cell size, and stomatal density in angiosperms.
His federally funded research, supported by a $312,262 NSF grant, focuses on understanding the form of conifer foliage through phylogenetics, experimentation, and modeling. This project, where he serves as PI, investigates the physics-driven aspects of plant morphology. Beaulieu's scholarship is recognized by a high h-index of 35 and over 6,400 citations across his 63 publications. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Eric R. Hagen, Simon P. Tye, Teofil Nakov, and Wade R. Roberts.
