OverviewAI-generated summary

Karen E. Poole's research focuses on the evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships of dinosaurs, particularly iguanodontians. Her work involves the detailed analysis of fossilized remains, including bones, to reconstruct the evolutionary pathways of these animals. Poole has investigated the evolution of quadrupedality in iguanodontian dinosaurs and has described new species from South Africa, contributing to the understanding of dinosaur diversity in the Early Cretaceous period. She has also explored methodologies for incorporating juvenile specimens into phylogenetic assessments, acknowledging the influence of ontogeny on evolutionary studies. Poole has published nine scholarly articles, accumulating 100 citations and an h-index of 4, indicating recent and ongoing contributions to her field.
