OverviewAI-generated summary

Maribeth Latvis' research focuses on plant phylogenetics and evolutionary biology, utilizing molecular data to reconstruct evolutionary histories and understand diversification patterns. Her work has contributed to resolving deeper-level relationships within angiosperms, examining the evolution of specific plant groups like Rosids and Saxifragales, and investigating phenomena such as floral gigantism in Rafflesiaceae. Latvis has explored the application of next-generation sequencing techniques for marker development and phylogenetic analysis, addressing challenges in molecular species delimitation. She also investigates the genetic basis of floral traits in basal angiosperms. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9 and 1,795 citations across 17 publications. Latvis collaborates with Pedro Henrique Pezzi at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom she has co-authored five publications.
