OverviewAI-generated summary
Shawn E. Krosnick's research focuses on plant systematics, with a particular emphasis on the genus *Passiflora*. His work involves analyzing genetic data, including plastid genomes and nucleotide sequences, to understand plant phylogeny and gene rearrangement. Krosnick has investigated the rediscovery of endangered plant species, such as *Passiflora kwangtungensis*, and explores the ecological factors influencing reproductive output in plant populations, exemplified by his study on *Physaria globosa*. He also contributes to the field of herbarium science, studying digitization rates and developing methods to engage students with botanical collections. His publications explore how data from herbarium specimens can inform future research, including the potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) to reveal plant-animal interactions. Krosnick is involved in initiatives to support collections-based research infrastructure and advocates for innovative approaches to botanical education.
