Research summary
AI-generated

Eric B. Knox studies the classification, evolution, and diversity of flowering plants, with a strong focus on the Lobelia family (Campanulaceae/Lobelioideae) and related groups. His work combines the naming and description of new plant species with genetic and genomic analyses of how plant groups evolved, including studies of chloroplast DNA, gene duplication, and sex chromosomes. Several projects examine how plant lineages spread geographically and diversified, such as the origins of giant lobelias.
