John V. Freudenstein studies the evolution, classification, and family relationships of orchids, using DNA-based (phylogenomic) methods to work out how different orchid groups are related to one another. Much of this work focuses on mycoheterotrophic orchids (species like Corallorhiza that get nutrients from fungi rather than photosynthesis) and on resolving difficult taxonomic puzzles within the orchid family. He also has related interests in plant systematics more broadly, including other flowering plant groups and methods for naming newly discovered microbial lineages.
Publication output has been fairly steady at 2-6 papers per year over the last decade, with a brief gap in 2023 followed by a notable peak in 2024.
