研究领域
Tanya is interested in understanding evolutionary relationships to address questions related to historical biogeography and character evolution, and to provide a basis for taxonomic revisions. She employs a variety of phylogenetic methods and uses both morphological and molecular data to reconstruct evolutionary relationships. An important aspect of Tanya’s research focuses on developing a better understanding of the basic biology and variation in plants by incorporating a systematic and comparative approach. Tanya is especially interested in investigating the potential link between ecophysiological performance and resource utilisation with plant structure. Tanya actively leads the establishment and development of laboratory techniques related to investigating plant structure (anatomy and morphology) at QUT. Tanya’s research activities include the use of different histological techniques, such as paraffin and resin embedding/sectioning, freehand sectioning, light microscopy and SEM, chromosome squash and staining. Tanya provides hands-on training to research students, assists with projects across different discipline areas that require an understanding of plant biology and provides advice on how best to examine plant structure.
