Anne M. Schot

Anne M. Schot (born 1966) is a Dutch botanist.

Early life Anne M Schot was born on 20 September 1966 in Leidschendam, a town in South Holland province, Netherlands (Leidschendam has effectively become a suburb of Den Haag). She completed her diploma at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1984. In 1985 she started studies in Biology at Universiteit Leiden. She graduated in August 1991 with subjects in Evolutionary Biology and in Plant Geoegraphy, with the following works: 1. Een kwantitatieve analyse van de schutkleur bij Melanitis leda (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Satyridae) (A quantitative analysis of the camouflage color in Melanitis leda [Fabricius] [Lepidoptera: Satyridae]), under the supervision of Paul Brakefield, and J. Windy of the Institute of Evolutionary and Ecological Sciences; 2. Phylogenetic relations and historical biogeography of Fordia and Imbralyx (Papilionaceae: Millettieae), under the supervision of Robert Geesink and J.W.A. Knight-Numan of the Rijksherbarium/Hortus Botanicus research institute at Leiden. During her undergraduate studies, she worked as a Student Assistant in the first year biology subject "Overview of the animal kingdom" and on the domestic excursion.

Career She was employed as a Training Assistant of the Rijksherbarium/Hortus Botanicus research institute in Leiden (now the Universiteit Leiden branch of the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland) from 1 June 1992 to 31 May 1996, working on research of the genus Aporosa. Petra Hoffman, in her 2006 review, writes that "[Schot] did not dodge difficulties as is unfortunately so often seen in other [taxonomic] keys. She has delivered an excellent piece of work with regards species identification." At the end of her review Hoffman writes: "In summary, this taxonomic revision is a tremendous achievement. Aporosa is by far the largest euphorbiaceous genus treated in such detail since Pax & Hoffmann's "Pflanzenreich" at the beginning of the 20th century." She is one of the researchers on the Flora Malesiana
