Pleistocene marine transgression-regression effects on coastal speciation in the southern African Stoebe clade (Asteraceae: Gnaphalieae)
Project summary:
This project assesses the effects of repeated Pleistocene interglacial immersion of South Africa’s Palaeo-Agulhas Plain on speciation process among Stoebe clade daisies. The work will quantify population-level genetic differentiation among eight species of Stoebe using genome-wide Genotyping-by-Sequencing SNP markers, and test Grobler et al.’s (2020) Pleistocene disturbance hypothesis.
