Diversity of Gymnocalycium monvillei (Lem.) Britton & Rose (Cactaceae) along its altitudinal range
Project summary:
Gymnocalycium monvillei inhabits rocky outcrops from 880 to 2200 m a.s.l. The specie is an ideal model to study genetic diversity patterns in mountain, and the possible processes involved in the diversification and speciation of the specie. Taxonomy is a very important science and a tool that helps botany to sort species. In the case of G. monvillei, a species with different degrees of ploidy, would be very interesting to know how they are distributed, to understand if the species is suffering from speciation and from there it would be important to review gender systematic.
