Integrating morphology, phylogeography, and ecology to disentangle species delimitation and divergence in the Castilleja pilosa species complex (Orobanchaceae)
Project summary:
This project will use an integrative approach to address taxonomic challenges in Castilleja in western North America. By uniting data on floral morphology, molecular phylogeography, and ecological interactions, this work will improve understanding of these taxa while also advancing the field of taxonomy and systematics through a novel research approach.
