Investigating conserved floral scent as a driver of hybridization
Project summary:
This project will investigate niche conservatism as a driver of hybridization using the hybrid zone between Heuchera americana and H. richardsonii. I will integrate phylogenomics and morphometrics with floral volatile methods. To build a comparative framework, I will conduct an investigation of cryptic species in the polyphyletic H. americana complex.
