From taxonomy to ecosystem: the Vachellia caven complex and biodiversity loss in the Pampas
Project summary:
This project conducts an integrative taxonomic assessment of the Vachellia caven complex in the South American Pampas, combining targeted fieldwork, herbarium revision, morphometrics, phylogenomics, and ecological niche modeling. It is developed through international collaboration with specialists from Uruguay, Argentina, and France, integrating regional expertise and collections. By filling critical distribution gaps and stabilizing nomenclature, the project distinguishes evolutionary lineages from phenotypic plasticity and supports conservation in a severely and rapidly degraded bioregion.
