Evolution of Amazonian and Atlantic Forests: Historical Biogeography and Evolution of Stifftia J.C. Mikan (Asteraceae)
Project summary:
The genus Stifftia has six species, of which two occurs in the Amazon (AM), and the remaining species occur in Atlantic Forest (AT). Stifftia is a good model for study the diversification and biogeography of the Biota of AM and AT. So, the objectives of the study are: (1) Propose a well supported phylogenetic hypothesis for Stifftia based on NGS data, (2) infer ancestral areas and its divergence times based on fossil calibration; (3) infer morphological evolution searching for synapomorphies of the tribe; (4) increase data sampling of Stifftieae by studding its specimens at MO and US herbaria.
