Toward a comprehensive and accelerated taxonomy of Machaerium (Leguminosae) in the Neotropics
Project summary:
This project investigates the diversity and evolutionary history of Machaerium, a taxonomically complex Neotropical legume genus, by integrating morphology, phylogenomics, and ecology. Focusing on Amazonian and Central American species, it aims to revise taxonomy, clarify species boundaries, describe new taxa, and produce a robust phylogenetic framework to support conservation, identification, and biogeographic studies.
