Solving taxonomic ambiguities in the Praxelis clematidea complex (Asteraceae, Eupatorieae): insights from morphology, genetics, and ecological niche modeling.
Project summary:
The study investigates a complex of species of Praxelis (Asteraceae) through morphometric analysis, genetic studies, and species distribution modeling. It addresses taxonomic challenges, focusing on morphological variability, genetic structure, and climatic niche differences. Collaboration with the University of Brasília provides access to specimens, fieldwork, and expertise for integrative taxonomy.
