From morphology to molecular through ecological niche analysis: An integrative approach for the cryptic species delimitation in the genus Stellera L.

Project summary:

The proposed research aims to delimit the cryptic species in the genus Stellera L. The single species S. chamaejasme within the genus is hypothesized to have four distinctive colour morphs. Therefore, we intellect to integrate multidisciplinary evidence (morphology, molecular and niche modelling) for the discrimination of the cryptic species.
