The speciation continuum in Salvia stachydifolia: divergence mediated by different pollinator guilds

Project summary:

In my doctoral project, I intend get a deeper understanding of the process of ecological speciation in Salvia stachydifolia, which along its distribution is pollinated by bees and hummingbirds. Specifically, I will study the ecology, genetic divergence, and reproductive isolation among populations
