How fuzzy are the species boundaries in plants? Investigating the role of hybridization and introgression in generating Spicatum Complex (genus: Hedychium, Zingiberaceae)
Project summary:
I am investigating how hybridization and introgression can lead to the formation of species complexes in the Asian paleotropics using Spicatum complex in the genus Hedychium (Zingiberaceae). I am using a reduced representation genome sequencing using dd-RAD along a phylogeographic range to achieve this.
