Systematics and Biogeography of Croton sect. Lasiogyne (Klotzsch) Baill. (Euphorbiaceae), a primary group from Neotropical Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests
Project summary:
We aim to perform a phylogenetic and biogeographic reconstruction of Croton sect. Lasiogyne to understand its relationships, infer evolutionary processes involved with this group, and raise new insights about the diversification of SDTFs flora. Consequently, we aim to propose a more robust circumscription for this currently not well-delimited group.
