Taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses of Dennstaedtia and Microlepia (Dennstaedtiaceae) from South America
Project summary:
We aim to perform a taxonomic revision of Dennstaedtia and Microlepia from South America, along with a comprehensive phylogeny of Tribe Dennstaedtieae from the Neotropics and elsewhere. Morphology, phylogenetic results, and anatomy will be used to identify species boundaries. We will also map characters and biogeography on the dated tree
