Biosystematics of Melocactus violaceus Pfeiffer (Cactaceae)
Project summary:
The integrative taxonomy of Melocactus violaceus, may indicate whether this taxon corresponds to a complex of several microendemic species, or whether it corresponds to a single species with great morphological variation and wide geographic distribution. Morphometric and genomic studies and ecological niche modeling will be carried out.
