Investigating the phylogeny and taxonomy of subtribe Phaseolinae (Leguminosae): A focus on Neotropical genera
Project summary:
This project will investigate the phylogeny and taxonomy of the subtribe Phaseolinae, focusing on the Neotropical genera Ancistrotropis, Delgadoana, and Sigmoidotropis. It will use morphological and phylogenetic data to clarify evolutionary relationships, biogeographical patterns, and taxonomic boundaries, contributing to the understanding of the diversification of this group in the Neotropics.
