Biosystematics and integrative taxonomy of the Dianthus balbisii complex (Caryophyllaceae)
Project summary:
I propose a research project founded on an integrated approach, including nomenclatural and herbarium researches, morphometric, cytogenetic, and genetic investigations, aimed at testing the support of taxa belonging to the Dianthus balbisii (Caryophyllaceae) complex, a taxonomically critical group of the Mediterranean flora.
