Toward understanding the twinsorus ferns from Neotropics: a taxonomic revision of Diplazium sect. Diplazium (Athyriaceae, Polypodiopsida)
Project summary:
I aim to produce a monograph for Diplazium sect. Diplazium, one of the most taxonomically challenging lineages of ferns in Neotropics. For that, I am using botanical collections as the primary source of data for morphological, cytological, and molecular analyses through target capture sequencing
