Phylogenomics of Neurolaeneae (Asteraceae): a poorly known and long neglected tribe
Project summary:
This proposal will facilitate the first phylogenomic study of the tribe Neurolaeneae, which has never been the focus of a phylogenetic study, therefore relationships among genera and species are unresolved. This study will test the tribe's monophyly, elucidate relationships within Calea, and reveal evolutionary patterns of diversification in the Neotropics.
