Revaluation of the morphotypes of the Euterpe edulis Mart. complex (Arecaceae) in the Atlantic Rainforest through taxonomic, phylogenomic, and ecological studies
Project summary:
This project investigates genetic and morphological diversity within the Atlantic Forest palm Euterpe edulis. By integrating phylogenomic analyses (RADseq) with detailed herbarium-based taxonomy, it aims to clarify species limits, resolve morphotypes, and provide a robust framework for evolutionary understanding and conservation of this ecologically important palm.
