Understanding the evolution of the asexual reproduction (bulbils) in Globba L. (Zingiberaceae) using phylogenetic comparative methods
Project summary:
I propose to specifically investigate the evolution of bulbils (asexual reproduction) and its role as a critical reproductive strategy that may mark the success of many species within the genus Globba. Grant money from IAPT will be used to cover costs associated with ddRAD seq to investigate inbreeding and outbreeding rates in Globba spp. with contrasting reproductive strategies.
