How fuzzy the species boundaries? Unravelling the species complexities in Utricularia section Oligocista (Utricularia L.: Lentibulariaceae)
Project summary:
Complete taxonomic study on the complex section, Utricularia sect. Oligocista (Utricularia L., Lentibulariaceae) provide a better understanding of this group, resolving the complexes and clarifying the evolutionary relationships between individual taxa with a robust molecular analysis. The aim is to visit Laboratory of Plant Systematics at UNESP- São Paulo State University (Brazil) and to complete my sequencing and analysis under the supervision of Dr. Vitor F. O. Miranda who leads a group focusing evolution, genetics and genomics of Lentibulariaceae.
