The role of the Andean uplift into the radiation of Brachyotum (Melastomataceae)
Project summary:
Brachyotum acts as a model for studying evolution in mountains. Occurring on top of the Andes, Brachyotum possesses innovative traits potentially correlated to its diversification. Since that area holds the youngest ecosystems in the Andes, Brachyotum might have radiated rapidly. By using ddRADseq, this project aims to understand such diversification.
