Systematics and Evolution of Grindelia (Asteraceae): Temporal and Spatial Connections Between Hemisphere
Project summary:
This project aims to conduct the first comprehensive taxonomic revision of South American Grindelia in 26 years, based on herbarium studies and fieldwork. Additionally, it will reconstruct a dated phylogeny for the entire genus using advanced molecular techniques, providing insights into its amphitropical distribution, diversification, and evolutionary history.
