Evaluating hybridization in the genus Kohleria (Gesneriaceae)
Project summary:
My previous research in Kohleria (Gesneriaceae) has allowed me to detect some evidence of natural hybridization using morphometry, and now I aim to combine these results with RADseq to test these findings and, thus, help to understand the consequence of hybridization over the evolution, ecology, and taxonomy of the genus.
