Systematics, Historical Biogeography, and Character Evolution in Dialioideae (Leguminosae)
Project summary:
We aim to produce a new and comprehensive phylogenetic, biogeographic and character evolution study for Dialioideae, a pantropical clade with 17 genera and about 85 species, remarkable for its unique floral morphology among legumes, unveiling their origin, diversity, and evolution throughout the history of life on Earth.
