Systematics and evolution of Bulbostylis Kunth (Cyperaceae) in the neotropical region
Project summary:
In the Neotropics, Bulbostylis shows a marked species-richness. Species delimitation and evolutionary history remain unclear due to limited availability of molecular data. Using an integrative approach, combining phylogenomics with biodiversity data, will enable generating a dated phylogeny, map species richness, estimate ancestral areas, diversification patterns, and its centre of diversity.
