Phylogeny and ecological drivers of diversification in South American Salvia L.
Project summary:
The "South American Clade" of Salvia subgen. Calosphace exhibits marked diversity in its pollination systems, morphology, and habitat. Phylogenetic relationships within the clade remain unresolved, prompting this project to utilize NGS techniques for clarification. Moreover, integrate data on pollinators and floral development to understand the factors driving this adaptive radiation.
