Molecular Phylogeny of Bidens L. (Coreopsideae, Asteraceae) focusing on the Pantropical Clade
Project summary:
The cosmopolitan genus Bidens L. is inferred as not monophyletic in phylogeny studies in the tribe Coreopsideae. This project aims to reconstruct a robust molecular phylogeny of Bidens, focusing on the Pantropical Clade, and investigate the morphological features and probable synapomorphies for the groupings found.
