Phylogeny, diversification and historical biogeography of Tillandsia subg. Diaphoranthema (Bromeliaceae, Poales)
Project summary:
Tillandsia subg. Diaphoranthema (ca. 30 epiphytic/epilithic species) will be used as model system to study diversification patterns of plant lineages adapted to arid and semiarid Neotropical habitats. We will perform character evolution, biogeographic, dating and diversification analyses using a phylogenetic framework generated with a novel genome partitioning strategy.
