Systematics of the Nassauvieae tribe (Mutisioideae, Asteraceae): impact of inflorescence morphology on diversification

Project summary:

The Nassauvieae (Mutisioideae, Asteraceae) includes over 300 species across 27 genera endemic to the Americas. This tribe is characterized by its diversity in habitat types and inflorescence morphology. We aim to study their phylogenetic affinities and the morphological evolution of their inflorescences using an Hyb-seq approach and micro-CT scanning
