Macroevolutionary patterns in Gaultheria L. (Ericaceae)
Project summary:
This project aims to reconstruct the evolution of selected morphological characters from the genus Gaultheria, as well as diversification dinamics within the clade and its relation to montane habitats. Hypothesis refering to functional diversity between inner clades will be tested and will be supported by molecular and morphological data.
