Monograph of Ceratozamia genus (Zamiaceae, Cycadales): an integrative approach
Project summary:
Given that a strong taxonomic framework for Ceratozamia is lacking, the primary goal of this project is to make a monograph. Considering the taxonomic history of Ceratozamia, I will search relatively unexplored localities in Mesoamerica and older species few known because their latest botanical records date back 50 years. The circumscription will consider multiple datasets in order to uncover new morphological, anatomical, phenological, and molecular (i.e. DNA) characters under modern systematic biology frameworks such as ‘integrative taxonomy’.
