Towards an integrative taxonomic revision of neotropical Radula based on morphological and molecular evidence
Project summary:
This project aims at clarifying the poorly understood taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of Radula in tropical America. The grant will help covering the costs associated with a visit to the herbaria in England (BM, MANCH) in order to examine their historical collections of Radula, which are essential to this research.
