A comprehensive study of the systematics, evolution, and biogeography of Croton sect. Lamprocroton: A primarily southern Neotropical lineage.
Project summary:
This proposal aims to revise the taxonomy of Croton sect. Lamprocroton, provide a new phylogenetic framework, study the evolution of morphological traits, and conduct biogeographic analyses. These findings will resolve taxonomic ambiguities, clarify species relationships, and contribute to the conservation and understanding of this Neotropical lineage.
