Addressing conservation gaps in Brazilian Stachytarpheta (Verbenaceae): species richness and extinction risk assessment

Project summary:

Stachytarpheta is centered in Brazil, with a high level of endemism. However, there is a huge conservation gap for the genus. In this scenario, my project aims to provide a robust assessment of threats and conservation prospects for the group, so that endangered species are properly protected in Brazil.
