Macroevolutionary patterns in Pisonieae Meisn. (Nyctaginaceae): A Holistic Approach to a Cryptic Group of Tropical Trees.
Project summary:
Pisonieae is the most diverse tribe of the Nyctaginaceae. However, even today the is shrouded in a series of taxonomic confusions. In this proposal, we aim to provide a better understanding of the tribe by building a robust phylogenetic framework of the high throughput to investigate macroevolutionary patterns for Pisonieae.
