Revaluation of the morphotypes of the Euterpe edulis Mart. complex (Arecaceae) in the Atlantic Rainforest through taxonomic, phylogenomic, and ecological studies.

Project summary:

Revaluation of the Euterpe edulis Mart. complex morphotypes in the Atlantic Forest integrates taxonomic, phylogenomic, and ecological studies. It focuses on mapping distributions, assessing morphological and genetic diversity, analyzing environmental heterogeneity, and examining population structure. Results will clarify morphotype distinctions and contribute to revising the taxonomy of E. edulis.
