Taxonomy, evolution and biogeography of Bonnetia (Bonnetiaceae) in the Pantepui: a model group for studies of the Amazonian mountains
Project summary:
The focus of this research is to conduct a taxonomic, phylogenomic, and biogeographic study of Bonnetia, in order to investigate how this significant Pantepui lineage evolved. It also aims to understand the taxonomy of the genus, the species boundaries, and how they are geographically distributed in the Neotropical region.
