Diversification patterns of the tribe Sauvagesieae (Ochnaceae)
Project summary:
We aim to use a robust and widely-sampled phylogeny, and quantitative methods to assess the relationships between diversification dynamics and trait evolution in the tribe Sauvagesieae (Ochnaceae), attempting to contribute to an integrative understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms that have configured the flora in biodiversity hotspots of South America
