Unraveling the species diversity in the neotropical tree genus Aspidosperma (Apocynaceae) using morphometric and genomic data

Project summary:

Studies on species delimitation under integrative approaches have become common in recent years, contributing to more objective definitions of species. The neotropical genus Aspidosperma Mart. & Zucc. (Apocynaceae) is a model group for this type of investigation, because despite the recent advances in its systematics, species delimitation is often challenging.
