The story of one of the youngest fern genus
We have recently received funding to reconstruct the phylogeny and biogeographic history of Parablechnum, a young and diverse genus with a complex evolutionary history.
We are combining a Hyb-Seq approach with studies focused on the gametophytic phase and field work in both distribution centers of these ferns.
Taxonomy and systematics of an intriguing moss family
The Funariaceae are a unique study system within bryophytes. Its remarkable diversity is the result of a rapid radiation that produced a very versatile range of sporophyte architectures.
During the past years we have contributed to a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships of these mosses and we are still working on improving our knowledge on these unique organisms.
Exploring Pleistocene botanical refugia of the Upper Midwest
The Driftless The Driftless Area is a region of the upper Mississippi basin without geological evidence of glaciation during the Pleistocene.
This project will assess the relictual status of some boreal mosses present in the Driftless Area using GBS (Genotyping by Sequencing).
