Abstract

This project is focused on trait-based diversification in bromeliads. The primary assignments are: 1. Merge RAD and genome skim data together into a large genomic sampling of the bromeliad tribe Vrieseinae and develop a dated molecular phylogeny; 2. Use trait data to develop hidden-state diversification models (e.g. HiSSE) to test for correlations between speciation rate and pollination syndrome.
