Origin of biodiversity in Gondwanan Arthropods: from phylogeography to phylogenomic
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
gondwana (221099)
Area
Environment including Climate change
Description
The goal of the project is to understand the origin of biodiversity and endemism in diverse gondwanan Arthropods. The study groups, Opiliones, Myriapoda and Onychophora, are distributed in all southern temperate Gondawanan landmasses. They are therefore adequate model groups to achieve this goal. This project will involve different scales and approaches. In order to understand the global evolution of the group, large-scale molecular phylogenies will be conducted.
Participating Countries
France and United States.
