The fifth International Rubiaceae and Gentianales Conference

Biodiversity in the light of historical information

Beskrivning

Phylogenetic analyses and the use of historical data have greatly enhanced our ability to understand biodiversity in space and time. This international conference will focus on recent progress in the use of biodiversity data for improved estimation of phylogeny and its various applications. This will hold promise for the future use of Rubiaceae and the Gentianales as model systems for understanding flowering plant evolution.

Conference themes (preliminary):
• Biodiversity, taxonomy and species richness
• Progress in phylogeny
• Turning phylogenies into classifications
• Dating lineages
• Biogeography and paleoclimates
• Character evolution
