7-8 pm PT

"Using paintbrushes to study speciation*"*


Talk Description


The plant genus *Castilleja* (the iconic group of wildflowers more commonly
known as "the paintbrushes") is a very young and diverse group of plants
found primarily in western North America. Taxonomy in the genus has been
challenging, resulting in its notoriety as a 'difficult group'. Much of the
difficulty has been attributed to its young age, polyploidy, and the
apparent ease of hybridization when species co-occur. This talk will
broadly cover the biology of *Castilleja*, what we do (and don't) know
about its evolution, and how my research is aiming to fill in the gaps. I
will also highlight the challenge of defining species in lineages like
*Castilleja* and what that means for systematics and taxonomy in the group.



*Join us this Thursday!*
*November 11th, 2021*
