Phylogenetic comparative methods improve the selection of characters for generic delimitations in a hyperdiverse Neotropical orchid clade
Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of phenotypic traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived states and their gains and losses are difficult to assess. Phylogenetic comparative methods help to evaluate the convergent evolution of a given morphological character, thus...Bogarín, Diego ; Pérez-Escobar, Oscar A. ; Karremans, Adam P. ; Fernández, Melania ; Kruizinga, Jaco …
