Collaborative Research: Evolutionary and functional genomics of Hawaiian Bidens: determini — NSF Award to University of Wisconsin-
Understanding what drives the evolution of new species is a central question in biology. Groups of species that have recently evolved provide a good system for trying to understand the genetic changes that led to establishment of new species. This research combines the fields of genomics, developmental biology, ecology

| Abstract | Understanding what drives the evolution of new species is a central question in biology. Groups of species that have recently evolved provide a good system for trying to understand the genetic changes that led to establishment of new species. This research combines the fields of genomics, developmental biology, ecology, and physiology to examine a new lineage of flowering plants in Hawaiʻi in the genus Bidens (family Asteraceae). The project will generate new genome assemblies and experimentally |
