Communicating research on Australasian Bulbophyllum Orchids (Old ID 23666)

Supervisor

Bulbophyllum (Orchidaceae) is the second largest genus of flowering plants with ~ 2,200 species.This project uses DNA sequence data to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships within the diverse Asian and Australasian taxa. The project is significant for establishing a framework phylogeny for this diverse genus and fine scale population sampling to identify phylogeographic patterns within species endemic to Wet tropics mountain tops. Outcomes include a genetic database and peer reviewed manuscripts. I propose to participate in the upcoming Australasian Systematic Botany Society conference in Adelaide 26th-29th of November 2017 to disseminate our research on Australasian Bulbophyllum Orchids to the broader systematics community.
