However, fern diversity in Colombia remains poorly known: nearly half of the species in the country have been collected only a handful of times, and most species have never been studied in an evolutionary context. The true richness of Colombia’s fern flora is surely much higher than is known today — likely there are hundreds of species that remain either unreported for the country or are still awaiting scientific description. The aim of this project is to improve our understanding of Colombian fern diversity through collaborative research involving Colombian and international pteridologists. Our research focuses on four objectives: Addressing major gaps in our knowledge of Colombia fern diversity Generating unified taxonomic resources for the ferns of Colombia Producing genomic resources for the ferns of Colombia Integrating 1-3 to accelerate lineage discovery and taxonomic research on Colombian ferns Read more about our project below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612f2a56f4f42e5b84dc4718/28243f1c-cd68-4c2d-b02c-0310de63b166/nybg.jpg Project -
