Friday, March 15, 2024, 7:00 pm: "Phylogenetics & Population Genomics in the Milkwort genus Hebecarpa (Polygalaceae)” – presentation by Christopher, a PhD candidate at The University of Texas at El Paso’s Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Program

The Gila Native Plant Society is sponsoring this program for lovers of botany. Christopher Muñoz will discuss his research into the evolution of the Milkwort genus (Hebecarpa), a group of mostly mountain-dwelling plants. The habitat affinities and character traits of plants in this genus can allow us to better understand patterns of evolution as well as millions of years of paleoclimate history in North America. 

The program will be presented live at Harlan Hall on the WNMU Campus in Room 111, as well as via Zoom for those who prefer to attend online. As always, the public is welcome. Anyone interested in joining in the Zoom presentation may request a link from gilanative@gmail.com .
