Evolutionary origin of biodiversity hotspots with a Mediterranean climate (HOTMED)

Objective

Understanding the origin of species richness in Earth¿s biodiversity hotspots is vital to develop effective conservation strategies. Information from past biodiversity (i.e. fossil evidence) sheds light on how it has responded to climate change in the past and is essential to predict how modern biodiversity might evolve in the future. HOTMED will create a multidisciplinary network of partners with complementary backgrounds to study and compare the origins of biodiversity in Southwest Australia, the Cape Flo ristic Region, and Central Chile. This will be achieved by appropriate integration of fossil evidence into molecular dating analyses and tests of biogeographic hypotheses using a particularly well-suited plant group (Proteaceae) as a model. HOTMED will als o involve analyses and comparisons of biodiversification rates and phylogenetic and environmental diversity indices in the three Mediterranean hotspots under focus.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
