Speciation and Niche Shifts in the Amphibious Plant Group Neptunia (Fabaceae)
Abstract
In a group of aquatic and terrestrial species, I aimed to determine if species in different habitats occupy different and broader climatic parameters (e.g., aquatic plants living in drier environments) and found aquatics occupy divergent, broader niches.
