EUROEAST Biogeographic Relationships Among the Mountain Ranges of Europe, Middle East and Asia: Evolution, Phylogeny and Phylogeography of the Genus Wulfenia

Coordinator: NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM RIJEKA (HR)

Mountain ranges in the circum-Mediterranean area, with the Balkan Peninsula in particular, are hotspots of European biodiversity, with the most remarkable element being the high level of endemism in the Balkan Peninsula. With the intention of explanation of this phenomenon, we use a model plant genus Wulfenia to address the objectives within the proposed project: (a) ascertainment of molecular phylogenetic hypoteses on the relationships of the study genus both to its closest relatives as well as within the genus; (b) testing the Pleistocene speciation hypothesis: long distance dispersal or vi…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €38k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2008-03-14 to 2010-09-13.
