Climatic Niche Estimation, Trait Evolution and Species Richness in North American Carex (Cyperaceae)
With close to 2100 species, the flowering plant genus Carex (Cyperaceae; sedges) is an example of an evolutionary radiation. Despite its potential for use as a model taxon in evolutionary studies, the diversification of sedges remains largely unexplored. This thesis realizes the potential of Carex a...
