Science at FMNH : Ep. 30 - Floral Diversity and Pedicularis

One of Dr. Ree’s main research topics is phylogenetics – a field that tries to understand how organisms are related to one another and the evolutionary history of life on Earth.  To tackle this question Dr. Ree works on the evolutionary history of the flowering plant Pedicularis in the Hengduan Mountains of China.
