Assessing Data Quality in Taxa Sampling: Implications for Evolutionary Biology

Main points

⦁ Data Quality in Taxa Sampling

⦁ improving-quality taxa sampling is essential for accurate evolutionary analyses.

⦁ Focus on native vs. endemic species to determine which is more relevant for phylogenetic studies.

⦁ Understanding Species Categories & evolutionary trends

⦁ Speciation & Evolutionary Biology Processes

⦁ Focus on Africa: Evolutionary History and Biogeography.

⦁ African Myrtaceae & Eugenia Case Study

⦁ Phylogenetic Research & Conservation

I. Visual explanation for

⦁ Eugenia Distribution & Endemism in Africa

⦁ Study highlights percentage of native vs. endemic Eugenia species in Africa.

⦁ Endemism varies across different geographic regions, shaping conservation strategies.
