A Guide to Carrying Out a Phylogenomic Target Sequence Capture Project
Andermann, Tobias; Torres-Jiminez, Maria Fernanda; Matos-Maraví, Pável F.; Batista, Romina B.; Blanco-Pastor, José Luis; Gustafsson, A. Lovisa S.High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time- and cost-effective sequencing of large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many phylogenetic studies focus sequencing effort on large sets of pre-selected loci, which further reduces costs and bioinformatic challenges while increasing coverage. One common approach that enriches loci before sequencing is often referred...
Phylogenomics and biogeography of the world's thrushes (Aves, Turdus): New evid...
Batista, Romina B.; Olsson, Urban; Andermann, Tobias; Aleixo, Alexandre; Ribas, Camila Cherem; Antonelli, AlexandreTo elucidate the relationships and spatial range evolution across the world of the bird genus Turdus (Aves), we produced a large genomic dataset comprising ca 2 million nucleotides for ca 100 samples representing 53 species, including over 2000 loci. We estimated time-calibrated maximum-likelihood and multispecies coalescent phylogenies and carried out biogeographic analyses. Our results indicate that there hav...
A dynamic continental moisture gradient drove Amazonian bird diversification
Silva, Sofia Marques; Townsend Peterson, A.; Carneiro, Lincoln Silva; Burlamaqui, Tibério César Tortola; Ribas, Camila Cherem; Sousa-Neves, TiagoThe Amazon is the primary source of Neotropical diversity and a nexus for discussions on processes that drive biotic diversification. Biogeographers have focused on the roles of rivers and Pleistocene climate change in explaining high rates of speciation. We combine phylogeographic and niche-based paleodistributional projections for 23 upland terra firme forest bird lineages from across the Amazon to derive a n...
