Target capture has emerged as an important tool for phylogenetics and population genetics in nonmodel taxa. Whereas developing taxon-specific probes requires sustained efforts, available universal kits may have a lower power to reconstruct relationships at shallow phylogenetic scales within rapidly radiating clades. We present here newly developed target set Bromeliaceae, large ecologically diverse plant family with highly variable diversification rates. The targets 1776 coding regions, including genes putatively involved key innovations, the aim empower testing of wide range evolutionary hypotheses. compare relative this set, Bromeliad1776, Angiosperms353 kit. results higher enrichment success across entire family; however, overall performance both trees is relatively comparable, highlighting vast potential resolving relationships.

The worldwide botanical and medicinal culture diversity are astonishing constitute a Pierian spring for innovative drug R&D. Here, the latest awareness perspectives of pharmacophylogeny pharmacophylogenomics, as well their expanding utility in R&D, systematically summarized highlighted. Chemotaxonomy is based on fact that closely related plants contain same or similar chemical profiles. Correspondingly, it better to combine morphological characters, DNA markers inference plant phylogeny. Medicinal within phylogenetic groups may have therapeutic effects, thus forming core pharmacophylogeny. Here we review comment versatile applications (1) looking domestic resources imported drugs, (2) resources, (3) quality control, identification expansion herbal medicines, (4) predicting constituents active ingredients medicine assisting determination constituents, (5) search new drugs sorting out, (6) summarizing improving experiences, etc. Such studies should be enhanced context deeper investigations molecular biology genomics traditional plants, phytometabolites metabolomics, ethnomedicine-based pharmacological activity, enabling sustainable conservation utilization resources.

The bee genus Brachymelecta Linsley, 1939 has until now been represented by a single specimen, which puzzled melittologists since its original description as Melecta? mucida Cresson, 1879. Through detailed morphological comparison and images, we show that the holotype is no more than an unusual specimen of widespread species, most recently known Xeromelecta californica (Cresson, 1878). We demonstrate diagnostic generic features for fall within range variation observed X. californica. Although names were published simultaneously, former was proposed whereas latter subgenus Melecta Latreille, 1802. Thus, following synonymies are proposed: syn. nov. under (since precedence must be given to name originally had higher taxonomic rank) M.? B.

The atypoid mygalomorphs include spiders from three described families that build a diverse array of entrance web constructs, including funnel-and-sheet webs, purse trapdoors, turrets and silken collars. Molecular phylogenetic analyses have generally supported the monophyly Atypoidea, but prior studies not sampled all relevant taxa. Here we generated dataset ultraconserved element loci for genera, taxa (Mecicobothrium Hexurella) key to understanding familial monophyly, divergence times, patterns evolution. We show conserved regions arachnid UCE probe set target exons, such it should be possible combine transcriptome datasets in arachnids. also different probes sometimes same protein, under matching parameters used here alignments non-orthologs. Using multiple curated phylogenomic matrices recover monophyletic reveal family Mecicobothriidae comprises four separate divergent lineages. Fossil-calibrated time suggest ancient Triassic (or older) origins several relictual lineages, with late Cretaceous/early Tertiary divergences within some genera indicating high potential cryptic species diversity. ancestral construct atypoids, mygalomorphs, is reconstructed as web.

A well-supported evolutionary tree representing most major lineages of scleractinian corals is in sight with the development and application phylogenomic approaches. Specifically, hybrid-capture techniques are shedding light on evolution systematics corals. Here, we reconstructed a broad phylogeny Scleractinia to test previous phylogenetic hypotheses inferred from few molecular markers, particular, relationships among families genera, identify clades that require further research. We analysed 449 nuclear loci 422 corals, comprising 266 species spanning 26 families, combining data across whole genomes, transcriptomes, hybrid capture low-coverage sequencing reconstruct largest scleractinians date. Due large number completeness (less than 38% missing data), node supports were high shallow deep nodes incongruences observed only nodes. The "Robust" "Complex" recovered unequivocally, our analyses confirmed Micrabaciidae Vaughan, 1905 sister clade, transforming understanding "Basal" clade. Several remain polyphyletic phylogeny, including Deltocyathiidae Kitahara, Cairns, Stolarski & Miller, 2012, Caryophylliidae Dana, 1846, Coscinaraeidae Benzoni, Arrigoni, Stefani Stolarski, hereby formally proposed family name Pachyseridae Benzoni Hoeksema accommodate Pachyseris Milne Edwards Haime, 1849, which phylogenetically distinct Agariciidae Gray, 1847. Results also revealed misidentifications inconsistencies within morphologically complex clades, such as Acropora Oken, 1815 Platygyra Ehrenberg, 1834, underscoring need for reference skeletal material topotypes, well importance detailed taxonomic work. approach findings here provide much promise stabilising topology life advancing coral evolution.
