Macroevolutionary analyses
Despite important differences in
the enrichment efficiency of ORFs and UCEs, datasets of each marker type
produced highly similar phylogenies of Coelaturini, which allowed to
resolve previous ambiguities (Ortiz-Sepulveda et al., 2020), both along
deep and shallow phylogenetic branches. Examples include thatGrandidieria burtoni is recovered as the sister clade toPseudospatha tanganyicensis and Moncetia anceyi rather
than to all Coelaturini, and that Coelatura luapulaensis is
sister to the ‘Malawi’ clade, instead of being part of this clade as
previously recovered. Additional samples indicate that Coelaturafrom West Africa represents the sister-group to Coelatura from
the Nile and Lake Victoria. At shallow nodes topologies diverged
somewhat between the ORF and UCE trees, with an associated decrease in
support values. Our phylogenies also indicate that Grandidieria
burtoni , Pseudospatha tanganyicensis and Coelatura spp.
from Lake Tanganyika represent species complexes, as was already
presumed by Ortiz-Sepulveda et al. (2020).
