Abstract COI ) and nuclear (histone H3, 18S, 28S) genomes, and was analysed by multiple methods, including constrained analyses using a highly supported backbone tree from transcriptomic data. We recover most of the higher‐level structure of the spider tree with good support, including Mesothelae, Opisthothelae, Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae. Several of our analyses recover Hypochilidae and Filistatidae as sister groups, as suggested by previous transcriptomic analyses. The Synspermiata are robustly supported, and the families Trogloraptoridae and Caponiidae are found as sister to the Dysderoidea. Our results support the Lost Tracheae clade, including Pholcidae, Tetrablemmidae, Diguetidae, Plectreuridae and the family Pacullidae (restored status ) separate from Tetrablemmidae. The Scytodoidea include Ochyroceratidae along with Sicariidae, Scytodidae, Drymusidae and Periegopidae; our results are inconclusive about the separation of these last two families. We did not recover monophyletic Austrochiloidea and Leptonetidae, but our data suggest that both groups are more closely related to the Cylindrical Gland Spigot clade rather than to Synspermiata. Palpimanoidea is not recovered by our analyses, but also not strongly contradicted. We find support for Entelegynae and Oecobioidea (Oecobiidae plus Hersiliidae), and ambiguous placement of cribellate orb‐weavers, compatible with their non‐monophyly. Nicodamoidea (Nicodamidae plus Megadictynidae) and Araneoidea composition and relationships are consistent with recent analyses. We did not obtain resolution for the titanoecoids (Titanoecidae and Phyxelididae), but the Retrolateral Tibial Apophysis clade is well supported. Penestomidae, and probably Homalonychidae, are part of Zodarioidea, although the latter family was set apart by recent transcriptomic analyses. Our data support a large group that we call the marronoid clade (including the families Amaurobiidae, Desidae, Dictynidae, Hahniidae, Stiphidiidae, Agelenidae and Toxopidae). The circumscription of most marronoid families is redefined here. Amaurobiidae include the Amaurobiinae and provisionally Macrobuninae. We transfer Malenellinae (Malenella , from Anyphaenidae), Chummidae (Chumma ) (new syn. ) and Tasmarubriinae (Tasmarubrius ,Tasmabrochus andTeeatta , from Amphinectidae) to Macrobuninae. Cybaeidae are redefined to includeCalymmaria ,Cryphoeca ,Ethobuella andWillisius (transferred from Hahniidae), andBlabomma andYorima (transferred from Dictynidae). Cycloctenidae are redefined to includeOrepukia (transferred from Agelenidae) andPakeha andParavoca (transferred from Amaurobiidae). Desidae are redefined to include five subfamilies: Amphinectinae, withAmphinecta ,Mamoea ,Maniho ,Paramamoea andRangitata (transferred from Amphinectidae); Ischaleinae, withBakala andManjala (transferred from Amaurobiidae) andIschalea (transferred from Stiphidiidae); Metaltellinae, withAustmusia ,Buyina ,Calacadia ,Cunnawarra ,Jalkaraburra ,Keera ,Magua ,Metaltella ,Penaoola andQuemusia ; Porteriinae (new rank ), withBaiami ,Cambridgea ,Corasoides andNanocambridgea (transferred from Stiphidiidae); and Desinae, withDesis , and provisionallyPoaka (transferred from Amaurobiidae) andBarahna (transferred from Stiphidiidae).Argyroneta is transferred from Cybaeidae to Dictynidae.Cicurina is transferred from Dictynidae to Hahniidae. The generaNeoramia (from Agelenidae) andAorangia ,Marplesia andNeolana (from Amphinectidae) are transferred to Stiphidiidae. The family Toxopidae (restored status ) includes two subfamilies: Myroinae, withGasparia ,Gohia ,Hulua ,Neomyro ,Myro ,Ommatauxesis andOtagoa (transferred from Desidae); and Toxopinae, withMidgee andJamara , formerly Midgeeinae,new syn. (transferred from Amaurobiidae) andHapona ,Laestrygones ,Lamina ,Toxops andToxopsoides (transferred from Desidae). We obtain a monophyletic Oval Calamistrum clade and Dionycha; Sparassidae, however, are not dionychans, but probably the sister group of those two clades. The composition of the Oval Calamistrum clade is confirmed (including Zoropsidae, Udubidae, Ctenidae, Oxyopidae, Senoculidae, Pisauridae, Trechaleidae, Lycosidae, Psechridae and Thomisidae), affirming previous findings on the uncertain relationships of the “ctenids”Ancylometes andCupiennius , although a core group of Ctenidae are well supported. Our data were ambiguous as to the monophyly of Oxyopidae. In Dionycha, we found a first split of core Prodidomidae, excluding the Australian Molycriinae, which fall distantly from core prodidomids, among gnaphosoids. The rest of the dionychans form two main groups, Dionycha part A and part B. The former includes much of the Oblique Median Tapetum clade (Trochanteriidae, Gnaphosidae, Gallieniellidae, Phrurolithidae, Trachelidae, Gnaphosidae, Ammoxenidae, Lamponidae and the Molycriinae), and also Anyphaenidae and Clubionidae.Orthobula is transferred from Phrurolithidae to Trachelidae. Our data did not allow for complete resolution for the gnaphosoid families. Dionycha part B includes the families Salticidae, Eutichuridae, Miturgidae, Philodromidae, Viridasiidae, Selenopidae, Corinnidae and Xenoctenidae(new fam. , includingXenoctenus ,Paravulsor andOdo , transferred from Miturgidae, as well asIncasoctenus from Ctenidae). We confirm the inclusion ofZora (formerly Zoridae) within Miturgidae. -
Premise The ability to sequence genome‐scale data from herbarium specimens would allow for the economical development of data sets with broad taxonomic and geographic sampling that would otherwise not be possible. Here, we evaluate the utility of a basic double‐digest restriction site–associated
DNA sequencing (ddRAD seq) protocol usingDNA s from four genera extracted from both silica‐dried and herbarium tissue.Methods DNA s fromDraba ,Boechera ,Solidago , andIlex were processed with a ddRAD seq protocol. The effects ofDNA degradation, taxon, and specimen age were assessed.Results Although taxon, preservation method, and specimen age affected data recovery, large phylogenetically informative data sets were obtained from the majority of samples.
Discussion These results suggest that herbarium samples can be incorporated into dd
RAD seq project designs, and that specimen age can be used as a rapid on‐site guide for sample choice. The detailed protocol we provide will allow users to pursue herbarium‐based ddRAD seq projects that minimize the expenses associated with fieldwork and sample evaluation. -
Abstract Molecular ecologists seek to genotype hundreds to thousands of loci from hundreds to thousands of individuals at minimal cost per sample. Current methods, such as restriction‐site‐associated
DNA sequencing (RAD seq) and sequence capture, are constrained by costs associated with inefficient use of sequencing data and sample preparation. Here, we introduceRAD cap, an approach that combines the major benefits ofRAD seq (low cost with specific start positions) with those of sequence capture (repeatable sequencing of specific loci) to significantly increase efficiency and reduce costs relative to current approaches.RAD cap uses a new version of dual‐digestRAD seq (3RAD ) to identify candidateSNP loci for capture bait design and subsequently uses custom sequence capture baits to consistently enrich candidateSNP loci across many individuals. We combined this approach with a new library preparation method for identifying and removingPCR duplicates from 3RAD libraries, which allows researchers to processRAD seq data using traditional pipelines, and we tested theRAD cap method by genotyping sets of 96–384Wisteria plants. Our results demonstrate that ourRAD cap method: (i) methodologically reduces (to <5%) and allows computational removal ofPCR duplicate reads from data, (ii) achieves 80–90% reads on target in 11 of 12 enrichments, (iii) returns consistent coverage (≥4×) across >90% of individuals at up to 99.8% of the targeted loci, (iv) produces consistently high occupancy matrices of genotypes across hundreds of individuals and (v) costs significantly less than current approaches. -
Abstract The Cyclophyllidea is the most diverse order of tapeworms, encompassing species that infect all classes of terrestrial tetrapods including humans and domesticated animals. Available phylogenetic reconstructions based either on morphology or molecular data lack the resolution to allow scientists to either propose a solid taxonomy or infer evolutionary associations. Molecular markers available for the Cyclophyllidea mostly include ribosomal
DNA and mitochondrial loci. In this study, we identified 3641 single‐copy nuclear coding loci by comparing the genomes ofHymenolepis microstoma ,Echinococcus granulosus andTaenia solium . We designedRNA baits based on the sequence ofH. microstoma , and applied target enrichment and Illumina sequencing to test the utility of those baits to recover loci useful for phylogenetic analyses. We capturedDNA from five species of tapeworms representing two families of cyclophyllideans. We obtained an average of 3284 (90%) of the targets from the test samples and then used captured sequences (2 181 361 bp in total; fragment size ranging from 301 to 6969 bp) to reconstruct a phylogeny for the five test species plus the three species for which genomic data are available. The results were consistent with the current consensus regarding cyclophyllidean relationships. To assess the potential for our method to yield informative genetic variation at intraspecific scales, we extracted 14 074 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP s) from alignments of fourArostrilepis macrocirrosa and twoA. cooki and successfully inferred their relationships. The results showed that our target gene tools yield data sets that provide robust inferences at a range of taxonomic scales in the Cyclophyllidea. -
Abstract A whole‐genome duplication (
WGD ) doubles the entire genomic content of a species and is thought to have catalysed adaptive radiation in some polyploid‐origin lineages. However, little is known about general consequences of aWGD because gene duplicates (i.e., paralogs) are commonly filtered in genomic studies; such filtering may remove substantial portions of the genome in data sets from polyploid‐origin species. We demonstrate a new method that enables genome‐wide scans for signatures of selection at both nonduplicated and duplicated loci by taking locus‐specific copy number into account. We apply this method toRAD sequence data from different ecotypes of a polyploid‐origin salmonid (Oncorhynchus nerka ) and reveal signatures of divergent selection that would have been missed if duplicated loci were filtered. We also find conserved signatures of elevated divergence at pairs of homeologous chromosomes with residual tetrasomic inheritance, suggesting that joint evolution of some nondiverged gene duplicates may affect the adaptive potential of these genes. These findings illustrate that including duplicated loci in genomic analyses enables novel insights into the evolutionary consequences ofWGD s and local segmental gene duplications.
