Calceolariaceae809: A bait set for targeted sequencing of nuclear loci.

ABSTRACT:

Premise

The genus Calceolaria (Calceolariaceae) is emblematic of the Andes, is hypothesized to have originated as a recent, rapid radiation, and has important taxonomic needs. Additionally, the genus is a model for the study of specialized pollination systems, as its flowers are nectarless and many offer floral oils as a pollination reward collected by specialist bees. Despite their evolutionary and ecological significance, obtaining a resolved phylogeny for the group has proved difficult. To address this challenge, we present a new bait set for targeted sequencing of nuclear loci in Calceolariaceae and close relatives.

Methods

We developed a bioinformatic workflow to use incomplete, low-coverage genomes of 10 Calceolaria species to identify single-copy loci su
