Identifying sets of phylogenetically informative markers for Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae).

ABSTRACT: Phylogenomic analyses have revolutionized our understanding of evolutionary relationships, yet it is complicated by incongruence across the genome. Here, we reanalyzed a genomic dataset comprising 3170 orthologs, and evaluated three methods to identify reduced sets of loci that can accurately resolve evolutionary relationships among Anastrepha fruit flies. Previous phylogenetic analyses consistently revealed well-supported topologies for deeper evolutionary relationships, while more recent divergences, particularly within the A. fraterculus complex, exhibited high levels of phylogenetic incongruence due to gene flow, incomplete lineage sorting, or other evolutionary forces. Here, we explored strategies for selecting reduced subsets: number of informative sites per gene, site concordance fa
