Hierarchical Hybrid Enrichment: Multitiered Genomic Data Collection Across Evolutionary Scales, With Application to Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris).

ABSTRACT: Determining the optimal targets of genomic subsampling for phylogenomics, phylogeography, and population genomics remains a challenge for evolutionary biologists. Of the available methods for subsampling the genome, hybrid enrichment (sequence capture) has become one of the primary means of data collection for systematics, due to the flexibility and cost efficiency of this approach. Despite the utility of this method, information is lacking as to what genomic targets are most appropriate for addressing questions at different evolutionary scales. In this study, first, we compare the benefits of target loci developed for deep- and shallow scales by comparing these loci at each of three taxonomic levels: within a genus (phylogenetics), within a species (phylogeography), and within a hybrid zo
