Targeted Amplicon Sequencing (TAS): A Scalable Next-Gen Approach to Multilocus, Multitaxa Phylogenetics

TL;DR: A targeted amplicon sequencing (TAS) approach capitalizing on next-gen capacity to sequence large numbers of targeted gene regions from a large number of samples, which significantly reduces sequencing expenses incurred from traditional Sanger sequencing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overcoming the loss of blue sensitivity through opsin duplication in the largest animal group, beetles.

TL;DR: It is proposed that UV and LW opsin gene duplications have restored the potential for trichromacy (three separate channels for colour vision) in beetles up to 12 times and more specifically, duplications within the UV opsin class have likely led to the restoration of “blue” sensitivity up to 10 times.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive selection of a duplicated UV-sensitive visual pigment coincides with wing pigment evolution in Heliconius butterflies

TL;DR: Functional diversification of the UV-sensitive visual pigments may help explain why the yellow wing pigments of Heliconius are so colorful in the UV range compared to the yellow pigment of close relatives lacking the UV opsin duplicate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecules, morphology and fossils: a comprehensive approach to odonate phylogeny and the evolution of the odonate wing

TL;DR: Fossil taxa did not seem to provide signals crucial to recovering a robust phylogeny, but were critical to understanding the evolution of key morphological features associated with flight.
