Historical specimens and the limits of subspecies phylogenomics in the New World quails (Odontophoridae)

J. F. Salter, P. A. Hosner, W. L. Tsai, J. E. McCormack, E. L. Braun, R. T. Kimball, R. T. Brumfield, B. C. Faircloth

This study evaluates the effectiveness of historical specimens in resolving subspecies-level phylogenetic relationships in New World quails using ultraconserved elements, finding that while species-level relationships are well-supported, subspecies-level discordance can be mitigated by analyzing subclades.

Phylogenomic Species Delimitation In Microendemic Frogs Of The Brazilian Atlantic Forest

M. R. Pie, M. R. Bornschein, L. F. Ribeiro, B. C. Faircloth, J. E. McCormack

This study evaluates species delimitation in microendemic frogs using phylogenomic data, finding that adding more loci has a stronger impact on model support than prioritizing informative loci.
