Low-Coverage Genome Sequencing Outperforms Target Enrichment Phylogenomics

Michael G. Branstetter, Felipe V. Freitas, Ligia R. Benavides…·Elizabeth A. Murray

This study compares low-coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS) and target enrichment methods for phylogenomics, finding lcWGS outperforms target enrichment in locus recovery and phylogenetic performance, especially with degraded DNA.

Sociality and nesting strategy shape the bimodal diversity gradient in bees

Lena Heinrich, Aline C. Martins, Silas Bossert…·Thaís Vasconcelos

This study investigates how sociality and nesting strategy influence the bimodal latitudinal diversity gradient in bees, finding that social and above-ground nesting traits are linked to narrow climatic niches and prevalence in tropical regions.
