Thanks to the development of high‐throughput sequencing technologies, target enrichment
sequencing of nuclear ultraconserved DNA elements (UCEs) now allows routine inference …

The ease of sequencing DNA barcodes promoted a species identification system universally
applicable across animal phyla. However, relying on a single mitochondrial DNA fragment …

Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) has emerged as a promising tool
for inferring evolutionary history in many taxa, with utility ranging from phylogenetic and …

Species are the fundamental units of life and evolution. Their recognition is essential for
science and society. Molecular methods have been increasingly used for the identification of …

Fungus-farming ants cultivate multiple lineages of fungi for food, but, because fungal cultivar
relationships are largely unresolved, the history of fungus-ant coevolution remains poorly …

Evolutionary adaptations for maintaining beneficial microbes are hallmarks of mutualistic
evolution. Fungus-farming “attine” ant species have complex cuticular modifications and …

Within the Formicidae, the higher classification of nearly all subfamilies has been recently
revised given the findings of molecular phylogenetics. Here, we integrate morphology and …

The fungus‐growing ants and their fungal cultivars constitute a classic example of a
mutualism that has led to complex coevolutionary dynamics spanning c. 55–65 Ma. Of the …

Spiders are important models for evolutionary studies of web building, sexual selection and
adaptive radiation. The recent development of probes for UCE (ultra‐conserved element) …

Target enrichment is increasingly used for genotyping of plant and animal species or to
better understand the evolutionary history of important lineages through the inference of …
