INSECT PHYLOGENOMICS. Response to Comment on "Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution".

چکیده
Tong et al. comment on the accuracy of the dating analysis presented in our work on the phylogeny of insects and provide a reanalysis of our data. They replace log-normal priors with uniform priors and add a "roachoid" fossil as a calibration point. Although the reanalysis provides an interesting alternative viewpoint, we maintain that our choices were appropriate.

INSECT PHYLOGENOMICS. Comment on "Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution".
Misof et al. (Reports, 7 November 2014, p. 763) used a genome-scale data set to estimate the relationships among insect orders and the time scale of their evolution. Here, we reanalyze their data and show that their method has led to systematic underestimation of the evolutionary time scale. We find that key insect groups evolved up to 100 million years earlier than inferred in their study.
متن کاملComment on “Phylogenomics resolves the timing and pattern of insect evolution”
I nsects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth, occupying a broad range of niches across ecosystems. However, many insect groups have a poor fossil record, meaning that the early evolution of hexapod orders remains shrouded in mystery (1). For this reason, studies of insect diversification, the timing of evolutionary innovations, and the arthropod phylogeny rely on molecular date estim...
متن کاملInsect Phylogenomics: Exploring the Source of Incongruence Using New Transcriptomic Data
The evolution of the diverse insect lineages is one of the most fascinating issues in evolutionary biology. Despite extensive research in this area, the resolution of insect phylogeny especially of interordinal relationships has turned out to be still a great challenge. One of the challenges for insect systematics is the radiation of the polyneopteran lineages with several contradictory and/or ...
متن کاملModeling Insect-Repellent Use for Chikungunya Disease Prevention Among US-Caribbean Travelers
Introduction: This study examined the relationship between specific psychosocial variables and the use of insect repellents on skin or clothing as a preventive behavior for Chikungunya fever among US travelers to Caribbean destinations. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective online survey method was adopted. US residents who travelled to one of 34 Carib...
متن کاملRunning Head: HIGHLY MULTIPLEXED AMPLICON-BASED PHYLOGENOMICS 1 Title: HiMAP: robust Phylogenomics from Highly Multiplexed Amplicon sequencing
15 High-throughput sequencing has fundamentally changed how molecular phylogenetic datasets 16 are assembled, and phylogenomic datasets commonly contain 50-100-fold more loci than those 17 generated using traditional Sanger-based approaches. Here, we demonstrate a new approach for 18 building phylogenomic datasets using single tube, highly multiplexed amplicon sequencing, 19 which we name HiMAP...
