Our first discussion of Fall 2013 will be lead by Bruno de Medeiros about the following article:
Eaton, D. A. R., & Ree, R. H. (2013). Inferring Phylogeny and Introgression using RADseq Data: An Example from Flowering Plants (Pedicularis: Orobanchaceae). Systematic Biology, 62(5), 689–706. doi:10.1093/sysbio/syt032
He writes:
"I chose this paper because it deals with two important subjects for those working with species-level phylogenies: introgression and the use of RADseq to obtain markers. As an entomologist, I used to think that rampant introgression was a problem for other people, but it seems to be a very general phenomenon affecting pretty much any taxon. Also RADseq is a nice methodology for obtaining SNPs in non-model organisms, but there are some challenges to use it for phylogenetics and it is interesting to see how people deal with that."
