Beetles Getting It Dung: Current Research in Scarabaeinae and Other Dung-associated Beetles

Testing a tailored probe set for Scarabaeinae

Wednesday, November 8, 2023
1:50 PM – 2:05 PM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Chesapeake A
In-Person
A new tailored ultraconserved element (UCE) probe set for Scarabaeinae was designed to improve locus recovery and phylogenomic inference. The new probe set published in Gustafson et al., targets 3,174 loci  (2,112 tailored for Scarabaeinae, and 1,062 in common with the Coleoptera 1.1kv1 probe set  (Faircloth 2017)) using a total of 25,786 probes. Here we explore the performance of the probes for resolving the phylogeny of Scarabaeinae and the breadth of phylogenetic inference within Scarabaeoidea.
