Phylogenomics and fossil data inform the systematics and geographic range evolution of a diverse Neotropical ant lineage

Benjamin Blanchard, Shauna Price, Scott Powell, Bonnie Blaimer & Corrie Moreau
Recent advances in phylogenomics allow for the use of large amounts of genetic information in phylogenetic inference. Ideally, the increased resolution and accuracy of such inferences facilitate improved understanding of macroevolutionary processes. Here, we integrate ultraconserved elements (UCEs) with fossil and biogeographic range data to explore diversification and geographic range evolution in the diverse turtle ant genus Cephalotes. We focus on the potential role of the uplift of the Panamanian land bridge and the putative...
