Phylogenomics Straub, Shannon C.K. [1], Liston, Aaron [2], Weitemier, Kevin [3], McDonnell, Angela Jean [4], Fishbein, Mark [4]. Phylogenomics of Temperate North American Milkweeds (Asclepias) based on 768 nuclear genes. North American milkweeds are plants in the genus Asclepias (Apocynaceae) well-known for their interactions with insect herbivores, such as monarch butterfly larvae, that are mediated by host plant chemistry. Resolving the relationships in this genus of ca. 115 species has been difficult because it is a recent, rapid evolutionary radiation that exhibits low sequence variation and problematic levels of incomplete lineage sorting, and to a more limited extent, introgression. Here we focus on the phylogenomics of the temperate North American clade of ca. 50 species by using the Hyb-Seq approach for high-throughput data collection for 768 putatively single copy nuclear genes, as well as whole plastomes, for multiple individuals per species from populations across their ranges. Species tree analyses of nuclear data result in topologies that conflict with the topology of the plastome tree, but are more similar to relationships that are expected based on morphology.
