Phylogenomics Sinn, Brandon T. [1], Daragan, Christina [2], Freudenstein, John V. [3]. Phylogenomics of Asarum subgenus Heterotropa section Hexastylis: serial derivations of similar floral forms spawned from two geographically-widespread species. Low-level phylogenetic relationships between species of Asarum subgenus Heterotropa section Hexastylis have not been resolved by analyses using plastid and nuclear markers. Using Double-Digestion Restriction Enzyme-Associated DNA Sequencing (ddRADseq), we have generated and analyzed phylogenomic datasets of up to ~5,000,000 characters from 97 individuals, representing all taxa in section Hexastylis. Using a custom pipeline, we combined elements of Stacks, pyRAD, RAxML, and multiple R libraries to streamline and automate dataset generation and analysis by integrating phylogenetic, niche equivalency and morphometric analyses. ML analyses recover two major diversification events within section Hexastylis, each with a phyletic grade of a geographically-widespread, paraphyletic progenitor species which has repeatedly spawned geographically-restricted species with novel floral shapes.
