Resolving Phylogenetic Relationships of a Recently and Rapidly Evolving Lineage from Western North America (Mentzelia Section Bartonia, Loasaceae)
This study aimed to elucidate species relationships in Mentzelia section Bartonia (Loasaceae), a recently and rapidly evolving angiosperm clade from western North America. To achieve this goal, we applied a HybSeq approach with Angiosperms353 and implemented a novel bioinformatics pipeline that aimed to minimize noise in our data while maximizing phylogenetic signal.
