Extracting phylogenetic signal from phylogenomic data: Higher-level relationships of the nightbirds (Strisores)
Abstract
Extensive analyses revealed conflict within ultraconserved element data. Analyses were designed to uncover bias related to GC content and variance. A strongly supported estimate of the Strisores tree is presented. Potential evolutionary pathways of nocturnality in the Strisores are discussed.
