Genome wide phylogenomic analysis of Anastrepha resolves a major radiation of New World fruit-infesting flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

This work provides a new phylogenetic tree of Anastrepha species- and species groups- from anchored hybrid enrichment phylogenomic data to serve as a reference system and diagnostic data resource. We captured 293 orthologous nuclear loci for 728 Anastrepha individuals representing 237 species, as well as from seven outgroup Tephritidae. These data strongly support the monophyly and interrelationships of many of the previously recognized Anastrepha species groups, but also reveal new support for relationships for unplaced taxa and species of uncertain affinities.
