Convergent evolution of the army ant syndrome and congruence in big-data phylogenetics

This study provides a phylogeny of the ant subfamily Dorylinae by generating sequence data from 2,500 ultraconserved element loci from 154 species comprising 27 genera. Using these data we reconstruct complete genus-level phylogeny using concatenated Bayesian and maximum-likelihood as well as species-tree approaches, estimate divergence dates and diversification rates for the subfamily, and investigate the influence of model mis-specification on phylogenetic analysis. Deposited here are the adapter-trimmed raw read Illumina sequence data, containing both on-target reads assembling to UCE loci and off-target reads
