target capture-based phylogeny of emerald moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Geometrinae)

The emerald moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Geometrinae) are a cosmopolitan subfamily with over 275 genera and 2,600 species. Most of these moths are characterized by a green ground color, with different lineages exhibiting different shades of green. The monophyly of Geometrinae has been confirmed by multiple phylogenetic analyses. However, the relative placement of many of the geometrine tribes is poorly supported. In this study, we use anchored hybrid enrichment to obtain phylogenomic data from over 400 loci for 63 genera of emerald moths, representing all 23 proposed tribal hypotheses, and generated a phylogeny to assess the status of these tribes.
