Data from: Whole genomes reveal evolutionary relationships and mechanisms underlying gene-tree discordance in Neodiprion sawflies

Rapidly evolving taxa are excellent models for understanding the mechanisms that give rise to biodiversity. However, developing an accurate historical framework for comparative analysis of such lineages remains a challenge due to ubiquitous incomplete lineage sorting and introgression. Here, we use a whole-genome alignment, multiple locus-sampling strategies, and locus-based and SNP-based species-tree methods to infer a species tree for eastern North American Neodiprion species, a clade of pine-feeding sawflies (Order: Hymenopteran; Family: Diprionidae). We recovered a well-supported species tree that—except for three uncertain relationships—is robust to different strategies for analyzing whole-genome data. Despite this consistency, underlying gene-tree discordance is high. To understand this discordance, we use multiple regression to model topological discordance as a function of several genomic features. We find that gene-tree discordance tends to be higher in regions of the genome that may be more prone to gene-tree estimation error, as indicated by a lower density of parsimony-informative sites, a higher density of genes, a higher average pairwise genetic distance, and gene trees with lower average bootstrap support. Also, contrary to the expectation that discordance via incomplete lineage sorting is reduced in low-recombination regions of the genome, we find a negative correlation between recombination rate and topological discordance. We offer potential explanations for this pattern and hypothesize that it may be unique to lineages that have diverged with gene flow. Our analysis also reveals an unexpected discordance hotspot on Chromosome 1, which contains several genes potentially involved in mitochondrial-nuclear interactions and produces a gene-tree that resembles a highly discordant mitochondrial tree. Based on these observations, we hypothesize that our genome-wide scan for topological discordance has identified a nuclear locus involved in a mito-nuclear incompatibility. Together, these results demonstrate how phylogenomic analysis coupled with high-quality, annotated genomes can generate novel hypotheses about the mechanisms that drive divergence and produce variable genealogical histories across genomes.

Data for: Ancient rapid radiation explains most conflicts among gene trees and well-supported phylogenomic trees of nostocalean cyanobacteria

Prokaryotic genomes are often considered to be mosaics of genes that do not necessarily share the same evolutionary history due to widespread Horizontal Gene Transfers (HGTs). Consequently, representing evolutionary relationships of prokaryotes as bifurcating trees has long been controversial. However, studies reporting conflicts among gene trees derived from phylogenomic datasets have shown that these conflicts can be the result of artifacts or evolutionary processes other than HGT, such as incomplete lineage sorting, low phylogenetic signal, and systematic errors due to substitution model misspecification. Here, we present the results of an extensive exploration of phylogenetic conflicts in the cyanobacterial order Nostocales, for which previous studies have inferred strongly supported conflicting relationships when using different concatenated phylogenomic datasets. We found that most of these conflicts are concentrated in deep clusters of short internodes of the Nostocales phylogeny, where the great majority of individual genes have low resolving power. We then inferred phylogenetic networks to detect HGT events while also accounting for incomplete lineage sorting. Our results indicate that most conflicts among gene trees are likely due to incomplete lineage sorting linked to an ancient rapid radiation, rather than to HGTs. Moreover, the short internodes of this radiation fit the expectations of the anomaly zone, i.e., a region of the tree parameter space where a species tree is discordant with its most likely gene tree. We demonstrated that concatenation of different sets of loci can recover up to 17 distinct and well-supported relationships within the putative anomaly zone of Nostocales, corresponding to the observed conflicts among well-supported trees based on concatenated datasets from previous studies. Our findings highlight the important role of rapid radiations as a potential cause of strongly conflicting phylogenetic relationships when using phylogenomic datasets of bacteria. We propose that polytomies may be the most appropriate phylogenetic representation of these rapid radiations that are part of anomaly zones, especially when all possible genomic markers have been considered to infer these phylogenies.

Data for: Resolving marine–freshwater transitions by diatoms through a fog of gene tree discordance

Despite the obstacles facing marine colonists, most lineages of aquatic organisms have colonized and diversified in freshwaters repeatedly. These transitions can trigger rapid morphological or physiological change and, on longer timescales, lead to increased rates of speciation and extinction. Diatoms are a lineage of ancestrally marine microalgae that have diversified throughout freshwater habitats worldwide. We generated a phylogenomic dataset of genomes and transcriptomes for 59 diatom taxa to resolve freshwater transitions in one lineage, the Thalassiosirales. Although most parts of the species tree were consistently resolved with strong support, we had difficulties resolving a Paleocene radiation, which affected the placement of one freshwater lineage. This and other parts of the tree were characterized by high levels of gene tree discordance caused by incomplete lineage sorting and low phylogenetic signal. Despite differences in species trees inferred from concatenation versus summary methods and codons versus amino acids, traditional methods of ancestral state reconstruction supported six transitions into freshwaters, two of which led to subsequent species diversification. Evidence from gene trees, protein alignments, and diatom life history together suggest that habitat transitions were largely the product of homoplasy rather than hemiplasy, a condition where transitions occur on branches in gene trees not shared with the species tree. Nevertheless, we identified a small set of putatively hemiplasious genes, many of which have been associated with shifts to low salinity, indicating that hemiplasy played a small but potentially important role in freshwater adaptation. Accounting for differences in evolutionary outcomes, in which some taxa became locked into freshwaters while others were able to return to the ocean or become salinity generalists, might help further distinguish different sources of adaptive mutation in freshwater diatoms.
