Abstract:
Using mitochondrial DNA and genome-wide SNP, phylogenetic relationships in Chalcorana were investigated. Phylogenetic analyses based on subregions of mtDNA found possible lineages of several cryptic species, but did not support the phylogenetic relationships of some groups. Phylogenetic analyses based on SNP resulted in the same topology as mtDNA, with some exceptions, and clarified the phylogenetic relationships among all lineages. Genome-wide analyses successfully estimated taxonomic positions of several lineages that could not be resolved in mtDNA analyses.
