GEN,,VIèVE LEDUC-ROBERT is an academic who published a paper in 2020 entitled Data from: Phylogeny with introgression in Habronattus jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae). GEN,,VIèVE LEDUC-ROBERT published this work as part of a team: Leduc-Robert, Geneviève. Here is a description of this work: <b>Abstract</b><br/>Background: Habronattus is a diverse clade of jumping spiders with complex courtship displays and repeated evolution of Y chromosomes. A well-resolved species phylogeny would provide an important framework to study these traits, but has not yet been achieved, in part because the few genes available in past studies gave conflicting signals. Such discordant gene trees could be the result of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) in recently diverged parts of the phylogeny, but there are indications that introgression could be a source of conflict. Results: To infer Habronattus phylogeny and investigate the cause of gene tree discordance, we assembled transcriptomes for 34 Habronattus species and 2 outgroups. The concatenated 2.41 Mb of nuclear data (1877 loci) resolved phylogeny by Maximum Li.
