Stoffberg et al., 2010; Taylor et al., 2012). Recently,
Foley et al. (2015) examined approximately 10 kb in
40 species, including ten Rhinolophus spp., and produced
a well-resolved phylogeny for the taxa
included.
To examine the utility of target sequence capture
across congeneric taxa, we designed baits against
coding sequences in two species of horseshoe bat,
and used these to obtain new data from across the
group. As a result of the scarcity of many of these
species, we used material held in museum collections
that encompass a range of ages and preservation
methods. In particular, we were interested in determing
to what extent the success of capture varied
with phylogenetic relatedness between ‘bait’ and target
species.
