Multilocus sequence data were collected at the Center for Anchored Phylogenomics at Florida State University (www.anchoredphylogeny.com) following Lemmon et al. [41 (link)] with some adjustments. Each genomic DNA sample was sonicated to a fragment size of ~175–300 bp using a Covaris E220 Focused-ultrasonicator with Covaris microTUBES. Library preparation and indexing followed Meyer and Kircher [49 (link)]. Indexed libraries were pooled at equal quantities (12 pools of 16 samples each), and the library pools were enriched using a custom Agilent Custom SureSelect kit (Agilent Technologies), with probes designed as described above. The 12 enriched library pools were pooled with equal quantities for sequencing on 4 PE150 Illumina HiSeq2000 lanes with 8 bp indexing. Sequencing was performed at Florida State University in the College of Medicine Translational Science Laboratory.
