Concatenation fails to describe the anomalous radiation of giant cockroaches (Blattodea: Blaberidae) despite moderate to low discordance by Dominic A. Evangelista, Michael A. Gilchrist, Frédéric Legendre, Brian O’Meara

“…Abstract Background Patterns of discordance between gene trees and the species trees they reside in are crucial to the coalescent vs. concatenation debate and may be key to resolving rapid radiations. However, errors in gene trees complicate the issue as topological errors can cause gene trees to appear erroneously discordant with the species tree. …”
