Abstract
Bayesian species delimitation can be robust to guide-tree inference errors.
Highlights
Species limits are traditionally determined based on morphological, behavioral, and ecological traits
To reduce the space of models to be evaluated in the reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (rjMCMC), the implementation of (Yang and Rannala 2010; Rannala and Yang 2013) in the program BPP requires the user to specify a rooted phylogeny for the populations, called the guide tree
Note that we used only the population tree topology inferred by the two methods (RAxML/BEAST and ∗BEAST), and ignored any support measures for clades on the tree, such as the bootstrap support values calculated by RAxML and the posterior clade probabilities calculated by ∗BEAST
Summary
Species limits are traditionally determined based on morphological, behavioral, and ecological traits. The nuclear sequence data (either one locus or five loci) simulated above were analyzed using BPP version 2.2 to delimit species.
