Delimiting Species-Poor Data Sets using Single Molecular Markers: A Study of Barcode Gaps, Haplowebs and GMYC [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2015 Most single-locus molecular approaches to species delimitation available to date have been designed and tested on data sets comprising at least tens of species, whereas the opposite case (species-poor data sets for which the hypothesis that all individuals are conspecific cannot by rejected beforehand) has rarely been the focus of such attempts.

Species Delimitation, Phylogenetic Relationships, and Temporal Divergence Model in the Genus Aeromonas [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The definition of species boundaries constitutes an important challenge in biodiversity studies. In this work we applied the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC) method, which determines a divergence threshold to delimit species in a phylogenetic ...

Factors affecting species delimitations with the
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2013 Summary The generalized mixed Yule‐coalescent (GMYC) model has become one of the most popular approaches for species delimitation based on single‐locus data, and it is widely used in biodiversity assessments and phylogenetic community ecology. We here examine an array of factors affecting GMYC resolution (tree reconstruction method, taxon sampling ...
