The BPP program for species tree estimation and species delimitation [PDF]
, 2016 This paper provides an overview and a tutorial of the BPP program, which is a Bayesian MCMC program for analyzing multi-locus genomic sequence data under the multispecies coalescent model. An example dataset of five nuclear loci from the East Asian brown

Unguided Species Delimitation Using DNA Sequence Data from Multiple Loci [PDF]
, 2014 A method was developed for simultaneous Bayesian inference of species delimitation and species phylogeny using the multispecies coalescent model. The method eliminates the need for a user-specified guide tree in species delimitation and incorporates ...

Delimiting Species without Monophyletic Gene Trees [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2007 Genetic data are frequently used to delimit species, where species status is determined on the basis of an exclusivity criterium, such as reciprocal monophyly. Not only are there numerous empirical examples of incongruence between the boundaries inferred from such data compared to other sources like morphology -- especially with recently derived ...

Multispecies coalescent delimits structure, not species [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Significance Despite its widespread application to the species delimitation problem, our study demonstrates that what the multispecies coalescent actually delimits is structure. The current implementations of species delimitation under the multispecies coalescent do not provide any way for distinguishing between structure due to population ...

Is population subdivision different from speciation? From phylogeography to species delimitation
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Species‐level diversity and the underlying mechanisms that lead to the formation of new species, that is, speciation, have often been confounded with intraspecific diversity and population subdivision.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 DNA taxonomy including barcoding and metabarcoding is widely used to explore the diversity in biodiversity hotspots. In most of these hotspot areas, chafers are represented by a multitude of species, which are well defined by the complex shape of male ...
