Table 3 Tabular summary of results of molecular species delimitation via STACEY under different parameter settings

From: Integrative taxonomy by molecular species delimitation: multi-locus data corroborate a new species of Balkan Drusinae micro-endemics

  1. Specimens referred to by unique identifiers are grouped by species; results are displayed relative to morphologically distinguishable taxa and identical minuscules indicate group membership as inferred through STACEY using different prior settings. Grey cells indicate conflicts of species hypotheses and taxonomic benchmark, white cells indicate congruence of morphological delimitation and molecular species delimitation. Compound labels separated by slashes indicate prior settings for growth rate and population scale factor. Labels: J, Jeffreys prior; E/E, empiric priors corresponding to a logarithmic normal growth rate prior around (2.5, 1.2) and a logarithmic normal population scale factor prior around (−8.5, 2); S, logarithmic normal prior (M = 3, S = 1.5); M, logarithmic normal prior (M = 5, S = 2.5); L, logarithmic normal prior (M = 7, S = 3.5); mth, ploidy settings of mitochondrial loci corresponding to ¼ of the value used for nuclear loci; mtd, equal ploidy settings for all loci; asterisk, original analysis. For analytical details, see text. Order of specimens corresponds to order of specimens in Fig. 1
