  1. Accuracy is defined as the percentage of sequences correctly assigned to their species in the case of Near Neighbour and Best Close Match. For the tree-based method, the accuracy was expressed as the percentage of species with more than one sequence that grouped as monophyletic in their respective molecular marker tree. 1Threshold based criterion of 1%. 2Experimental script in SPIDER. 3Percentage of species monophyletic to the respective tree. 4 X. brevicolle species complex excluded from the analysis.
