  1. Taxonomic coverage (GLMM): best model explaining the percentage representing the number of mosquito species recorded in 142 countries available in BOLD, compared to the number of mosquito species with records in 317 countries and localities in the taxonomic catalogue (Wilkerson et al.7). Barcode gap (GLM): best model explaining the occurrence of the barcode gap. See text for details.
