Statistical analyses to evaluate the influence of methods on species identification success rates

Methods	NN	BLASTn	Liberal tree-based	Liberal tree-based (+threshold)
Rates of species identification success (±SE)	0.9743 ± 0.0088a	0.9716 ± 0.0109a	0.9271 ± 0.0184b	0.9168 ± 0.0212b

In the Duncan’s multiple range test, columns with different superscripted letters (a, b, c and d) indicate significant difference at P=0.05 between mean values; no significant difference was seen between mean values with the same superscript.
