Table 1.

Parameter values (on the logit scale) of the model relating the proportion of cryptic species detected within each superfamily with their lifestyle (0: free-living, 1: symbiotic), the number of taxa analyzed for the presence of cryptic species and the research methods used (the use of DNA-based methods 0 = No, 1 = Yes; the use of bioassays 0 = No, 1 = Yes)

Parameter Estimate SE z value p
Intercept −8.50 0.46 −18.52 <0.0001
Lifestyle −0.12 0.34 −0.34 0.73
No. of taxa analyzed 2.06 0.28 7.29 <0.0001
DNA 3.48 0.52 6.71 <0.0001
Bioassay 1.52 0.58 2.63 0.0085
Taxa:DNA −2.10 0.29 −7.16 <0.0001
Taxa:bioassay 0.06 0.10 0.61 0.54
DNA:bioassay −1.14 0.66 −1.72 0.086

All two-way interactions between variables coding the research effort (no. of taxa analyzed, the use of DNA, the use of bioassays) were included in the model, allowing for testing the potential acceleration in cryptic species detection when using an integrated approach
