Summary statistics from the Species Delimitation plugin of Geneious for haplogroups of Rangiferini and Odocoileini deer recovered in the Bayesian tree. Focal haplogroup support: posterior probability values; Intra: The average pairwise tree distance among members of the focal haplogroup; Inter: the average pairwise tree distance between the focal haplogroup and the members of the closest haplogroup; Intra/Inter: the ratio of Intra to Inter; P ID (strict): the mean (95% confidence interval) probability of correctly identifying an unknown member of the focal haplogroup using the criterion that it must fall within, but not sister to, the species clade in a tree; P ID (liberal): the mean (95% confidence interval) probability of correctly identifying an unknown member of the putative species using the criterion that it falls within, or sister to, the species clade in a tree; Av (MRCA-tips): the mean distance between the most recent common ancestor of a haplogroup and its members.
