Note: Posterior probabilities for correct delimitation models are given for the results from BPP: Inline graphic of the one-species model for Scenario I; Inline graphic of the two-species model for Scenarios II and III; Inline graphic of the five-species model for Scenario IV; and Inline graphic of the four-species model for Scenario V. The numbers of delimited OTUs for each simulated species are reported for both GMYC and PTP.

BPP Inline graphic Bayesian Phylogenetics and Phylogeography; GMYC Inline graphic generalized mixed Yule-coalescent; PTP Inline graphic Poisson tree processes; bPTP-h Inline graphic Bayesian PTP heuristic; bPTP-ML Inline graphic Bayesian PTP maximum likelihood; PTP-h Inline graphic PTP heuristic; PP Inline graphic posterior probability; OTU Inline graphic operational taxonomic unit.
