Multispecies coalescent delimits structure, not species.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 14 Feb 2017

Sukumaran Jeet, Knowles L Lacey

Abstract excerpt

The multispecies coalescent model underlies many approaches used for species delimitation. In previous work assessing the performance of species delimitation under this model, speciation was treated as an instantaneous event rather than as an extended process involving distinct phases of speciation initiation (structuring) and completion. Here, we use data under simulations that explicitly model speciation as an...
