In the context of diminishing global biodiversity, this study examines the validity and practicality of species delimitation methods for identifying neglected and undescribed biodiverse species. The results suggest that distance-based methods are generally superior to tree-based methods, with the ASAP method being the most efficient. In terms of phylogenetic methods, the single threshold version of GMYC performs better and PTP shows higher efficiency in delimiting species. Additionally, GMYC is significantly influenced by taxonomic rank, performing poorly at the genus level.
In the context of diminishing global biodiversity, the validity and practicality of species delimitation methods for the identification of many neglected and undescribed biodiverse species have been paid increasing attention. DNA sequence-based species delimitation methods are mainly classified into two categories, namely, distance-based and tree-based methods, and have been widely adopted in many studies. In the present study, we performed three distance-based (ad hoc threshold, ABGD, and ASAP) and four tree-based (sGMYC, mGMYC, PTP, and mPTP) analyses based on Trochoidea COI data and analyzed the discordance between them. Moreover, we also observed the performance of these methods at different taxonomic ranks (the genus, subfamily, and family ranks). The results suggested that the distance-based approach is generally superior to the tree-based approach, with the ASAP method being the most efficient. In terms of phylogenetic methods, the single threshold version performed better than the multiple threshold version of GMYC, and PTP showed higher efficiency than mPTP in delimiting species. Additionally, GMYC was found to be significantly influenced by taxonomic rank, showing poorer efficiency in datasets at the genus level than at higher levels. Finally, our results highlighted that cryptic diversity within Trochoidea (Mollusca: Vetigastropoda) might be underestimated, which provides quantitative evidence for excavating the cryptic lineages of these species.
