Relationship between the number of mitochondrial and single-copy nuclear genes used in multilocus reptile species delimitations. Symbol size indicates frequency of the combination of mitochondrial and nuclear gene numbers. Note that the numbers of specimens sequenced for mitochondrial and nuclear genes are not considered! Many studies only sequence a subset of specimens for the nuclear genes.
