Table 1_withMOTU

Taxonomic assignment of MOTUs through the BOLD online identification engine using two different methods: the neighbour-joining hierarchical tree-based ‘strict’ (S) and the sequence similarity ‘best match’ (BM) approach (Ross et al. 2008). Only sequences with >98% similarity were considered as a possible match: >98% for a “genus” match and >99% for a “species” match. For the BM approach, only matches with sampling sites in Australia were considered; * indicates sampling sites in south-western WA while ** indicates sampling sites in WA but outside of the south-west. Species highlighted in grey are thought to use hearing based defences against the echolocation calls of bats. This table is a modified version of Table 1 and includes each associated MOTU.
