Number of recognized species of New World Myotis based on general region and genetic distance value comparisons.

Number of recognized species and number of endemic species based on the current literature [12]–[16]. Note the number of genetic lineages by region and the total in each instance: all ≥2.0% genetic divergence and all ≥5.0% divergence (some species are found in more than one region). Asterisk indicates the number of currently recognized species represented in our dataset. n = number of individuals sequenced from the region. Average divergence value and standard error by region is also listed. Abbreviations: NA = North America, CA = Central America, CB = Caribbean, SA = South America.
