Fig. 6

Species tree estimation error for the Mclade model of missing data. Species tree error (measured by the RF error rate) is shown for different species tree estimation methods for increasing numbers of genes. Each column represents a different level of incomplete lineage sorting (ILS): panels (a), (d), (g), and (j) show datasets with low ILS, panels (b), (e), (h), and (k) show datasets with high ILS, and panels (c), (f), (i), and (l) show datasets with very high ILS. Each row represents a different species tree estimation method: panels (a)-(c) show ASTRAL, panels (d)-(f) show ASTRID, panels (g)-(i) show MP-EST, and panels (j)-(l) show SVDquartets. Lines represent the average over 20 replicate datasets, and filled regions indicate the standard error. Line color indicates the percentage of missing data: datasets with 0%, 30%, and 60% clade-based missing data are shown in blue, orange, and green, respectively. Solid lines indicate that species tree estimation methods were given true gene trees, and dashed lines indicate that species tree estimation methods were given estimated gene trees. Note that SVDquartets was given the true multiple sequence alignment. Datasets shown here have deep speciation events; results for datasets with recent speciation are shown in Additional file 1
