“…Namely, the presence of intracelular parasites ( Wolbachia , Xiao et al, ), copies of nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTS, Hazkani‐Covo, Zeller, & Martin, ), gene introgression in hybrid species (Bachtrog, Hornton, Lark, & Andolfatto, ), and the incomplete lineage sorting (Pollard, Iyer, Moses, & Eisen, ) are among the factors that might have affected our results and increased the intraspecific distance obtained in the taxa above mentioned. In addition to that, a very small percentage of the sequencing reads (~0.1%, Taberlet et al, ) might have been assigned to the wrong sample index during the sequencing process, although a recent study suggests that this is not the main cause of errors in Illumina platforms (Pfeiffer et al, ). The same study also reports that the sequencing reads quality control, such as the one employed in this study is capable of correcting such errors.…”
