Free, user-friendly web-platform for integrative species delimitation analyses, inc. video tutorials

This document introduces the Spart explorer web platform developed under Task 6.3. This tool enables integrative species delimitation analyses through a free, user-friendly web platform. Species hypothesis can be inferred from a DNA alignment in FASTA format using ASAP or ABGD methods. Limes then compares the different partitions qualitatively and associates them with a score independently of the method used. Last but not least, Spart explorer lets you graphically visualise results, whether generated or imported from pre-existing data. In this document, we present several screenshots showing the graphical user interface and the various options available, as well as a link to a video which has the same purpose. We conclude by mentioning the limitations and prospects for improvement of this web platform.
