Assessing a Bayesian Approach for Detecting Exotic Hybrids between Plantation and Native Eucalypts

Table 3

The overall accuracy of assignment of simulated parental and hybrid individuals and pedigreed hybrids between Eucalyptus globulus and five other species, based on Bayesian cluster analysis using to identify hybrid individuals (see Supplementary Material 1 for more detail). Each simulated generation consisted of 50 individuals.
