BackgroundExisting software for comparison of species delimitation models do not provide a (true) metric or distance functions between species delimitation models, nor a way to compare these models in terms of relative clustering differences along a lattice of partitions. Resultspiikun is a Python package for analyzing and visualizing species delimitation models in an information theoretic framework that, in addition to classic measures of information such as the entropy and mutual information [1], provides for the calculation of the variation of information criterion [2], a true metric or distance function for species delimitation models that is aligned with the lattice of partitions. Conclusionspiikun is available under the MIT license from its public repository (https://github.com/jeetsukumaran/piikun), and can be installed locally using the Python package manager pip.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
