N, the number of D. subquinaria and D. recens sequences for each gene; L, the length of the gene region analyzed. Pr(Ks) and Pr(Ka) represent the probabilities that the rates of evolution of silent and replacement sites, respectively, do not differ between the two lineages compared.

a

Represents data from portions of 12 protein-coding genes.

b

Pr(Ks) not calculated for adhr due to saturation of silent sites.

c

Noncoding region.
