Table 5.

Genes of comparative interest. Uncorrected distances between Laupala and the specified taxon are shown, where possible. The mean uncorrected pairwise distance (p) between all taxa (excluding Laupala) is shown for each gene in the final column for comparison. Alignments of each gene are presented as NEXUS files in the online additional files.
