Mean sequence divergence within (diagonal) and between (lower left) described and undescribed Osedax species. (Total DNA sample sizes including redundant sequences (N) and GenBank accession numbers for unique sequences are given for each species. Published DNA sequences from Osedax japonicus from Japan and O. mucofloris from Sweden are considered for comparative purposes.)
