Ma and Mb are the numbers of substitutions at the 3rd codon positions in the lineages leading to species A and B, respectively. Na and Nb are the number of substitutions at the 1st and 2nd codon positions in the lineages leading to species A and B, respectively. Species names are as in Table 1. P < 0.05 was used to reject the null hypothesis of equal rates between lineages. * 0.05 > P > 0.01; ** 0.01 > P > 0.001; *** P < 0.001.
