Published arthropod substitution rate estimates for the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI)

Reference	Taxon	Corrected pairwise distance (%)	Per lineage rate, (subst./site/my)
Caccone and Sbordoni [95]	Ovobathysciola cave beetles	1.2	0.006
Caccone and Sbordoni [95]	Speonornus cave beetles	1.3	0.0065
Farrell [19]	Tetraopes beetles	1.5	0.0075
Juan et al. [96]	Pimelia beetles, Canary Is.	1.3	0.0065
Knowlton and Weigt [20], Morrison et al. [97]	Alpheus snapping shrimp	1.4	0.007
Papadopoulou et al. [25]	Tenebrionid beetle genera (6)	3.54	0.0177
Schubart et al. [98]	Sesarma land crabs #1	1.28, 1.9	0.0064, 0.0095
Sota and Hayashi [85]	Plateumaris leaf beetles	1.6	0.008

Although these distances were reported as percentages in the papers referenced, a common practice, this is not ideal for corrected distances since the values can exceed 100%.
