a
Results are as indicated by the results of Tajima’s 1D relative rate test (26) for DNA sequences at 19 protein coding loci listed in Fig. 1.
b
The 1D relative rate statistic distribution is the same as the distribution of χ2. *, significant at P < 0.0001. If the value is significant, the null hypothesis of equal rates of sequence evolution can be rejected.
