Note.—The sequences used are those shown in fig. 2, after omission of the partial Mordacia mordax Rh1. Amino acid divergence is the proportion of substitutions per site, with no correction for multiple substitutions. Nonsynonymous (dN) and synonymous (dS) substitutions were estimated by the modified Nei–Gojobori method (Nei and Gojobori 1986; Zhang et al. 1998) with correction for multiple substitutions, as implemented in Mega6. The values shown are the mean and standard error for comparisons within and between classes, and n is the number of pairwise sequence comparisons.
