Molecular Divergence and Estimated Divergence Time Between Native Mammals on the Tibetan Plateau and Their Lowland Relatives
| Species | Molecular divergence | Divergence time (million years before presence) |
|---|---|---|
| P. hodgsonii–C. hircus | 0.124 | 2.22 |
| P. hodgsonii–O. aries | 0.126 | 2.25 |
| O. aries–C. hircus | 0.124 | 2.21 |
| B. grunniens–B. taurus | 0.089 | 1.59 |
Based on complete sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome b and a substitution rate of 0.056 per site per million years between two mammalian taxa.
