Table 5. Divergence of Strix occidentalis caurina and Strix varia at all protein-coding genes.
This provides the number of base substitutions per site for all mitochondrial protein-coding genes and rRNAs between the mitochondrial sequences of Strix occidentalis occidentalis and S. varia. P-distance refers to an uncorrected pairwise distance while TN93 refers to the pairwise distance corrected by the Tamura-Nei 1993 model (Tamura & Nei, 1993).
