K2P distances between Epimeria cornigera, Epimeria frankei sp. nov., and Gammarus locusta.
| Species | Mean ISD | Max. ISD | n | BIN | Nearest Species | Distance to NN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Epimeria cornigera (Fabricius, 1779) | 0.14 | 0.65 | 23 | AAU2062 | Epimeria frankei | 8.69 |
| Epimeria frankei sp. nov. | 1.06 | 3.15 | 57 | AAU2061, ACS7228 | Epimeria cornigera | 8.69 |
| Gammarus locusta (Linnaeus, 1758) | 0.6 | 1.08 | 6 | AAC0402 | Epimeria frankei | 31.06 |
Divergence values were calculated for all sequences studied, based on the Nearest Neighbor Summary implemented in the Barcode Gap Analysis tool provided by the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD). Align sequencing option: BOLD aligner (amino acid based HMM), ambiguous base/gap handling: pairwise deletion. ISD = intraspecific distance. BINs are based on the barcode analysis from 15-02-2017.
